How to Install the 655LRTP-F0230-DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead
Instructions for installing and removing the 655LRTP-F0230-DRG insulated cap with ground lead on a loadbreak bushing interface.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Hotstick, Screwdriver (for system ground connection, if applicable)
Supplies needed:
Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), Mounting screws (if applicable for system ground)
- 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.
- 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.
- Install the insulated cap
Firmly attach the hotstick to the insulated cap's 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.
- Remove the insulated cap
Attach the hotstick to the pulling eye. Before pulling, rotate the insulated cap clockwise 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.
