How to Install 161LR/162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Elastimold 161LR (without test point) and 162LR (with test point) Loadbreak Elbow Connectors on various UD cables. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Cable cutting tool, Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Probe Wrench, Hotstick type tool
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (supplied, Do Not Substitute), Separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Appropriate connector (for neutral to ground), HV insulated caps or connectors (if replacing shipping covers), Cold shrink tube (optional), Conductive copper tape (optional), Vinyl tape (optional)
- Prepare for Installation and Safety Check
Before starting, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Inspect all components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with the cable and mating products. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors if applicable. Read the entire installation instructions and have all required tools and supplies at hand, maintaining cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage safety practices.
- Train Cable and Perform Initial Jacket/Shield Preparation
Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Based on your specific cable type (Non-Jacketed Concentric Neutral, Jacketed Concentric Neutral, Jacketed Cable with Drain Wires, or Jacketed Copper Tape Shield Cable), follow the detailed instructions in the full manual for initial jacket and shield removal, and neutral wire management. For example, for Non-Jacketed Concentric Neutral cable, pull 24-36 inches of extra cable beyond the bushing centerline, bind the neutrals 7-3/4 to 8 inches back, unwrap the neutral wire to the binding, and cut the excess cable squarely at the bushing centerline. If using a cold shrink sealing kit, slide the tube onto the cable at this stage.
- Prepare Conductor and Insulation
Remove 2-1/8 inches (55mm) of the shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely and taking care not to nick the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately and install the compression lug. Rotate the lug to spread the inhibitor, ensuring the contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the chart provided with the lug, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable. Remove the insulation shield 6-7/8 inches (175mm) from the lug end, ensuring a straight, smooth, and squared cut without nicks. Bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or excess inhibitor.
- Assemble the Elbow
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to this product or its mating product(s). Keep the insulation clean of dirt and grime. 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 not to cross-thread. The probe should turn 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 copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent) through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. If the elbow was preordered with a ground wire, you may skip this step. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, ensuring adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, refer to its specific instructions for completion.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing
CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE DE-ENERGIZED before proceeding with this step. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Operate the connection using a full insulated 'hotstick' type tool. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches (50mm) into the bushing, then immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion, using sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface.
