How to Install 261LR and 262LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of 261LR and 262LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors on various types of underground distribution cables. Ensure all safety precautions are followed.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Cable cutting tool, Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimp tool (specific to compression lug), Probe wrench, Hotstick (fully insulated live-line tool)
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (supplied, do not substitute), Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm) or equivalent, Appropriate connector for neutral wires, Vinyl tape (if applicable for cable type), Cold shrink tube (if using sealing kit), Conductive copper tape (if using 200ECS-G2 kit), Insulated cap (to be removed from bushing)
- Perform Initial Safety Checks and Component Inspection
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Check package contents to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify proper fit with cable and/or mating products. Thread the probe into the compression lug to check for resistance; replace damaged components if resistance is encountered. Read all instructions before starting and have all required tools ready, maintaining cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare the Cable for Connector Installation
Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for ease of operation. Prepare neutral or drain wires according to your cable type (e.g., pull extra length, bind, or remove outer jacket). Cut the excess cable squarely at the centerline of the bushing. Remove the outer jacket and copper tape shield (if applicable) to the specified dimensions for your cable type. 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 immediately and install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor. Align the lug's threaded hole with the bushing bore and crimp according to the lug's chart, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe off excess inhibitor. Remove the insulation shield 6-7/8 inches (175mm) from the lug and bevel the insulation end 1/8 inch (5mm) maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or excess inhibitor.
- Assemble the Elbow Connector onto the Cable
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. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess lubricant. 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, indicating proper torque.
- Ground the Elbow Connector
Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm) or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist the wire tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Ensure adequate slack in the wires for elbow operation. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, refer to its specific instructions for completion.
- Connect the Elbow to the Bushing Plug
CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE DE-ENERGIZED before proceeding. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Remove the insulated cap from the bushing by attaching a hotstick tool to the insulated cap pulling eye and following its instructions. Securely fasten the hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches (50mm) into the bushing. Immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion, using sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
