How to Install the LINK-C Deadbreak Cam Link Operable Connector System
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the LINK-C 600 amp deadbreak connector system, focusing on the alignment bracket mounting method, including preparation, assembly, and grounding procedures.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Hot stick, Torque wrench (with 1-inch hex socket), 600ATM Operating Tool, Wire strippers, Cleaning rags, Lubricant applicator
Supplies needed:
ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant, Alignment bracket hardware (clamps, bolts, washers), #14 AWG or #12 AWG solid copper wire, Grounding connectors, Insulated caps (if applicable)
- Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus are de-energized. Inspect all parts for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Gather all required tools and supplies, and maintain a clean work area. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.
- Install the 600 Amp Elbow onto the Cable
Install the 600 amp elbow onto the cable according to the installation instructions supplied with the elbow. Ensure that the elbow is positioned such that it will align correctly with the stand-off plug or apparatus bushing.
- Clean and Lubricate Bushing Extender and Apparatus Bushing
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the apparatus bushing and both interfaces of the 600 amp bushing extender using the ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant. It is important that bushing extender interfaces are thoroughly lubricated to allow for proper removal of the link in the future.
- Install Bushing Extender and Retainer Contact
Install the bushing extender onto the apparatus bushing. Insert the 600ATM tool into the retainer contact and engage its internal hex broach. Insert the retainer contact into the bushing extender and thread it into the apparatus bushing using a suitable tool applied to the 1-inch hex portion of the 600ATM. Torque the assembly to 50-60 ft-lbs.
- Clean and Lubricate Elbow and Standoff Plug
Clean and lubricate the epoxy standoff plug and both interfaces of the 600 amp elbow with ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant. Ensure thorough lubrication of the elbow interfaces to allow for proper removal of the link.
- Install Elbow onto Standoff Plug
Install the elbow onto the epoxy standoff plug. Insert the 600AMT tool into the retainer contact and engage its internal hex broach. Insert the retainer contact into the 600 amp elbow through the hole in the compression lug and thread it into the epoxy standoff plug. Use a suitable tool applied to the 1-inch hex portion of the 600AMT and torque to 50-60 ft-lbs.
- Mount Alignment Bracket
Remove the bushing extender clamp and elbow clamp from the alignment bracket. Position the alignment bracket on the bushing extender to a dimension of 2.5 inches (63.5mm) from the grounding eye. Assemble the bushing extender clamp to the alignment bracket with the hardware supplied, torquing by alternating sides until the clamp tabs are flush with each other and tight on both sides.
- Position and Secure Elbow in Alignment Bracket
Position the elbow in the alignment bracket such that the elbow cuff is lined up evenly with the bushing extender cuff. Assemble the elbow clamp to the alignment bracket with the hardware supplied, torquing by alternating sides until the clamp tabs are flush with each other and tight on both sides. Ensure the elbow clamp notch faces the cable entrance of the elbow.
- Insert and Engage Link
Clean and lubricate both 600 ampere interfaces of the Link with ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant. Align the Link such that when inserted into the bushing extender and elbow, the Link is perpendicular to the switch faceplate. Insert the Link into the bushing extender and elbow, making sure both lever arms are on the inside of the alignment bracket legs. Engage the pivot pin into the slots in the alignment bracket legs. While pushing inward, move the lever arms downward by use of the hot stick eye, thus engaging the roller pin and moving the link inward. Continue moving lever arms until perpendicular to the alignment bracket leg.
- Grounding and Mating Product Installation
Ground the elbow by feeding a #14 AWG or #12 AWG solid copper wire through the grounding eye on the elbow, twisting it tight, and connecting it to ground. Clean and lubricate the 200 amp interface on the Link. Ground, then install the desired mating product on the 200 amp interface per its installation instructions. Ground the cable: if concentric neutral cable is used, twist the concentric neutral wires together and connect to ground; if 20MA or 21MA grounding devices are used, connect the ground lead to ground. For three-phase installations, all grounds from all three phases must be tied to a common ground point.
- Complete Installation and Refer to Operating Instructions
The installation of the LINK-C Deadbreak Cam Link Operable Connector System is now complete. For operation of the Link and any 200 ampere mating products, refer to their applicable operating instructions.
