How to Install a K650-J3 Series Deadbreak Junction with Universal Mount
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing 15/25/35kV, 600/900 Ampere K650-J3 series deadbreak junctions using the universal mounting method.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Drill, Wrench set, Measuring tape, Marking tool, Wire strippers, Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
Deadbreak Junction (K650-J3 or similar), Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets (4), 3/8" Hex Head Cap Screws, External Tooth Lock Washers, 3/8" Hex Nuts, 1/2" Hex Head Cap Screws, 1/2" Split Lock Washers, 1/2" Hex Nuts, Suitable mounting fasteners (user supplied), Grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant, Insulated caps (for unused interfaces)
- Review Safety Precautions and De-energize
WARNING: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Failure to follow instructions will result in damage and serious injury. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before proceeding with installation.
- Determine Mounting Location and Mark
Select the desired location for the junction assembly on a flat surface. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the surface, and mark the four slot locations for mounting.
- Attach Initial Universal Brackets
Secure two (2) universal brackets to the marked surface using suitable fasteners (not supplied). Tighten these fasteners securely to prevent any movement during operation.
- Attach Remaining Universal Brackets
Attach the remaining two (2) universal brackets to the two brackets already mounted on the surface. Position them at the desired angle using the supplied 3/8” hex head cap screws, external tooth lock washers, and 3/8” hex nuts. Tighten securely.
- Assemble Junction to Base Bracket and Plate
Assemble the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two (2) 1/2” hex head cap screws, two (2) 1/2” split lock washers, and two (2) 1/2” hex nuts, attaching them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten securely.
- Mount Junction Assembly to Universal Brackets
Attach the complete deadbreak junction assembly (with base bracket and plate) to the universal brackets. Use the supplied 1/2” hex head cap screws, 1/2” split lock washers, and 1/2” hex nuts. Tighten securely, ensuring the parking stand is in the upright position.
- Ground the Assembly
Connect a grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded) to the grounding lug provided on the base bracket. Ensure the base bracket assembly and the junction’s black conductive jacket are properly grounded.
- Prepare Operating Interfaces
Remove all protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces. Clean each operating interface thoroughly. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant. Do not substitute with other lubricants. If any operating interfaces are not utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on these unused bushings before energization. Do not use protective shipping caps for this purpose.
