How to Install 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of 161LR and 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors, designed for terminating various UD cables to 15kV class loadbreak bushings. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Probe wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Hotstick, Wire strippers, Voltage sensing device (for capacitive test points)

Supplies needed:

162LR Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Non-substitute Lubricant, UD Cable, No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire, Neutral wire connector, Vinyl tape (if applicable), Conductive copper tape (if applicable), Cold shrink tube (if applicable)

  1. Prepare the Cable for Termination

    Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Depending on your cable type (non-jacketed, jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed with drain wires, or jacketed copper tape shield), follow the specific instructions to manage neutral, drain, or shield wires, and cut the cable squarely at the bushing centerline. If using a cold shrink sealing kit, slide the cold shrink tube onto the cable at this stage.

  2. Prepare the Cable End and Install Compression Lug

    Remove 2-1/8 inches (55mm) of the shield and insulation from the cable end, ensuring a square cut without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug, rotating it to spread inhibitor. Align the lug's threaded hole with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the manufacturer's chart, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe off any excess inhibitor. Remove the insulation shield as shown in the diagram, and bevel the insulation end by a maximum of 1/8 inch (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or inhibitor.

  3. 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 any 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.

  4. Ground the Elbow Connector

    Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it 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, refer to its specific instructions.

  5. Connect the Elbow to the Bushing

    DANGER: CONFIRM THAT BOTH THE TRANSFORMER AND THE 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, using sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
