How to Install 161LRJS/162LRJS Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and assembly of 161LRJS and 162LRJS Loadbreak Elbow Connectors, including cable preparation and connection to a 15kV class loadbreak bushing.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe wrench, Fully insulated hotstick tool, Wire brush, Crimp tool (refer to lug packaging for specifics)
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied with connector kit), Mastic strips (supplied with connector kit), Vinyl tape, No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire, Grounding connector for neutral wires
- Ensure Safety and Inspect Components
WARNING: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Inspect all package contents for completeness and damage. Verify proper fit of components with the cable and mating products. Check the probe threads into the compression lug for free movement. If the 162LRJS model is used and the test point cap is not installed, lubricate the cap and test point, then install the cap.
- Train and Prepare Cable for Neutral Connection
Train the cable to ensure sufficient slack for ease of operation. Mark the centerline of the bushing with tape and pull extra cable 24-26 inches beyond the centerline. Remove the outer jacket 7 3/4 to 8 inches back from the centerline. Unwrap the neutral wires back past the bushing centerline. Cut the excess cable squarely at the bushing centerline. Connect the neutral wires to the tank ground with a jumper or grounding braid, ensuring extra length to facilitate hotstick operation.
- Prepare Cable Insulation and Install Compression Lug
Wrap one mastic strip, stretching slightly, around the cable jacket. Bend all neutral wires straight back over the mastic and along the cable, pressing them into the mastic. Wrap a second mastic strip completely around the outer jacket, overlapping the imbedded neutral wires. Use a third mastic strip if needed to build up the outer diameter in the area of the first mastic location, then cover all mastic with vinyl tape. Remove the insulation shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely and taking care not to nick the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor. Position the compression lug so its contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart packaged with the lug, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable. Remove the insulation shield as shown in the template and bevel the insulation end 1/8 inch maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue.
- Assemble Elbow Housing and Probe
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the lubricant supplied; DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Keep insulation clean of dirt and grime. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable with 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, taking care not to cross-thread. The probe must turn freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.
- Connect Concentric Neutral Wires
Pull the hood over the concentric neutral seal area on the cable by pulling the tabs and/or rolling the seal down. Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm) or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist 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.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Bushing
Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the lubricant supplied. WARNING: Lubricate ONLY IF the transformer and elbow are known to be de-energized. Securely fasten a fully insulated hotstick tool to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Confirm positive control of the elbow connector. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches (50mm) into the bushing. 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.
