How to Install the 151SR/K151SR Straight Receptacle for High Voltage Cable Connections

This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the 151SR/K151SR Straight Receptacle, designed to connect solid dielectric type cables to other Elastimold products. It covers cable preparation, crimping, lubrication, and final connection procedures for 15kV and 25kV class systems. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wire brush, Crimp tool, Rag, Approved solvent

Supplies needed:

151SR/K151SR Straight Receptacle, Conductor Contact (male), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant (supplied), Crimp Chart, Solid dielectric type cable, Silicone grease, Elastimold bail, #14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent), Elastimold insulating plug (K150DP) (optional), Elastimold grounding device (optional)

  1. Prepare the Cable Jacket

    For jacketed concentric neutral cable, cut and remove the cable jacket 8 inches from the cable end, allowing 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 end of the cable. When using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific jacket cut-back instructions.

  2. Prepare the Conductor Insulation and Shield

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

  3. Crimp the Socket Terminal

    Crimp the socket terminal onto the bared conductor, ensuring the conductor remains fully seated in the connector. 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. If using aluminum cable, carefully wipe any excess inhibitor from the contact and cable insulation.

  4. Prepare the Semi-Conductive Shield and Insulation

    Remove the semi-conductive shield to a point 7 9/16 inches to 7 5/8 inches back from the end of the pin with a straight, smooth, squared cut, ensuring not to cut or nick the insulation. 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 appropriate instructions.

  5. Lubricate the Cable and Receptacle

    Remove the protective cap from the straight receptacle. Maintain cleanliness of both the cable insulation and the receptacle. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable as indicated and to the inside of the housing. Do not substitute other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the product or its mating components.

  6. Insert Cable into Receptacle Housing

    Push the cable into the housing until the base of the pin chamfer is flush with the inside face of the receptacle. If the receptacle is not to be immediately connected, replace the protective cover (which offers protection from dirt only). If an insulating device is required, obtain an Elastimold insulating plug (K150DP).

  7. Connect to a Mating Plug

    Lubricate the nose of the mating 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.

  8. Ground the Cable

    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.
