How to Install 375LR/376LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial connection of 375LR and 376LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors to UD cable and a 35kV class loadbreak bushing. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Probe wrench, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Hotstick, Suitable voltage sensing device, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Elastimold Lubricant (Do Not Substitute), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire, Appropriate grounding connector, Insulated cap(s) or connector(s), Silicone grease

  1. Perform Pre-Installation Checks and Safety Precautions

    Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation. Verify the contents of the package are complete and undamaged. Check all components for proper fit with the cable and mating products. Thread the probe into the compression lug by hand to check for resistance; replace damaged components if resistance is encountered. Confirm all required tools and supplies are at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This installation must be performed by competent personnel trained in high-voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Train the UD cable for ease of operation, ensuring at least 20 inches beyond the cable pad mount transformer. Cut excess cable squarely at the bushing's center line. Unwrap and bind concentric neutral wires 8-1/2 inches back. Carefully remove the insulation 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 chart, starting at the crimp line and rotating 180 degrees for each crimp. Wipe excess inhibitor. Remove the remaining insulation shield and bevel the insulation end 1/8 inch max. Thoroughly clean insulation to remove conductive residue.

  3. Assemble the Elbow Connector

    Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied Elastimold lubricant; do not substitute. Keep the insulation clean of dirt and grime. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion, then wipe off all excess grease. 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 probe wrench until the wrench bends, indicating proper torque.

  4. Connect the Concentric Neutral

    Using a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent, insert one end through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist it tight, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all concentric neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Ensure adequate slack is provided in the wires for future elbow operation.

  5. Prepare for and Connect the Elbow to the Bushing

    Lubricate the elbow connector's receptacle and the mating bushing with the supplied Elastimold lubricant. WARNING: Only lubricate if the transformer and elbow are known to be de-energized. Remove any insulated cap from the bushing using a hotstick tool. Securely fasten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector's pulling eye. With firm footing and positive control, withdraw the elbow from any parking stand using a fast, straight, firm motion, avoiding placement near a ground plane. Insert the probe tip approximately 2 inches into the bushing, then immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Apply sufficient force to engage the internal lock. WARNING: Do not hold the elbow in the partially inserted position.
