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, designed for terminating various UD cables to 25kV class loadbreak bushings.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Hotstick (live-line tool), Wire brush, Crimp tool, Suitable voltage sensing device
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied with product), No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire (or equivalent), Appropriate connector for neutral wires, Vinyl tape (if applicable), Conductive copper tape (if applicable), Cold shrink tube (if applicable), Silicone lubricant (for test point cap)
- Conduct Pre-Installation Checks and Cable Preparation
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety. First, verify package contents, inspect all components for damage, and confirm proper fit with the cable and mating products. Check the probe threads by hand-threading into the compression lug; replace any damaged components. Train the cable to provide sufficient slack for operation. Prepare the cable end according to its type (non-jacketed, jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed with drain wires, or jacketed copper tape shield) by cutting squarely, removing outer jackets, unwrapping/binding neutral or drain wires, and applying tape or cold shrink tubes as specified in the detailed instructions for your cable configuration.
- Prepare Cable Insulation and Install Compression Lug
Remove 2-1/8 inches (55mm) of the shield and insulation from the cable end, ensuring a square cut without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors thoroughly and immediately install the compression lug. Rotate the lug to spread the inhibitor and align its threaded hole with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug starting at the crimp line mark, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp, as per the crimp chart. Carefully wipe off any excess inhibitor from the lug and cable. Remove the insulation shield as shown in the manual, and bevel the insulation end by a maximum of 1/8 inch (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or inhibitor.
- Assemble Elbow Housing and Probe
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing using only the supplied lubricant; do not substitute. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable with a back-and-forth twisting motion, then 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 and Neutral Wires
Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. If the elbow is pre-ordered with a ground wire, skip this step. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, ensuring adequate slack for elbow operation. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, refer to its specific instructions to complete the grounding installation.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug
WARNING: Confirm that both the transformer and the elbow are de-energized before proceeding. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Operate the connection using a full insulated hotstick type tool; never operate by hand. Securely fasten the hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches (50mm) into the bushing, then immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion, applying sufficient force to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface.
- Perform Voltage Test (262LR only)
For 262LR connectors equipped with an integral capacitance test point, use this feature to determine if the circuit is energized. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points and follow its manufacturer's directions. Contamination or incorrect equipment can cause a false 'no voltage' indication; always treat the elbow as energized until confirmed by other means. After testing, clean the inside surface of the cap, lubricate with silicone lubricant, and replace it on the test point.
