How to Install 161LRJS/162LRJS Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
A comprehensive guide for the safe and proper installation and initial setup of 161LRJS and 162LRJS Loadbreak Elbow Connectors, including cable preparation, assembly, and connection procedures for UD cable.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe wrench, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Wire strippers, Utility knife, Measuring tape, Hotstick, Voltage sensing device (for capacitive test points)
Supplies needed:
Elbow connector housing, Compression lug, Probe, Lubricant, Mastic strips, Vinyl tape, Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Grounding connector, UD cable, ElastimoldR 15kV class loadbreak bushing or accessory device, Insulated cap (if replacing shipping covers)
- Verify Package Contents and Component Fit
Before beginning, check the package contents to ensure all parts are complete and undamaged. Verify that all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products.
- Inspect Probe and Compression Lug Threads
Thread the probe into the compression lug by hand. If any resistance is encountered prior to full assembly, check for damage and replace the affected component.
- Prepare Test Point Cap (162LRJS Only)
If installing the 162LRJS model and the test point cap is not already installed, lubricate the cap and test point with the supplied lubricant and install the cap securely.
- Train Cable for Slack
Train the cable to ensure sufficient slack for ease of operation. Pull extra cable to 24-26 inches beyond the bushing centerline.
- Prepare Neutral Wires for Ground Connection
Remove the outer jacket 7 3/4 to 8 inches back from the bushing centerline. Unwrap the neutral wires past the bushing centerline to facilitate connection to the tank ground.
- Cut Excess Cable Squarely
Cut the excess cable squarely at the centerline of the bushing, ensuring a clean and even end.
- Apply First Mastic Strip and Embed Neutral Wires
Wrap one strip of mastic, stretching slightly, around the cable jacket. Bend all neutral wires straight back over the mastic and along the cable, pressing them firmly into the mastic.
- Apply Second and Third Mastic Strips and Vinyl Tape
Wrap a second strip of mastic completely around the outer jacket, overlapping the neutral wires embedded in the first strip. Use a third strip if needed to build up the outer diameter in the area of the first mastic location. Cover all mastic with vinyl tape.
- Remove Insulation Shield and Insulation
Carefully remove the insulation shield and insulation from the cable end according to the provided template dimensions, taking extreme care not to nick the conductor. Ensure the cut is straight, smooth, and squared.
- Prepare and Install Compression Lug
Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately. Install the compression lug, rotating it to spread inhibitor. Position the lug so the contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug starting at the crimp line mark, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe any excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable.
- Remove Insulation Shield and Bevel Insulation End
Remove the insulation shield as shown in the template. Bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch.
- Clean Cable Insulation
Thoroughly clean the cable insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue, ensuring a pristine surface for assembly.
- Lubricate Cable Insulation and Elbow Housing
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE with other lubricants, as they may be harmful. Keep the insulation clean of dirt and grime.
- Slide Elbow Connector onto Cable
Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess lubricant from the exterior.
- Align Elbow and Thread Probe into Lug
Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring not to cross-thread. The probe must turn freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten with the probe wrench until the wrench bends, indicating proper torque.
- Pull Hood Over Concentric Neutral Seal Area
Pull the hood over the concentric neutral seal area on the cable by pulling the tabs and/or rolling the seal down to ensure a proper seal.
- Connect Separate Copper Wire to Grounding Eye
Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent) through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the eye.
- Connect Neutral Wires to Ground
Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Provide adequate slack in the wires to allow for elbow operation.
- Lubricate Receptacle and Mating Bushing
Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. LUBRICATE ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE-ENERGIZED.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing (Loadmake Operation)
Securely fasten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Confirm positive control of the elbow connector. 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. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts, except for test point caps and indicators.
- Perform Voltage Test (Optional for 162LRJS)
If using the 162LRJS test point, remove the test point cap with a hotstick by peeling it off at an angle. Use a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. After testing, clean and lubricate the cap's inside surface and replace it on the test point. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device; it is not directly connected to the conductor. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means.
