How to Install Elastimold 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of Elastimold 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors to UD cable and 25kV class deadbreak bushings.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Fully insulated hot stick, Suitable sensing device (for capacitive test points), Wire strippers, Cable cut back template

Supplies needed:

Elastimold 252LR Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (supplied), Hold-down Bail, UD cable (with concentric neutral and semi-con shielding), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire, Appropriate ground connector, HV insulated caps or connectors (if replacing shipping covers)

  1. Perform Initial Safety Checks and Component Verification

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus in the work area before beginning installation. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify the elbow housing cable entrance size and compression lug size ensure proper fit with the cable. Check the threads by hand-threading the probe into the compression lug; if resistance is encountered, check for damage and replace the component. If the product is supplied with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit.

  2. Train the Cable

    Train the UD cable as shown in the documentation to ease operation. Cut any excess cable squarely at the center line of the bushing.

  3. Prepare the Cable End

    Unwrap and bind the 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 it to spread the inhibitor. Position the compression lug so its contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart, starting at the crimp line mark and 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 in the template, then bevel the insulation end 1/8 inch (3.2mm) maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue.

  4. Assemble the Elbow Connector

    Clean and 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 all excess silicone lubricant. Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, taking care not to cross-thread. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.

  5. Install the Hold-down Bail

    Place the hold-down bail into the hold-down bracket on the elbow assembly.

  6. Connect the Concentric Neutral Wires

    Using a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent, insert one end through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Ensure adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation.

  7. Connect the Elbow to the Bushing Plug

    DANGER: LUBRICATE ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE-ENERGIZED. Clean the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing, then lubricate them with the supplied lubricant. Use a fully insulated hot stick to place the elbow onto the bushing. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. DO NOT SEPARATE IF ENERGIZED.

  8. Secure the Elbow with the 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, acting as a stop to prevent excessive force on the elbow. Once the nut is in its final position, it will not need readjustment when removing and replacing the elbow.

  9. Perform Voltage Test (Optional Verification)

    WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is NOT directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the specific meter used. Remove the test point cap with a hot stick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly in line. 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, moisture, dirt, 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.
