How to Install the 160GLR & 370GLR Grounding Elbow
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of the 160GLR and 370GLR Grounding Elbows to de-energized UD systems. Always follow local safety protocols.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Hotstick, Suitable sensing device (for capacitive test points), Meter capable of direct reading system voltage (if using 370TR Test Rod), 370TR Test Rod (optional, for direct test)
Supplies needed:
160GLR or 370GLR Grounding Elbow, Lubricant (supplied with elbow, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if replacing shipping covers)
- Perform Pre-Installation Checks and Safety Preparations
Before starting, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Inspect the contents of the package to confirm completeness and no damage. Check all components for proper fit with the cable and/or mating products. If the product came with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.
- Connect Ground Lead to System Ground
Connect the lead on the grounding elbow to the system ground. Ensure there is enough slack in the ground lead to allow for hotstick operation of the grounding elbow. The ground lead must be connected to system ground before connecting the elbow to the bushing.
- Lubricate the Grounding Elbow
Remove the protective cap from the grounding elbow. Apply a light, uniform coat of the supplied lubricant, working it thoroughly into the surface. CAUTION: Excess lubricant may prevent the grounding elbow from being fully seated in the 'locked on' position. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime.
- Initiate System De-energization Verification
ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS DE-ENERGIZED. Do not insert the grounding elbow into the bushing unless the circuit has been tested and shown to be de-energized. You must confirm the system is de-energized using one of the following procedures before proceeding. If voltage is indicated by any procedure, do not proceed without de-energizing the system.
- Perform Indirect De-energization Test (Capacitive Test Points)
If using capacitive test points, test with a suitable sensing device made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device; it is not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the meter used. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means.
- Perform Direct De-energization Test (370TR Test Rod)
If using the 370TR Test Rod, remove any existing elbow or insulated cap from the bushing with a hotstick following applicable loadbreak operating instructions. Firmly tighten a hotstick to the 370TR test rod operating eye. Insert the test rod into the bushing and use a meter capable of direct reading the system voltage to check the test rod disc for voltage. Remove the test rod. CAUTION: The hotstick eye and disc of the test rod are not insulated; keep them clear from ground until tested 'de-energized'.
- Connect Grounding Elbow to Bushing
If measurement indicates the system is de-energized, proceed with connection. DANGER: Continue to treat the system as energized using a hotstick for all operations in case of error or equipment malfunction. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. Firmly tighten a hotstick to the grounding elbow operating eye. Place the grounding elbow receptacle area over the bushing, inserting the probe approximately 1 to 2 inches into the bushing. Firmly thrust the grounding elbow home with a fast, straight motion, which will engage the internal lock of the grounding elbow into the bushing interface.
