How to Install 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of 252LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors to UD cable and a 25kV class deadbreak bushing or accessory device. Ensure all safety precautions are followed.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wrench, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Wire strippers, Hot stick, Suitable sensing device for capacitive test points
Supplies needed:
252LR Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Probe Contact, Lubricant (supplied with product), Hold-down Bail, UD cable (concentric neutral and semi-con shielding), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire, Appropriate connector for grounding neutral wires, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if replacing shipping covers), Silicone grease
- Prepare for Installation and Perform Safety Checks
DANGER: De-energize all apparatus before beginning installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before energizing. Check package contents for completeness and ensure the elbow housing cable entrance size and compression lug size match your cable. Thread the probe into the compression lug by hand to check for resistance; replace damaged components if resistance is encountered. If the test point cap is not installed, lubricate the cap and test point, then install the cap.
- Train and Prepare the Cable
Train the UD cable as shown in the documentation to ease operation, ensuring a minimum of 20 inches (508.0mm) beyond the end of the cable pad mount transformer. Cut the excess cable squarely at the centerline of the bushing. Unwrap and bind the concentric neutral wires 8-1/2 inches (216.0mm) back from the end of the cable. Remove the shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely and taking care not to nick the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately and install the compression lug, rotating it to spread the inhibitor. Position the compression lug so the contact threaded hole aligns 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 excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable. Remove the semi-con shield as shown, then bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch (3.2mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue.
- Assemble the Elbow Connector
Clean and lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful. Keep the insulation clean of dirt and grime. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess silicone 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. Tighten the probe with the wrench until the wrench bends, indicating proper torque.
- Connect Concentric Neutral and Install Bail
Using a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent, insert one end through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist it tightly, ensuring not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Provide adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation. Place the hold-down bail into the hold-down bracket, compressing the bail and inserting it into the brackets.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing and Secure Bail
Clean the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing. Lubricate these parts 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. DO NOT SEPARATE IF ENERGIZED. 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 down on the elbow locator by turning the eyebolt in a clockwise direction. Adjust the nut on the eyebolt until it allows the eyebolt to seat securely in the locator. The nut should act as a stop to prevent the eyebolt from applying excessive force on the elbow. Once the nut is in its final position, it will not need readjustment when removing and replacing the elbow.
- Perform Voltage Test (Optional)
If equipped with an integral capacitance test point, use it to establish if the circuit is energized. Remove the test point cap with a hot stick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the specific meter used. Test with a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, or incorrect equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on the test point.
