How to Install a Deadbreak Junction (Universal Mount)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for mounting and grounding 15/25/35kV, 600/900 Ampere deadbreak junctions using the universal mount method, including initial setup and critical safety precautions.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench, Wire Strippers, Measuring Tape, Marker, Screwdriver or Drill

Supplies needed:

Deadbreak Junction (15/25/35kV, 600/900 Ampere), Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets (4), Mounting Hardware Prepack (includes various screws, washers, nuts), Suitable Fasteners (for attaching brackets to mounting surface, user supplied), Grounding Wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), ELASTIMOLD Approved Lubricant, HV Insulated Caps (for unused interfaces)

  1. Ensure Safety and Inspect Parts

    Before beginning installation, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Failure to follow safety instructions can result in serious injury or death. Inspect all parts for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts.

  2. Mark Mounting Locations

    Determine the desired location for the junction assembly on a flat surface. Use the base plate as a template to mark the slot locations on the mounting surface.

  3. Attach First Universal Brackets

    Attach two universal brackets to the marked slot locations on the flat surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten them securely to prevent any movement during operation.

  4. Attach Remaining Universal Brackets

    Attach the remaining two universal brackets to the two brackets already mounted on the surface at the desired angle using the supplied 3/8” hex head cap screws, external tooth lock washers, and 3/8” hex nuts. Tighten securely.

  5. Assemble Junction to Base

    Assemble the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two 1/2” hex head cap screws, two 1/2” split lock washers, and two 1/2” hex nuts, attaching them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten securely.

  6. Mount Junction Assembly

    Attach the assembled deadbreak junction to the universal brackets using the supplied 1/2” hex head cap screws, 1/2” split lock washers, and 1/2” hex nuts. Ensure the parking stand is in the upright position and tighten all hardware securely.

  7. Ground the Assembly

    The base bracket assembly and the junction’s black conductive jacket must be properly grounded. Connect a grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded) to the grounding lug provided on the base bracket.

  8. Prepare Interfaces for Operation

    Remove all protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces and clean them. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant; do not substitute. If any operating interfaces are not utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on the unused bushings before energization. Do not use shipping caps for this purpose as they are not insulated.
