Overview

ABB Installation Products 164SOP is a 15kV, 200 Ampere loadbreak insulated parking bushing designed for safe and reliable cable termination in medium-voltage applications. This component meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 for 15kV class operations, providing a robust insulated interface for secure connections in switchgear, transformers, and distribution equipment. The unit features a molded EPDM interface and a bolted stainless steel bracket with disk for corrosion-resistant mounting in harsh environments, including outdoor and industrial installations. The 164SOP supports continuous 200A current ratings and loadbreak operations up to 15kV, with a maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage of 8.3kV and phase-to-phase voltage of 14.4kV. It includes provisions for grounding the mounting bracket and is compatible with standard 15kV class cables and loadbreak elbows. The integrated parking bushing design allows for quick cable connection and disconnection without de-energizing the system, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent switching, maintenance access, or temporary load isolation. The SKU 164SOP is engineered for utility, commercial, and industrial power distribution systems.

How to Install the 164SOP Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

Instructions for installing and removing the 164SOP insulated cap with ground lead on a loadbreak bushing interface.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hotstick, Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant, Mounting screws

  1. Connect the electrostatic grounding wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Ensure there is enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. The grounding wire should not contact the bushing interface during operation. WARNING: If the ground lead disconnects during operation, do not attempt to reattach without first pulling the insulated cap off the bushing with the hotstick.

  2. Prepare 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. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  3. Install the insulated cap

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

  4. Remove the insulated cap

    Attach the hotstick to the pulling eye. Before pulling, rotate the insulated cap clockwise while in the mated position to break surface friction. Pull the receptacle off with a fast, firm, straight motion. Remove the electrostatic grounding wire of the insulated cap from the system ground. Replace the protective cover on the insulated cap.
