How to Install the 262LR Loadbreak Elbow Connector
A comprehensive guide for the safe installation and initial connection of the 262LR Loadbreak Elbow Connector on various UD cables, including cable preparation, lug crimping, and elbow assembly.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Wire strippers, Hotstick (live-line tool)
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (Do Not Substitute), Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Appropriate connector (for neutral to ground), Cold shrink tube (if using sealing kit), Conductive copper tape (if using 200ECS-G2 kit), Vinyl tape (for drain wires, if applicable), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if replacing shipping covers)
- Perform Initial Safety Checks and Component Inspection
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus in the work area are de-energized before beginning installation. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical safety practices. Inspect all package contents to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and mating products. Check the probe threads by hand-threading the probe into the compression lug; if resistance is encountered before full assembly, replace the damaged component. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before energizing or submerging the circuit.
- Prepare the Cable According to Type
Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Based on your cable type (Non-Jacketed Concentric Neutral, Jacketed Concentric Neutral, Jacketed with Drain Wires, or Jacketed Copper Tape Shield), follow the specific preparation instructions. For concentric neutral cables, pull an extra 24-26 inches (610-660mm) of cable beyond the bushing centerline and bind neutrals 7-3/4 to 8 inches (195-203mm) further back, or connect neutrals to tank ground with a jumper. Cut excess cable squarely at the bushing centerline. If using a sealing kit (e.g., 200ECS, 200ECS-G1, 200ECS-G2), slide the cold shrink tube onto the cable loose end first. For jacketed cables, remove 9-5/8 inches (240mm) of the outer jacket. For copper tape shield cables, also remove 7-1/8 inches (180mm) of the copper tape shield and wrap conductive copper tape over the end to secure it.
- Prepare Conductor and Insulation
Remove the insulation shield and insulation 2-1/8 inches (55mm) from the cable end, ensuring a square cut and taking care not to nick the conductor. Wire brush any bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug. Rotate the lug to spread the inhibitor and position it so the contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the manufacturer's chart, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the lug and cable. Remove the insulation shield 6-7/8 inches (175mm) back from the cable end, ensuring a straight, smooth, and squared cut without nicking the insulation. Bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or excess inhibitor.
- Assemble the Elbow Connector
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may harm the product. Maintain cleanliness, keeping insulation free of dirt and grime. 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 provided wrench until the wrench bends, indicating proper torque.
- Connect Grounding Wires
Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist the wire tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. If the elbow was preordered with a ground wire, skip this step. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Ensure adequate slack in the wires to allow for elbow operation.
- Connect the Elbow to the Bushing Plug (Loadmake Operation)
DANGER: CONFIRM THAT BOTH THE TRANSFORMER AND THE ELBOW ARE DE-ENERGIZED before proceeding with the connection. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Securely fasten a full insulated 'hotstick' type live-line tool to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Confirm positive control of the elbow connector. Remove any insulated cap from the bushing using the hotstick. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches (50mm) into the bushing. DO NOT HOLD IN THIS POSITION; immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Apply sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
