How to Install the K151LSP Non-Separable Straight Plug

This guide provides detailed instructions for the safe and proper installation of the K151LSP Non-Separable Straight Plug, designed to connect solid dielectric type cables by mating with the K151LSR receptacle on 15kV or 25kV class systems.

Tools needed:

Wire brush, Crimping tool, Approved solvent, Rag

Supplies needed:

K151LSP Non-Separable Straight Plug, Conductor Contact (female), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant (supplied), Crimp Chart, Solid dielectric type cable, K151LSR mating receptacle, Silicone grease, #14AWG copper grounding wire (customer supplied, if needed)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety

    DANGER: De-energize all apparatus before installation or removal. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility. Ensure installation is performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or product damage. Check package contents for completeness and ensure proper fit with cable and mating products. Read all instructions before starting and have all required tools ready, maintaining cleanliness throughout.

  2. Prepare the Cable Jacket

    For Jacketed Concentric Neutral cable: Cut and remove the cable jacket 8 inches from the cable end. Ensure sufficient concentric neutral wires are available for connection to the ground point. For Copper Tape Shield cable: Cut and remove the cable jacket 7-1/2 inches from the cable end, then remove the copper tape shield 6-1/2 inches from the end of the cable. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific jacket cut-back instructions.

  3. Prepare Cable Insulation and Conductive Shield

    Remove 1-1/8 inches of cable insulation and conductive shield. For #1 stranded/compressed and #1/0 compressed/solid or larger aluminum cable, remove 1-7/8 inches. Cut squarely; do not pencil. Immediately wire brush bare aluminum conductors before inserting into the crimp barrel.

  4. Crimp the Socket Terminal

    Insert the bared conductor fully into the crimp barrel. Crimp the socket terminal, starting at the crimp line imprinted on the barrel and rotating each successive crimp or indent at least 90 degrees. If using aluminum cable, carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.

  5. Prepare the Semi-Conductive Shield and Insulation

    Temporarily remove the plastic pin. Remove the semi-conductive shield to a point 7-3/4 inches to 7-13/16 inches back from the end of the socket using a straight, smooth, 'squared' cut. DO NOT CUT OR NICK THE INSULATION. Pencil the insulation 1/8 inch. Replace the plastic pin. Thoroughly clean the outer jacket and insulation with an approved solvent, wiping from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket to remove all traces of semi-conducting residue. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, install it now following its instructions.

  6. Lubricate and Install Plug onto Cable

    Keep the cable insulation and plug clean. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable as shown in the diagram and to the inside of the housing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may harm the product. Push the cable into the housing until the leading edge of the socket contact is flush with the front edge of the plug. Remove and discard the plastic pin from the socket.

  7. Connect to Mating Receptacle

    Lubricate the nose of the plug with silicone grease. Place the nylon rod into the receptacle face until it bottoms (approximately 1-3/4 inches), taking care not to cut the rod. Insert the plug assembly into the receptacle as far as possible until you feel the contact assembly 'CLICK' and lock into its final position.

  8. Verify Connection and Finalize Grounding

    Verify the locking contact by pulling on the cables (DO NOT PULL THE HOUSING). If the parts separate, repeat steps 7B and 7C. Pull out the nylon rod. If an ELASTIMOLD grounding device is not being used, connect a customer-supplied length of #14AWG or equivalent copper wire through the grounding tab and twist tightly. Connect the grounding assembly of the connector to the system ground by merging it with the cable shield of each cable. Seal the grounding wires and connections to prevent corrosion.
