How to Install the LINK-C Deadbreak Cam Link Operable Connector System

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and setup of the LINK-C 600 amp deadbreak cam link operable connector system, including mounting, wiring, and grounding procedures.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Hot stick, Torque wrench, Socket wrench, Suitable tool for 1-inch hex, Wire strippers, Welding equipment (if applicable), 600ATM Operating Tool

Supplies needed:

ELASTIMOLD lubricant, Hex nuts (3/8-16), Lockwashers, Mounting hardware (for clamps), #14 AWG or #12 AWG solid copper wire, Appropriate grounding connector

  1. Safety First: De-energize Apparatus

    Before beginning any installation or removal, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Follow all individual user, local, and national work rules. Do not touch or move energized products. Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious or fatal injury.

  2. Prepare for Installation

    Inspect all package contents to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify all components for proper fit with the cable and/or mating products. Have all required tools readily available and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.

  3. Install the 600 Amp Elbow

    Install the 600 amp elbow onto the cable according to the specific installation instructions provided with the elbow. Ensure it is positioned to align correctly with the stand-off plug.

  4. Mount the Stand-Off Plug (If Applicable)

    If using a mounted stand-off plug, weld three 3/8-16 x 2-inch studs to the faceplate according to specified dimensions. Install three hex nuts onto the studs to support the stand-off plug, ensuring it aligns with the bushing. Place the stand-off plug over the studs, then secure it with lockwashers and hex nuts, tightening to 12 ft-lbs. Verify the top surfaces of the bushing and stand-off plug are in-line.

  5. Install Bushing Extender and Elbow

    Clean and thoroughly lubricate the apparatus bushing and both interfaces of the 600 amp bushing extender with ELASTIMOLD lubricant. Install the bushing extender onto the apparatus bushing. Insert the 600ATM into the retainer contact, engage the internal hex broach, and thread the retainer contact into the apparatus bushing, torquing to 50-60 ft-lbs. Repeat the cleaning, lubricating, and installation process for the 600 amp elbow onto the epoxy standoff plug, torquing to 50-60 ft-lbs.

  6. Install and Secure the Alignment Bracket

    Remove the bushing extender clamp and elbow clamp from the alignment bracket. Position the alignment bracket on the bushing extender 2.5 inches (63.5mm) from the grounding eye. Assemble the bushing extender clamp to the bracket with supplied hardware, torquing until the clamp tabs are flush and tight. Next, position the elbow in the alignment bracket so the elbow cuff aligns evenly with the bushing extender cuff. Assemble the elbow clamp to the bracket, torquing until tabs are flush and tight, ensuring the elbow clamp notch faces the cable entrance.

  7. Insert the Link Connector

    Clean and thoroughly lubricate both 600 ampere interfaces of the Link with ELASTIMOLD lubricant. Align the Link to be perpendicular to the switch faceplate when inserted. Insert the Link into the bushing extender and elbow, ensuring both lever arms are inside the alignment bracket legs. Engage the pivot pin into the slots of the alignment bracket legs. While pushing inward, use a hot stick to move the lever arms downward, engaging the roller pin and moving the Link inward until the lever arms are perpendicular to the alignment bracket leg.

  8. Ground the System and Install Mating Products

    Ground the elbow by feeding a #14 AWG or #12 AWG solid copper wire through its grounding eye, twisting it tight, and connecting it to ground. Clean and lubricate the 200 amp interface on the Link. Ground and then install the desired mating product onto the 200 amp interface according to its specific instructions. Finally, ground the cable: twist concentric neutral wires together and connect to ground, or connect the ground lead from 20MA/21MA devices to ground. For three-phase installations, tie all grounds from all three phases to a common ground point.
