How to Install the 650GP and 750GP Deadbreak Grounding Plug

This guide provides instructions for installing the 650GP and 750GP Deadbreak Grounding Plug, designed to ground a cable terminated with a 600 ampere elbow. It covers connecting to system ground, attaching to a parking stand, and connecting the de-energized elbow.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

Grounding Plug, Mounting hardware, Lubricant

  1. Connect to System Ground and Lubricate

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Connect the flexible lead of the grounding plug to system ground, ensuring enough slack to operate with a hotstick. Clean the interface of the grounding plug and lubricate this surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. Do not substitute. Always replace the protective cap when the grounding plug is not in use.

  2. Attach Hotstick and Mount in Parking Stand

    Attach a hotstick to the eye of the grounding plug carriage assembly. Slide the carriage assembly into the parking stand.

  3. Connect De-energized Elbow to Grounding Plug

    DANGER: Follow the applicable instructions for the (K)655LR /755LR to determine that the elbow connector is de-energized before removing it from the apparatus bushing. Remove the elbow connector from the apparatus bushing and place it onto the grounding plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE ELBOW CONNECTOR IF IT IS ENERGIZED.
