Overview

ABB Installation Products 252LR-B2035 is a 24kV, 250 Amp deadbreak elbow connector with integrated test point, designed for reliable medium-voltage cable terminations. This IEC-standard connector accommodates copper conductors sized at 35mm² with cable insulation diameters ranging from 16.13mm to 22.90mm, making it suitable for distribution systems requiring deadfront safety and test access without service interruption. The kit includes all necessary components: elbow connector housing, copper compression lug, test probe, probe wrench, bail assembly, lubricant tube, installation instructions, crimp chart, and V.D. Cap-Peroxide. The compression lug ensures secure mechanical and electrical connection, while the integrated test point allows for voltage verification without disconnecting the elbow. The deadbreak design prevents arcing during connection/disconnection, enhancing safety in live-line applications. This connector is commonly used in pad-mounted transformers, switchgear, and underground distribution systems where space efficiency and safety are critical. The IEC compliance ensures compatibility with international medium-voltage infrastructure standards. The included lubricant and installation accessories streamline deployment, reducing field assembly time. The bail assembly provides strain relief and mechanical stability in cable terminations.

How to Install the 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of the 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector. It covers initial cable training, precise cable preparation, elbow assembly, neutral connection, and final connection to a deadbreak bushing. Always ensure all apparatus are de-energized before installation or removal.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wrench, Wire brush, Hot stick, Crimp tool, Wire strippers, Cable cutting tool

Supplies needed:

Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Probe Contact, Lubricant, Hold-down Bail, No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire, Appropriate connector (for neutrals), Vinyl tape (optional), Cold shrink tube (if using sealing kit), Conductive copper tape (if using 200ECS-G2 kit)

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Parts

    Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect all parts for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating components. Read the entire installation instruction before starting, and check package contents for completeness and damage.

  2. Train and Prepare Cable for Termination

    Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Connect neutral wires to the tank ground with a jumper or braid, ensuring extra length for hotstick operation. Cut the cable squarely at the centerline of the bushing. Remove the outer jacket 9-5/8 inches (240mm) back from the bushing centerline (refer to the document for specific cable types and measurements). If applicable, unwrap and bind neutral or drain wires, or wrap conductive copper tape over the shield end. Slide any cold shrink tube onto the cable.

  3. Prepare Conductor and Crimp Lug

    Remove the insulation shield and insulation 2-1/8 inches (55mm) from the cable end, cutting squarely without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately place the compression lug over the bushing, rotating to spread inhibitor. Align the lug's threaded hole with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug starting at the crimp line mark, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe excess inhibitor from the lug and cable. Remove the remaining insulation shield as shown in the document, and bevel the insulation end 1/8 inch (5mm) maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation.

  4. Assemble the Elbow Connector

    Clean the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing, then lubricate with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back and forth twisting motion, then wipe off all excess lubricant. Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, taking care not to cross-thread, then tighten with a wrench until the wrench bends.

  5. Assemble the Hold-down Bail

    Place the hold-down bail into the hold-down bracket.

  6. Connect Concentric Neutrals to Ground

    Using a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent, insert one end through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist tightly. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, providing adequate slack for elbow operation.

  7. Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug

    Clean the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing, then lubricate with the supplied lubricant ONLY if the transformer and elbow are known to be de-energized. Use a fully insulated hot stick to place the elbow onto the bushing. DO NOT operate by hand or separate if energized.

  8. Secure the Elbow with the Bail

    Pull the hold-down bail up over the crown or top of the elbow so the eyebolt on the bail is directly over the operating eye. Tighten the eyebolt by turning it in a clockwise direction. Adjust the nut on the eyebolt to allow it to seat securely in the locator, acting as a stop to prevent excessive force on the elbow.

  9. Perform Voltage Test (Optional)

    Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly. Use a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious or fatal injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside of the cap and replace it on the test point.
