How to Install the K151SP Straight Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing the cable and installing the K151SP Straight Plug, designed for connecting solid dielectric type cables on 15kV and 25kV class systems. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Cable cutting tool, Cable stripping tool, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Rag

Supplies needed:

K151SP Straight Plug, Lubricant (supplied), Approved solvent, Silicone grease, ELASTIMOLD bail, #14 AWG copper wire (customer supplied, if needed)

  1. Prepare 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 left 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 end of the cable. If using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific instructions for outer jacket cut back.

  2. Prepare Cable Insulation and Conductor

    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 the cut. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately insert them into the crimp barrel, which contains inhibitor.

  3. 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 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 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 with a straight, smooth, squared cut. Do not 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 to remove all traces of semi-conducting residue, 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. Refer to 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 others may be harmful to the product.

  6. Install Plug onto Cable

    Push the cable into the housing until 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), ensuring the rod is not cut. Insert the plug assembly into the receptacle as far as possible. Pull out the nylon rod. Secure the electrical connection with an ELASTIMOLD bail, referencing the Bailing Instruction Sheet (150TB-4).

  8. 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 this 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.
