How to Install the K151SP Straight Plug
This guide details the installation of the K151SP Straight Plug, designed for connecting solid dielectric type cables in 15kV and 25kV class systems, including cable preparation, crimping, and connection to a mating receptacle.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Cable cutting tool, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Rag, Measuring tape or ruler
Supplies needed:
K151SP Straight Plug, Conductor contact (female), Nylon venting rod, Lubricant (supplied), Silicone grease, Approved solvent, Elastimold bail, 14 AWG copper wire (customer supplied), Sealing material, Solid dielectric type cable
- De-energize and Inspect Components
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation or removal of parts to prevent serious or fatal injury. Inspect all K151SP components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare Cable Jacket and Shield
For Jacketed Concentric Neutral cable, cut and remove the cable jacket 8 inches from the cable end, ensuring sufficient concentric neutral wires for grounding. 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 cable end. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific jacket cut-back instructions.
- Remove Insulation and Conductive Shield
Remove 7/8 to 1 inch of cable insulation and conductive shield. For #1 stranded/compressed and #1/0 compressed/solid aluminum cable, remove 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 inches. Cut squarely; do not pencil the cut. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately and insert them into the crimp barrel, which contains inhibitor.
- Crimp Socket Terminal
Crimp the socket terminal onto the bared conductor, holding the crimp barrel against the cable insulation. Refer to the crimp chart provided with the contact. Start crimps at the imprinted crimp line and rotate each successive crimp or indent 90 degrees. Carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.
- Prepare Semi-conductive Shield and Clean Insulation
Temporarily remove the plastic pin. Remove the semi-conductive shield 7-3/4 to 7-13/16 inches back from the end of the socket with a straight, smooth, squared cut, ensuring not to cut or nick the insulation. Replace the plastic pin. Pencil the insulation 1/8 inch. Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the insulation with an approved solvent, wiping from the cable end toward the outer jacket to remove all semi-conducting residue. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, install it now.
- Lubricate Cable and Position Collar
Slide the collar, smaller end first, onto each cable. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable as shown in the instructions and to the inside of the housing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may harm the product or its mating product. Keep the cable insulation and plug clean.
- Install Cable into Plug Housing
Push the cable into the housing until the leading edge of the socket contact is flush with the front edge of the plug. Once the cable is fully inserted, remove the plastic pin from the socket and discard it.
- Connect Plug 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. Pull out the nylon rod. Secure the electrical connection using an ELASTIMOLD bail; reference the Bailing Instruction Sheet (150TB-4).
- Connect Grounding
If an ELASTIMOLD grounding device is not being used, connect a length of #14 AWG (or equivalent) copper wire (customer supplied) 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.
