How to Install the 10EP Elbow Cable Entrance Insulating Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the 10EP Elbow Cable Entrance Insulating Plug onto an Elastimold 200amp Deadbreak or Loadbreak elbow, including initial setup and voltage testing.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Pliers, Hotstick, Suitable capacitive sensing device

Supplies needed:

10EP Elbow Cable Entrance Insulating Plug, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD® approved), Male contact, Protective cap (for male contact threads), Wire (No. 14 AWG copper equivalent, for grounding), Test point cap, Silicone grease

  1. Perform Pre-Installation Safety and Inspection

    Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

  2. Lubricate the Insulating Plug

    Lightly lubricate the surface of the insulating plug with the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD® approved lubricant for a distance of approximately 4-1/2 inches from the second chamfered step. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to this product or its mating product(s).

  3. Position and Insert the Insulating Plug

    Position the insulating plug so its flat contact area faces the receptacle end of the elbow connector. Slide the 10EP into the elbow connector until it cannot advance any further. Look into the receptacle end of the elbow to verify if the threaded hole in the 10EP is properly positioned to accept the male contact. If it is not, use pliers on the exposed end of the 10EP to turn it into position.

  4. Install the Male Contact

    Remove the protective cap from the threads of the male contact. Insert the threaded end of the male contact into the threaded hole of the insulating plug, which is located in the receptacle end of the elbow. Hand tighten this contact. SNUG TIGHTEN ONLY TO AVOID STRIPPING THREADS; do not tighten until the wrench bends as indicated in the elbow connector instructions.

  5. Complete Elbow Assembly and Grounding

    Lightly lubricate both the bushing and elbow connector mating surfaces. Complete the assembly as indicated in the instructions for the elbow. Elbows using the 10EP must be grounded by connecting a piece of wire equivalent to No. 14 AWG (2.5mm²) copper from the apparatus ground to the elbow grounding eye.

  6. Perform Voltage Test (Optional)

    If performing a voltage test, first remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly in line with the test point assembly. 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. Test with a suitable sensing device, made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points, to determine if the cable is energized. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means, as contamination or incorrect equipment can provide false readings.

  7. Replace Test Point Cap

    After voltage detection has been made, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the test point cap with silicone grease. Replace the cap firmly on the test point.
