How to Install the K151SP Straight Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing the cable, crimping the conductor, and installing the K151SP Straight Plug onto a cable and connecting it to a mating receptacle for 15kV and 25kV class systems. A bailing arrangement is required when used with any mating Elastimold deadbreak product.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire brush, Crimp tool, Rag, Approved solvent

Supplies needed:

Conductor Contact (female), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant (supplied with product), Collar, Silicone grease, ELASTIMOLD bail (required for mating), #14 AWG copper wire (customer supplied, if no grounding device)

  1. Prepare the Cable End

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Cut and remove the cable jacket a distance of 8 inches from the cable end for jacketed concentric neutral cables. For copper tape shield cables, 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. Allow sufficient concentric neutral wires for connecting to the ground point as required by the installation.

  2. Remove Insulation and Conductive Shield

    Remove 7/8 inch to 1 inch of cable insulation and conductive shield. For #1 stranded/compressed and #1/0 compressed/solid aluminum cable, remove 1-3/4 inches to 1-7/8 inches. Cut squarely, do not pencil. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately insert them into the crimp barrel which contains inhibitor.

  3. Crimp the 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 the crimps at the crimp line imprinted on the barrel and rotate each successive crimp or indent 90 degrees. Carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.

  4. Prepare Insulation and Clean

    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 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 to remove all traces of semi-conducting residue by wiping with a rag wet with an approved solvent, always wiping from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, install it following its specific instructions.

  5. Lubricate Cable and Housing

    Slide the collar, smaller end first, onto each cable. Reference the bailing instruction sheet. Keep the cable insulation and plug clean. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable as shown and to the inside of the housing. Do not substitute lubricants, as other types may be harmful to this product or its mating product.

  6. Install Cable into Plug Housing

    Push the cable into the plug housing. Ensure the leading edge of the socket contact is flush with the front edge of the plug. Remove the plastic pin from the socket and discard it.

  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. Pull out the nylon rod. Secure the electrical connection with the aid of an ELASTIMOLD bail, referencing the Bailing Instruction Sheet (150TB-4).

  8. Connect Grounding (If No Device Used)

    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. Then, 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.
