How to Install 756/776LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and wiring of 756/776LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors on 35kV class systems, ensuring fully shielded and submersible connections.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Cutting tool, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Crimping tool, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

756/776LR Elbow, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Lubricant, Threaded Stud (from Stud Prepack), Insulating Plug (if used as mating part), Voltage Detection Cap (if insulating plug used), Grounding wire (No. 14 AWG Copper or equivalent), Suitable ground connector, Waterproofing material (recommended), HV insulated caps/connectors (if not immediately connected)

  1. Prepare the Cable Position and Length

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Position the cable in its final assembled location, allowing enough slack for elbow removal. Cut the cable 1-3/4 inches (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.

  2. Clean the Cable Outer Jacket

    Clean the outer jacket of the cable for a distance of 24 inches (610mm).

  3. Prepare the Cable Ends

    Prepare the cable according to its type (e.g., Unishield, Lead Sheath, Jacketed, Non-Jacketed). For jacketed and non-jacketed cables, remove the outer jacket (if applicable), shield wires, and semi-con shield to expose the cable insulation and conductor as specified in the product's detailed diagrams, typically involving measurements like 10-3/8 inches (264mm), 11-3/8 inches (289mm), and 13-5/8 inches (340mm) from the end.

  4. Install the Cable Adapter

    Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and then lubricate the cable insulation, working towards the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the edge of the tape marker.

  5. Trim Cable Insulation and Verify Conductor Length

    Carefully remove any protruding cable insulation, cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure not to cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. Verify that the exposed conductor length is between 4-3/8 inches (111mm) and 4-3/4 inches (121mm). If not, re-do the assembly.

  6. Install and Crimp the Compression Lug

    For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor immediately before fully inserting it into the lug. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping; this dimension must be less than 7 inches (178mm). Crimp the compression lug according to its specific instructions. After crimping, wipe off any excess inhibitor and verify the distance from the end of the compression lug to the cable adapter is between 6-7/8 inches (175mm) and 7-5/8 inches (194mm).

  7. Install the Elbow onto the Cable Adapter

    Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow's cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter, pushing until it cannot advance further. Confirm the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Finally, remove the tape marker.

  8. Prepare Mating Products for Connection

    DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized, and do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from both the elbow and the mating part. If the mating part lacks a stud, hand-tighten the threaded stud supplied with the elbow into it. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the provided lubricant, ensuring all surfaces remain clean.

  9. Connect the Elbow to the Mating Part

    Push the elbow onto the mating part, carefully aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part.

  10. Secure the Opposite End Mating Part

    Clean and lubricate the mating part intended for the opposite end of the elbow. Insert this mating part into the elbow, engage the threads, and hand tighten. Torque the mating part to the specifications provided in its own instructions.

  11. Install Insulating Plug and Voltage Detection Cap (If Applicable)

    If using an insulating plug as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place the cap onto the elbow and push down firmly until it snaps into place. CAUTION: The insulating plug provides a means for detecting system voltage; refer to the VOLTAGE TEST section in the product documentation for proper use.

  12. Ground the Cable Shield

    Insert one end of a wire (at least No. 14 AWG Copper ampacity) through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. Ensure the cable shield is properly grounded, either via a grounding device's instructions or an alternate method. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
