Overview

The ABB 655LRTP-K0330-DRG Stick-Op Loadbreak Connector Kit is a fixed-bolt, 600 Amp, 15kV medium-voltage cable connection solution designed for utility, industrial, and commercial applications requiring safe load-break operations. This kit includes a 25kV-rated reducing tap plug, elbow housing, cable adapter, threaded lug, and insulating cap, providing a complete termination system for medium-voltage cables with insulation diameters from 1.090 inch to 1.310 inch. The kit supports conductor sizes including AWG/kcmil (500 compressed stranded, 600 compacted solid) and mm² (250/300 compact), ensuring compatibility with standard medium-voltage cable systems. The aluminum compression lug delivers secure, long-lasting terminations, while the stick-operated load-break feature enables safe operation under load conditions without cable movement. The Stick-Op design allows direct testing and grounding with an external visible break via hotstick removal of the elbow, enhancing safety in deadfront construction. The kit meets ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and provides a 15.2kV maximum phase-to-ground operating voltage, 95kV BIL impulse withstand, and 25kA symmetrical momentary rating. The peroxide-cured EPDM molded rubber construction ensures durability and resistance to environmental conditions, while the all-copper current path maintains reliable electrical performance.

How to Install and Remove the ELASTIMOLD 160/167DRG Insulated Cap

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and removal of the ELASTIMOLD 160DRG and 167DRG insulated caps with ground lead on 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Insulated hotstick

Supplies needed:

ELASTIMOLD 160DRG/167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, ELASTIMOLD Approved Lubricant

  1. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Connect the free end of the insulated cap's electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground. Leave sufficient slack for hot-stick operation and ensure the wire is trained not to 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 a hotstick.

  2. Prepare and Lubricate Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Apply only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants to the cap's internal mating surface. Do not substitute other lubricants, as they may be harmful. Keep the internal mating surface clean and free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when the cap is not in use.

  3. Install Insulated Cap onto Loadbreak Bushing

    Firmly attach an insulated hotstick to the pulling eye of the insulated cap. Carefully insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing. Push the cap home with a fast, firm, and straight motion until it is fully mated and the locking ring is seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap. Ensure all apparatus remains de-energized during this installation.

  4. Remove Insulated Cap

    To remove the insulated cap, first ensure the circuit is de-energized if it's a deadbreak connector, or use appropriate live-line tools for loadbreak. Attach an insulated hotstick to the pulling eye. Before pulling, rotate the insulated cap clockwise slightly while it is in the mated position to break surface friction. Pull the cap off with a fast, firm, straight motion. Finally, remove the electrostatic grounding wire from the system ground and replace the protective cover on the insulated cap to keep its internal surface clean.
