How to Install the 274DRG/376DRG Insulated Cap with Test Point & Ground Lead

This guide provides instructions for safely installing the 274DRG/376DRG insulated cap to insulate, shield, and waterseal 25kV or 35kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

274DRG/376DRG Insulated Cap, Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant

  1. De-energize and Inspect

    Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating components. Verify the package contents are complete and undamaged. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Connect Ground Lead

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Leave enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. Ensure the grounding wire is trained to avoid contact with the bushing interface during operation.

  3. Prepare Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cap from the insulated cap and lubricate the receptacle's internal mating surface using only ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. Do not substitute. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime.

  4. Attach Insulated Cap to Bushing

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

  5. Remove Insulated Cap (Optional)

    To remove the insulated cap, first attach a hot-stick to the pulling eye. Before pulling, rotate the cap slightly in a clockwise direction while in the mated position to break surface friction. Pull the receptacle off with a fast, firm, straight motion. Remove the electrostatic grounding wire from the system ground. Replace the protective cap on the insulated cap to keep its internal surface clean.
