How to Install 161LR/162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial connection of 161LR and 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors to various UD cables and mating bushings.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Hotstick tool, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied), Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Neutral wire connector, Vinyl tape, Conductive copper tape, Cold shrink tube
- Perform Safety and Pre-Installation Checks
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation or removal of parts. Inspect all components for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify package contents are complete and undamaged. Check the threads by hand-threading the probe into the compression lug; replace if resistance is encountered. Gather all required tools and maintain a clean work area throughout the procedure.
- Train Cable and Perform Initial Preparation
Train the cable to ensure sufficient slack for ease of operation. Identify your specific cable type (e.g., non-jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed with drain wires, or jacketed copper tape shield). Follow the corresponding instructions in the documentation for your cable type regarding initial jacket removal, management of neutral or drain wires, and sliding on any cold shrink tubes if applicable. Cut the excess cable squarely at the centerline of the bushing.
- Prepare Cable Ends and Install Compression Lug
Remove the insulation shield and insulation 2-1/8” (55mm) from the cable end, ensuring the cut is square and the conductor is not nicked. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors thoroughly and immediately install the compression lug. Rotate the lug to spread the inhibitor and ensure its contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe off any excess inhibitor. Remove the insulation shield 6-7/8” (175mm) from the end of the insulation. Bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8” (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or excess inhibitor.
- Assemble the Elbow Connector
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing using only the supplied lubricant. Do not substitute. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable with 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.
- 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. Twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Provide adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, refer to its specific instructions.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing
DANGER: Confirm that both the transformer and the elbow are completely de-energized before proceeding with this connection. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Securely fasten a full insulated hotstick tool to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Remove any insulated cap from the bushing by attaching the hotstick tool to its pulling eye and following accessory instructions. Insert the probe tip approximately 2” (50mm) into the bushing. Immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion, applying sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface. Do not hold the elbow in the partially inserted position.
