This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation of ELASTIMOLD 15kV class 160DRG and 167DRG insulated caps with ground lead onto loadbreak bushing interfaces.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Hotstick, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
ELASTIMOLD 160DRG/167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant
- Perform Safety Checks and Prepare for Installation
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating products. Verify that all components fit correctly with the cable and/or mating products. Gather all required tools and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire
Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Ensure enough slack is left 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.
- 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 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.
- Install Insulated Cap onto Bushing
Firmly attach a 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.
