How to Install the Elastimold 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of the Elastimold 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector to UD cable having concentric neutral and semi-con shielding, including cable preparation and final bailing.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool (refer to compression lug package), Wire strippers, Hot stick, Suitable sensing device (for capacitive test points)
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing (252LR), Compression Lug, Probe, Probe Contact, Lubricant (supplied with connector), Hold-down Bail, No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire, Appropriate ground connector
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Check the elbow housing cable entrance size and compression lug size for proper fit with the cable. Thread the probe into the compression lug to check threads; if resistance is encountered, check for damage and replace the component. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing.
- Train Cable
Train the cable as shown in the documentation to ease operation, ensuring a minimum of 20 inches (508.0mm) beyond the end of the cable. Cut any excess cable squarely at the center line of the bushing.
- Prepare Cable
Unwrap and bind concentric neutral wires 8-1/2 inches (216.0mm) back from the end of the cable. Remove the shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely and taking care not to nick the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor. Position the compression lug so the contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug starting at the crimp line mark, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable. Remove the semi-con shield as shown, and bevel the insulation end 1/8 inch (3.2mm) maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue.
- Assemble Elbow Housing
Clean and lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable with a back and forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess silicone lubricant. Align the elbow with the compression lug’s threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring not to cross-thread. Tighten with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.
- Assemble Hold-down Bail
Place the hold-down bail into the hold-down bracket by compressing the bail and inserting it into the brackets.
- Connect Concentric Neutral
Using a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent, insert one end through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Provide adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug
Clean the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing, and lubricate with the supplied lubricant. LUBRICATE ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE-ENERGIZED. Use a fully insulated hot stick to place the elbow on the bushing. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. DO NOT SEPARATE IF ENERGIZED.
- Secure Elbow with Bail
Pull the hold-down bail up over the crown or top of the elbow so that the eyebolt on the bail is directly over the operating eye. Tighten down on the elbow locator by turning the eyebolt in a clockwise direction. Adjust the nut on the eyebolt until it allows the eyebolt to seat securely in the locator. The nut should act as a stop to prevent the eyebolt from applying excessive force on the elbow. Once the nut is in its final position, it will not need readjustment when removing and replacing the elbow.
- Perform Voltage Test (Optional but Recommended)
If the connector is equipped with an integral capacitance test point, remove the test point cap with a hot stick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the meter used. Test with a suitable sensing device made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination or incorrect equipment can provide 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 on the test point.
