Overview

The ABB 273DRGA is a 25kV, 200 Amp loadbreak insulated cap designed for medium-voltage electrical systems. This fully shielded, fully submersible connector is engineered for energized operation on 25kV class loadbreak systems, meeting ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 requirements. The 273DRGA features an integral #14 AWG ground lead for safe system grounding and an insulated cuff for enhanced protection during installation and operation. This model is supplied without a probe, indicated by the 'A' suffix, making it ideal for applications requiring a separate probing mechanism or where probing is not required. The cap is hot stick operable, allowing safe manipulation in energized environments. Key electrical ratings include 15.2kV maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage, 26.3kV phase-to-phase, 125kV BIL impulse withstand, and 10kA symmetrical momentary/fault close capability. The molded EPDM rubber construction ensures durability and resistance to environmental conditions. Compatible with Elastimold mating products such as 2701A4 bushing inserts, 274FT feed thru, and 274 series junctions, the 273DRGA is a critical component for dead-ending systems in utility, industrial, and commercial electrical distribution networks.

How to Install the 273DRGA Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

Instructions for installing and removing the 273DRGA 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. CAUTION: Train the grounding wire so it does not contact the bushing interface during operation. WARNING: If the ground lead disconnects during operation, do not attempt to reattach without first pulling the insulated cap off the bushing with the hotstick.

  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. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  3. Install the insulated cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing. Push 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.

  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. Remove the electrostatic grounding wire of the insulated cap from the system ground. Replace the protective cover on the insulated cap to keep its internal surface clean.
