Install 161LR/162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation and initial setup of 161LR (without test point) and 162LR (with test point) Loadbreak Elbow Connectors on various UD cables. It covers cable preparation, elbow assembly, grounding, and final connection.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Hotstick
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (Do Not Substitute), UD cables, ElastimoldR Loadbreak Bushing/Accessory, Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Appropriate neutral wire connector
- Perform Initial Safety Checks and Component Verification
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus in the work area are de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products. Verify that all package contents are complete and undamaged. Check all components for proper fit with the cable and mating products. Thread the probe into the compression lug to check for damage; replace if resistance is encountered. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Train and Initially Cut Cable
Train the cable to ensure sufficient slack for ease of operation. To facilitate neutral connection and hotstick operation, ensure an extra length of concentric neutral wires or grounding braid wire is available, typically 24 to 36 inches (610 to 914 mm) beyond the bushing centerline. Cut the excess cable squarely at the centerline of the bushing.
- Prepare Cable End and Install Compression Lug
Remove the shield and insulation 2-1/8 inches (55mm) from the cable end, cutting squarely without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug. Rotate the lug to spread inhibitor and align its threaded hole with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug per its chart, starting at the crimp line and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Wipe excess inhibitor. Remove the insulation shield as shown in diagrams and bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch (5mm). Thoroughly clean insulation to remove all dirt or inhibitor traces.
- Assemble 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. 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.
- Ground the Elbow Connector
Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm) or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist the wire tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Ensure adequate slack in the wires to allow for elbow operation.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug
CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE DE-ENERGIZED. 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, using sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
