How to Install 161LR and 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Elastimold 161LR and 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors on various UD cables, including cable preparation, elbow assembly, grounding, and initial connection to a bushing.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Cable cutting tools, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Probe wrench, Hotstick, Suitable voltage sensing device (for 162LR)
Supplies needed:
161LR or 162LR Elbow Connector Kit (includes housing, lug, probe, lubricant), No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire, Appropriate connector for neutral wires, Vinyl tape (if applicable for cable type), Cold shrink tube (if using sealing kit), Conductive copper tape (if using specific sealing kits)
- Perform Initial Inspection and Safety Checks
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect all package contents for completeness and damage. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and mating products. Check the probe threads by hand-threading into the compression lug; replace if resistance is encountered. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before energizing or submerging.
- Prepare the Cable for Termination
Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Follow the specific instructions for your cable type (non-jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed with drain wires, or jacketed copper tape shield) to prepare the neutral wires or grounding braid, remove the outer jacket, and cut the cable squarely at the bushing centerline. If using a sealing kit, slide the cold shrink tube onto the cable at this stage. Bind and fold back ground wires if applicable, securing with vinyl tape.
- Prepare Conductor and Insulation
Remove 2-1/8 inches (55mm) of shield and insulation from the cable end, ensuring a square cut without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately and install the compression lug, rotating it to spread inhibitor. Align the lug's threaded hole with the bushing bore and crimp according to the crimp chart, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe off excess inhibitor. Remove 6-7/8 inches (175mm) of the insulation shield, beveling the insulation end by a maximum of 1/8 inch (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all dirt and inhibitor.
- Assemble the Elbow Connector
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant; DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion, then wipe off all excess lubricant. Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring it turns freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.
- Connect Grounding and Neutral Wires
Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, ensuring adequate slack for elbow operation. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, follow its specific instructions.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug
DANGER: CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE DE-ENERGIZED before proceeding. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Securely fasten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches (50mm) into the bushing, then immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion to engage the internal lock. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
- Verify De-energization (162LR with Test Point Only)
For 162LR connectors equipped with a test point, remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The test point is a capacitance device and not directly connected to the conductor; use a suitable sensing device made for capacitive test points. Follow the meter manufacturer's directions. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean the inside surface of the cap, lubricate with silicone lubricant, and replace it on the test point.
