Overview

ABB Installation Products SKU 167DRGA is a 200 Amp, 15kV loadbreak insulated cap designed for medium-voltage applications. This unit includes an integrated ground lead and an insulated cuff for enhanced safety during installation and maintenance. The cap is rated for 15,000 volts phase-to-ground and 14,400 volts phase-to-phase, meeting ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 for 15kV class systems. The 167DRGA is fully shielded, fully submersible, and hot stick operable, making it suitable for energized operation in power distribution panels, switchgear terminations, transformer connections, and industrial electrical systems. The absence of a probe simplifies installation in tight spaces or where probe interference is a concern. The insulated cuff provides additional protection against accidental contact, reducing electrical hazards during handling. Key specifications include a 95kV BIL impulse withstand, 34kV AC one-minute withstand, 53kV DC 15-minute withstand, and 11kV AC corona extinction at 3pC sensitivity. The unit supports continuous and loadbreak operation up to 200 Amperes and 10kA symmetrical momentary/fault close ratings. Each kit includes the insulated cap, lubricant (82-08), and installation instructions (IS-0892).

How to Install the 167DRGA Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

Instructions for installing and removing the 167DRGA 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.
