Tools needed:
Hotstick
Supplies needed:
168DRG Insulated Cap with Test Point & Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant
- Ensure Safety and De-energize Apparatus
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.
- Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire
Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, leaving 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 cap from the insulated cap. Lubricate the receptacle’s internal mating surface using only ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE, as other lubricants may be harmful to this product and its mating products. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime.
- Attach and Mate the Insulated Cap
Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing, and push it 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.
