How to Install a Deadbreak Junction with Universal Mount
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing a 15/25/35kV deadbreak junction using the universal mounting method, including marking, assembly, and grounding procedures. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Wrench set, Drill, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
Deadbreak Junction (K650-J3-6 or similar), Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets (4), Mounting Hardware Prepack (includes various screws, washers, nuts), Suitable fasteners (for mounting brackets to surface), Grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), HV insulated caps or connectors (if needed)
- Determine Location and Mark Mounting Slots
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation. Determine the desired location for the junction assembly. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the mounting surface, and accurately mark all slot locations for drilling or fastener placement.
- Attach Initial Universal Brackets to Surface
Attach two (2) universal brackets to the marked flat surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten these fasteners securely to prevent any movement of the brackets during operation. Ensure they are firmly fixed.
- Connect 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 hardware supplied in the mounting prepack (3/8” hex head cap screw, external tooth lock washer, 3/8” hex nut). Tighten all connections securely.
- Assemble Junction to Base Bracket and Base Plate
Assemble the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and the 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. Attach these to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly and tighten securely.
- Mount Junction Assembly to Universal Brackets
Attach the fully assembled deadbreak junction, base bracket, and base plate assembly to the universal brackets that are already mounted on the surface. Use the supplied hardware (1/2” hex head cap screw, 1/2” split lock washer, 1/2” hex nut). Tighten all fasteners securely. Verify that the parking stand is in the upright position.
- 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. Ensure a secure and reliable ground connection.
- Install Insulated Caps (If Applicable)
If not all operating interfaces of the junction are utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps on the unused bushing(s) before energizing the circuit. Do not use protective shipping caps for this purpose as they are not insulated.
