Overview

The ABB 164SOP3-AB is a 15kV, 200 Amp loadbreak insulated parking bushing designed for medium-voltage electrical systems. This component provides a safe, insulated interface for connecting and disconnecting loadbreak elbows in substations, industrial facilities, and utility distribution networks. The 164SOP3-AB meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements, offering a fully shielded connection with a molded EPDM interface for reliable performance. Its integral cast aluminum bracket secures into a standard parking stand using an insulated hot stick, enabling maintenance and operational flexibility without system de-energization. The bushing supports continuous and loadbreak operation at 200 Amps, with a 10kA symmetrical momentary and fault close rating for 10 cycles. Additional ratings include 8.3kV phase-to-ground and 14.4kV phase-to-phase operating voltage, 95kV BIL impulse withstand, and 34kV AC one-minute withstand. Each kit contains the insulated parking bushing, lubricant, installation instructions, and a protective shipping cap.

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

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation of the ELASTIMOLD 160DRG and 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead. This product is designed for insulating, shielding, and watersealing 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hotstick (8-foot, fully insulated), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Supplies needed:

160DRG or 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Supplied Lubricant

  1. Prepare for Installation and Safety Check

    Before starting, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Inspect the insulated cap and mating parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility. Confirm all package contents are complete and undamaged. This installation must be performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Connect 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

    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. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  4. Attach Insulated Cap to Bushing

    Firmly attach an eight-foot long, fully insulated hotstick to the insulated cap 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.
