How to Install 167RLR/168RLR Loadbreak Replacement Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of 167RLR and 168RLR Loadbreak Replacement Elbow Connectors, converting livefront terminations to deadfront for UD cables.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Cable cutter, Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Probe wrench, Hotstick, Hose clamp tightening tool
Supplies needed:
Replacement Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (supplied), Hose Clamp, Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Appropriate connector for neutral wires, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if replacing shipping covers)
- Perform Initial Safety Checks and Preparation
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting installation or removal of parts. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical safety practices. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or death. Inspect all package contents and components for completeness, damage, proper fit, and compatibility. Read all instructions thoroughly and have all required tools and supplies ready, maintaining cleanliness.
- Remove Livefront Termination
Remove the rubber cap from the existing terminator. Cut off and remove the old connector from the top of the terminator. Disconnect the ground lead from the base of the terminator. Finally, remove the terminator housing from the cable.
- Prepare the Cable
Train the cable to be straight and in-line with the bushing centerline. Measure and cut the cable to 10-1/2 inches from the bushing centerline. Verify the insulation shield measures less than 6-1/2 inches from the end of the cut cable; if greater, consult Elastimold. Carefully remove 1-3/8 inches of cable insulation from the end, ensuring a square cut and avoiding nicks to the conductor.
- Install the Compression Lug
Immediately wire brush the bare aluminum conductor. Install the compression lug, rotating it to spread the inhibitor. Align the lug's contact threaded hole with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe off any excessive inhibitor from the lug and cable.
- Assemble the Elbow Housing
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing using ONLY the supplied lubricant; do not substitute. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable with a back-and-forth twisting motion, then wipe off all excess grease. Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring it turns freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.
- Connect the Concentric Neutral
Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tight, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, providing adequate slack for elbow operation. Add the supplied hose clamp as shown in the diagram and tighten it snugly, but do not overtighten.
- Connect Elbow and Bushing Plug
Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing ONLY if the transformer and elbow are confirmed to be de-energized. Connect the elbow and bushing plug using a full insulated 'hotstick' type live-line tool, following safe operating instructions. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
