How to Install the 151SR/K151SR Straight Receptacle

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 151SR/K151SR Straight Receptacle, including cable preparation, conductor contact crimping, and mating with other Elastimold products. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable cutting tool, Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimping tool, Rag, Approved solvent

Supplies needed:

Elastimold 151SR/K151SR Straight Receptacle, Conductor Contact (male), Nylon Venting Rod, Lubricant, Crimp Chart, Cable, Elastimold bail, Mating plug, Copper wire (#14 AWG or equivalent), Elastimold Insulating Plug (K150DP, optional)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Safety Checks

    De-energize all apparatus before beginning installation or removal of parts. Inspect the package contents to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and mating products. Gather all required tools and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.

  2. Prepare Jacketed Concentric Neutral Cable

    If using jacketed concentric neutral cable, cut and remove the cable jacket a distance of 8 inches from the cable end. Ensure sufficient concentric neutral wires are allowed for connecting to the ground point as required by the installation.

  3. Prepare Copper Tape Shield Cable

    If using copper tape shield cable, cut and remove the cable jacket a distance of 7 1/2 inches from the cable end. Remove the copper tape shield a distance of 6 1/2 inches from the end of the cable. (Note: If using an ECS or MA grounding device, follow its specific instructions for outer jacket cut back.)

  4. Prepare Cable Insulation and Conductor

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

  5. Crimp Conductor Contact

    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 crimp 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.

  6. Prepare Semi-Conductive Shield and Clean Insulation

    Remove the semi-conductive shield to a point 7 9/16 to 7 5/8 inches back from the end of the pin with a straight, smooth, 'squared' cut. Do not 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.

  7. Lubricate Receptacle and Cable

    Remove the protective cap from the straight receptacle. Keep the cable insulation and receptacle clean. Apply the supplied lubricant sparingly to the cable as shown in the documentation and to the inside of the housing. Do not substitute other lubricants, as they may be harmful to this product or its mating product.

  8. Insert Cable into Receptacle

    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. Note that the shipping cover offers protection from dirt only and is not an insulating device; if an insulating device is required, obtain an Elastimold insulating plug (K150DP).

  9. Connect to 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 to ensure the nylon rod is not cut while mating parts. 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; a bailing arrangement is required when this product is used with any mating Elastimold deadbreak product.

  10. 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.
