How to Install the 273DRG(3) Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the 273DRG(3) Insulated Cap with Ground Lead onto a 25kV class loadbreak bushing interface, ensuring proper insulation, shielding, and watersealing.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

273DRG(3) Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant

  1. Connect Grounding Wire

    Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, leaving enough slack for hot-stick operation. Train the grounding wire so it does not contact the bushing interface during operation.

  2. Lubricate Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap's internal mating surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. Do not substitute other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the product. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime.

  3. Install Insulated Cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick (a minimum length of 8 ft. is recommended) to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing. Push it home with a fast, firm, straight motion, ensuring it is fully mated and the locking ring is seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
