Overview

The ABB 10EP-FG is a 15-35kV, 200 Amp loadbreak elbow cable entrance insulating plug designed for medium-voltage cable systems. This plug accommodates cable insulation diameters between 0.725 inch and 0.835 inch, ensuring compatibility with a range of standard cable sizes. Measuring 9.25 inches in length, the unit is constructed from durable plastic, providing reliable electrical insulation and mechanical protection in outdoor and indoor applications. This loadbreak elbow plug is engineered for safe, hot-stick operable connections in pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and underground distribution systems. It enables quick, loadbreak switching of cable circuits without de-energizing the entire system, reducing downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration. The insulating design prevents phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults during installation and removal, meeting ANSI/IEEE C119.4 standards for loadbreak connectors. Common applications include utility substations, commercial and industrial power distribution, and renewable energy installations where medium-voltage cable terminations require frequent access.

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 sensing device for capacitive test points

Supplies needed:

10EP Elbow Cable Entrance Insulating Plug, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), Elastimold 200amp Deadbreak or Loadbreak elbow, Male contact, Protective cap for male contact, Silicone grease, No. 14 AWG (2,5mm2) copper wire

  1. Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety

    De-energize all apparatus before installation or removal. Inspect all parts (insulating plug, elbow, male contact) for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Ensure all required tools and supplies are at hand. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors if supplied. WARNING: Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. This product should only be installed 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 approximately 4-1/2 inches (11.4 cm) from the second chamfered step. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE, as other lubricants 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 further. Look into the receptacle end of the elbow to verify if the threaded hole in the 10EP is correctly positioned to accept the male contact. If not, use pliers on the exposed end of the 10EP to turn it into position.

  4. Install and Tighten 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, 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. Ground the elbow 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 Verification)

    WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, 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. SAFETY WARNING: Contamination, moisture, dirt, or using the wrong measuring equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious or fatal injury. After voltage detection, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on the test point.
