Overview

The ABB 160DR is a 15kV, 200 Amp loadbreak insulated cap designed for medium-voltage electrical systems. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this component is a fully shielded, fully submersible, and hot stick operable separable insulated connector. It meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 for 15kV class systems, with a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 8.3kV and phase-to-phase voltage of 14.4kV. The 160DR provides a 200 Amp continuous and loadbreak current rating, with a 10kA symmetrical momentary and fault close rating for 10 cycles. It is used to dead-end Elastimold mating products such as 1601A4 bushing inserts, 1602A3R feed-thru inserts, 164FT feed-thrus, and 164 series junctions. The cap is molded from EPDM rubber and includes a brass probe. A ground lead version (160DRG) is also available.

How to Install the 160DR(3) Insulated Cap

The 160DR(3) is designed for insulating, shielding, and watersealing 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces. This guide provides instructions for its safe installation, emphasizing de-energization and proper connection procedures.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hotstick, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

160DR(3) Insulated Cap, Lubricant, Electrostatic grounding wire

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Connect Grounding Wire

    Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Connect an electrostatic grounding wire, equivalent to No. 12 to No. 14 copper, to the grounding eye of the insulated cap and twist it tight. Connect the free end of this electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, leaving enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: Train the electrostatic grounding wire so as not to contact the bushing interface during operation.

  2. Prepare the Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap’s internal mating surface. Use only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants; DO NOT SUBSTITUTE, as other lubricants may be harmful to this product and its mating products. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when the cap is not in use.

  3. Install the Insulated Cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap's pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing. Push the cap home with a fast, firm, straight motion, making certain it is fully mated with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
