How to Install Elastimold 273RLR/274RLR Loadbreak Replacement Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Elastimold 273RLR (without Test Point) and 274RLR (with Test Point) Loadbreak Replacement Elbow Connectors, converting livefront terminations to deadfront for UD cables.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Hotstick, Wire brush, Wire strippers, Cable cutter, Crimping tool, Suitable sensing device (for 274RLR voltage test)
Supplies needed:
Replacement Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (supplied, do not substitute), Hose Clamp, Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent), Appropriate ground connector, Test point cap (for 274RLR), Silicone grease (for test point cap)
- Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety
Before starting, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Inspect all package contents for completeness and damage. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and mating products. Check the probe threads by hand-threading into the compression lug; replace if resistance is encountered. Have all required tools ready and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical safety practices. Failure to follow instructions will result in damage and serious or fatal injury.
- De-energize and Remove Livefront Termination
DANGER: All apparatus MUST be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Remove the rubber cap from the terminator. Cut off the existing connector at the top of the terminator. Disconnect the ground lead from the base of the terminator. Finally, remove the terminator housing from the cable.
- Prepare the Cable
Train the cables to be straight and in-line with the bushing centerline. Measure and cut the cable to 10-1/2 inches from the bushing centerline. If the insulation shield measures less than 6-1/2 inches from the end of the cut cable, proceed. If it's greater, consult an ELASTIMOLD representative. Carefully remove 1-3/8 inches of cable insulation from the end, ensuring to cut squarely and DO NOT NICK THE CONDUCTOR.
- Install the Compression Lug
Wire brush the bare aluminum conductor immediately before installation. Install the compression lug onto the conductor, rotating it to spread the inhibitor. Position the compression lug so its contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Begin crimping at the crimp line mark, rotating the lug 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe any excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable.
- Assemble the Elbow Housing
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant; DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion. Wipe off any excess grease. Align the elbow with the compression lug’s threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring not to cross-thread. The probe should turn freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the wrench until the wrench bends.
- Connect the Concentric Neutral
Using a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent), insert one end through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tight, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, providing adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation. Add the supplied hose clamp as shown in the diagram and tighten it snugly, but DO NOT overtighten.
- Connect the Elbow to the Bushing Plug
Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. LUBRICATE ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE-ENERGIZED. Securely fasten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Place the elbow connector receptacle area over the bushing plug, inserting the elbow male contact into the bushing until slight resistance is felt. Immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion to engage the internal lock on the elbow and bushing interface. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
- Perform Voltage Test (274RLR Only)
If installing a 274RLR connector, you can use its integral capacitance test point to check if the circuit is energized. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is NOT directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points, following its manufacturer’s directions. Contamination or incorrect equipment can give a false 'no voltage' indication; treat the elbow as energized until confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it tightly on the test point.
