How to Install the 160DRG/167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides instructions for the safe installation of the 160DRG and 167DRG insulated caps with ground leads, designed for insulating, shielding, and watersealing 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation and that only competent personnel perform the work.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

160DRG or 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant

  1. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Ensure enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: Train the electrostatic grounding wire so it does not contact the bushing interface during operation. WARNING: If the ground lead disconnects during operation, do not attempt to reattach without first pulling the insulated cap off the bushing with the hotstick.

  2. Prepare Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap’s internal mating surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants as they may be harmful. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  3. Attach Insulated Cap to Bushing

    Firmly attach an eight-foot long, fully insulated hotstick to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing. Push the cap home with a fast, firm, straight motion, ensuring it is fully mated with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
