How to Install the 160DRG and 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead
This guide details the safe installation of the 160DRG and 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead for insulating, shielding, and watersealing 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Hotstick
Supplies needed:
Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD Approved Lubricant
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components
Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation. Inspect the insulated cap, ground lead, and mating bushing for any damage, proper rating, and compatibility. Verify all package contents are complete and undamaged.
- 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: The electrostatic grounding wire should be trained so as not to contact the bushing interface during operation.
- Prepare and Lubricate the Insulated Cap
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, as other lubricants may be harmful. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime.
- Install the Insulated Cap onto the Bushing
Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap's pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing, and push home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Make certain it is fully mated, with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
