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 and connecting to 25kV class loadbreak bushings. Always ensure all apparatus are de-energized during installation to prevent serious injury.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe Wrench, Hotstick (live-line tool), Wire brush, Crimp tool (specific to compression lug), Voltage sensing device (for capacitive test points, if 262LR)
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (Do Not Substitute), Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm) or equivalent, Appropriate connector (for neutral wires), Vinyl tape (if using jacketed cable with drain wires), Conductive copper tape (if using jacketed copper tape shield cable), Cold shrink tube (if using sealing kits)
- Perform Pre-Installation Checks and Cable Training
Check package contents for completeness and damage. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and mating products. Read the entire instructions. DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting installation. Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Prepare the concentric neutral wires or grounding braid wire according to the specific cable type (non-jacketed, jacketed, drain wires, or copper tape shield). This may involve pulling extra cable, unwrapping neutrals, or removing outer jackets/shields.
- Prepare the Cable End
Remove 2-1/8" (55mm) of 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. Crimp the lug per the manufacturer's chart, starting at the crimp line and rotating 180 degrees for successive crimps. Wipe off excess inhibitor. Remove the insulation shield as per the cut-back template, beveling the insulation end 1/8" (5mm) max. Ensure cuts are straight, smooth, and squared, avoiding nicks. Thoroughly clean the insulation.
- Assemble the Elbow Connector
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants. Keep insulation clean. 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.
- Connect Grounding and Neutral Wires
Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm) or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist it tightly, taking care 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. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, refer to its specific instructions.
- Connect the Elbow to the Bushing Plug
DANGER: 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. Lubricate only if known to be de-energized. Operate the connection using a full insulated "hotstick" type tool. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. Insert the probe tip approximately 2" (50mm) into the bushing, then immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion to engage the internal lock.
- Perform Voltage Test (262LR with Test Point Only)
For 262LR connectors, remove the test point cap using 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 to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination 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 the cap's inside surface, lubricate with silicone, and replace it.
