What is the product's voltage rating?
The 252LR Elbow Connector is a fully-rated 15/25kV, 200Amp Class dead-break connector.
What items are included in the connector kit?
Each kit contains an elbow connector housing, a bi-metal compression lug, a probe, a probe wrench, a bail assembly, lubricant, and installation instructions.
What sealing kit is used for copper tape shield cables?
For copper tape shield cables, use the 200ECS sealing and grounding kit or add suffix "-SG3" for cables with nominal O.D. between 0.80 in and 1.50 in.
What sealing kit is used for jacketed concentric neutral cables?
For jacketed concentric neutral cables, use the 200ECS sealing kit or add suffix "-S" for cables with nominal O.D. between 0.80 in and 1.50 in.
Is a sealing and grounding kit required?
A sealing and grounding kit is highly recommended for safety purposes with the deadbreak elbow.
What is the purpose of the 160CA adapter?
The 160CA adapter is designed for small cables with insulation OD between 0.495 in and 0.685 in, for use in 165/166LR elbow size housings.
Is a cable adapter needed for small diameter cables?
Yes, for cables with an outer diameter less than 0.565 in, a 160CA-XX cable adapter must be ordered.
What materials are the compression lugs made from?
Compression lugs are available in copper for copper conductors only, or bi-metal with a universal aluminum barrel suitable for copper or aluminum conductors.
Does the connector have a test point?
Yes, the 252LR is equipped with an integral, non-corrosive, capacitive voltage test point.
Can this connector be operated with a hot stick?
Yes, it includes provisions for de-energized operation using standard hotstick tools.
How to Install the Elastimold 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Elastimold 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector, designed to terminate UD cable with concentric neutral and semi-con shielding. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation to prevent serious or fatal injury.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Hot stick, Suitable capacitive voltage sensing device, Cable cut back template
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Probe Contact, Lubricant (supplied with connector), Hold-down Bail, UD cable, No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire, Appropriate grounding connector, HV insulated caps or connectors (if replacing shipping covers)
- Inspect Components and De-energize Apparatus
Before starting, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Inspect the package contents for completeness and damage. Verify the elbow housing cable entrance size and compression lug size match your cable. Check the probe threads by hand-threading it into the compression lug; replace damaged components if resistance is encountered. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors if submerging or energizing the circuit.
- Train and Cut the Cable
Train the UD cable as shown in the documentation to ease future operation. Cut any excess cable squarely at the center line of the bushing, ensuring a minimum of 20 inches (508.0mm) beyond the end of the cable pad mount transformer.
- Prepare the Cable for Termination
Unwrap and bind the concentric neutral wires 8-1/2 inches (216.0mm) back from the end of the cable. Using the cable cut back template, remove the shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely without nicking the conductor. Remove the semi-con shield as shown in the template and bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch (3.2mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue.
- Install the Compression Lug
Wire brush the bare aluminum conductors immediately after preparation. Install the compression lug, rotating it to spread the inhibitor. Position the compression lug so its contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart provided with the lug, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe any excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable.
- Assemble the Elbow Housing and Probe
Clean and lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant; do not substitute. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion, then wipe off all excess silicone lubricant. Align the elbow with the compression lug’s threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring not to cross-thread, and tighten with a wrench until the wrench bends.
- Assemble the Hold-Down Bail
Place the hold-down bail into the hold-down bracket, compressing the bail and inserting it securely into the brackets.
- Connect the Concentric Neutral
Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, ensuring adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation.
- Connect the Elbow to the Bushing
Clean the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing, then lubricate them with the supplied lubricant. Only lubricate 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.
- Secure the Elbow with the Hold-Down Bail
Pull the hold-down bail up over the crown or top of the elbow so that the eyebolt on the bail is directly over the operating eye. Tighten the elbow locator by turning the eyebolt clockwise. 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. Once set, the nut will not need readjustment for future removal/replacement.
- Perform a Voltage Test (Post-Installation)
If performing a voltage test, first remove the test point cap with a hot stick, peeling it off at an angle. Use a suitable capacitive voltage sensing device, following its manufacturer's directions, 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 serious or fatal injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on the test point.
