Overview

The ABB 273DRG-5 is a 25kV, 200 Amp loadbreak insulated cap with ground lead, designed for medium-voltage electrical systems. This fully shielded, fully submersible connector is hot stick operable and separable, meeting ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 for 25kV class loadbreak systems. The unit features a molded EPDM rubber construction with an all-brass probe, providing reliable performance in energized operations. The integral ground lead (#14 AWG) is 62 inches long with a white jacket for clear identification and flexible installation. An insulated cuff offers additional protection during handling and operation. The 273DRG-5 is engineered to dead-end mating Elastimold products including 2701A4 bushing inserts, 274FT feed thru, 2702A1 feed-thru inserts, and 274 series junctions. Key electrical ratings include 15.2kV maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage, 26.3kV maximum phase-to-phase, 125kV BIL impulse withstand, 40kV AC one-minute withstand, and 78kV DC 15-minute withstand. The connector supports 200 Amp continuous and loadbreak current with 10kA symmetrical momentary and fault close capability. Each kit includes the insulated cap, lubricant (82-08), and installation instructions (IS-0894).

How to Install the 273DRG-5 Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

Instructions for installing and removing the 273DRG-5 insulated cap with ground lead on ELASTIMOLD loadbreak bushing interfaces.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hotstick (minimum 8 ft. length recommended), System ground connection tool

Supplies needed:

Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), Protective cover

  1. Connect the electrostatic grounding wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Ensure there is enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. The grounding wire should not contact the bushing interface during operation.

  2. Prepare the 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. Keep the internal mating surface clean. Replace the protective cover when not in use.

  3. Install the insulated cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap's pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing and push it fully home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Verify that it is fully mated and the locking ring is seated. Detach the hotstick.

  4. Remove the insulated cap

    Attach the hotstick to the pulling eye. Rotate the insulated cap slightly while in the mated position to break surface friction. Pull the receptacle off with a fast, firm, straight motion. Disconnect the electrostatic grounding wire from the system ground. Replace the protective cover on the insulated cap.
