This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Elastimold 252LRJS Deadbreak Elbow Connector, designed for terminating UD cable with jacketed concentric neutral and semi-con shielding to 25kV class deadbreak bushings or accessories.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Hotstick, Wire brush, Crimp tool
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant, Hold-down Bail, Mastic, Vinyl Tape, No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) Copper wire, Appropriate connector for neutral wires, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if shipping covers are removed)
- Ensure Safety and Inspect Components
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus are de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating components. 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; if resistance occurs, replace damaged parts. Gather all required tools and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare the Cable
Train the cable to ensure sufficient slack for operation. Create an extra length of concentric neutral wires (24-26 inches beyond the bushing centerline) or grounding braid for hotstick operation and neutral connection. Unwrap neutral wires past the bushing centerline and cut the cable squarely at the bushing centerline. Wrap one strip of mastic around the jacket, bend neutral wires back over it, and press them into the mastic. Wrap a second strip of mastic over the neutral wires, and a third if needed, then cover all mastic with vinyl tape. Remove the insulation shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor. Align the lug's threaded hole with the bushing bore and crimp according to the crimp chart, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Wipe off excessive inhibitor. Remove the insulation shield as shown in the diagram, beveling the insulation end 1/8 inch maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all conductive residue.
- Assemble the Elbow
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. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.
- Install the Hold-down Bail
Place the hold-down bail into the hold-down bracket.
- Connect the Concentric Neutral
Pull the hood over the concentric neutral seal area on the cable by pulling the tabs or rolling the seal down. Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist 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 for elbow operation.
- 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. DO NOT SEPARATE IF ENERGIZED.
- Secure the Elbow with the 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 down on the elbow locator by turning the eyebolt clockwise. Adjust the nut on the eyebolt to allow the eyebolt 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 and replacement.
