How to Install the 160DRG/167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the 160DRG and 167DRG insulated caps with ground leads onto 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

160DRG or 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Parts

    Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect the contents of the package for completeness and damage. Verify all components, including the insulated cap and mating products, for proper fit, rating, and compatibility.

  2. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Leave enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: Train the electrostatic grounding wire so it does not contact the bushing interface during operation.

  3. Prepare Insulated Cap for Installation

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap’s internal mating surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. Do not substitute other lubricants, as they may be harmful. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime.

  4. Install Insulated Cap onto Bushing

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap's pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing. Push the cap home with a fast, firm, straight motion, ensuring it is fully mated with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
