How to Install the 54860N Ground Grid Connector
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the 54860N ground grid connector onto a 5/8 inch ground rod and connecting 1/0 STR-2/0 STR electrical cables.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Rough cloth, Wire brush, Knurling tool 240-31565-94 (optional), Hydraulic crimping tool (e.g., 13100A, TBM14M, TBM15), Die 15506
Supplies needed:
54860N Ground grid connector, 5/8 inch ground rod, Electrical cable (1/0 STR-2/0 STR)
- Prioritize Safety and Professional Installation
WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning the installation to prevent risk of electrical shock. CAUTION: Ensure a qualified electrician performs this installation in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. Confirm the 5/8 inch ground rod is already driven to its final depth before proceeding with the connector installation.
- Prepare the Electrical Cable(s)
Clean all visible dirt from the electrical cable(s) using a rough cloth or brush. Achieve a bright copper finish on the cable(s) by wire brushing or using a similar process to ensure optimal conductivity.
- Optional: Prepare Smooth Ground Rod
If working with a smooth ground rod, use knurling tool 240-31565-94 to prepare the surface. This step is optional and may not be necessary for all ground rod types.
- Insert Cable(s) into Connector
Carefully insert the prepared electrical cable(s) into the 54860N ground grid connector. Verify that the cable end(s) protrude at least 3/4 inch beyond the connector opening to ensure a secure connection.
- Crimp the Connector
Select an appropriate hydraulic crimping tool (e.g., 13100A, TBM14M, TBM15) and install the specified die 15506. Crimp the connector onto the cable(s) and ground rod, performing 3 crimps as illustrated in Figure 2 of the product documentation to secure the connection.
