How to Install the K650BIPS (LINK-C) Deadbreak Cam Link Operable Connector System
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the 600 amp K650BIPS (LINK-C) Deadbreak Cam Link Operable Connector System. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation and follow all local and national work rules.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Suitable tool for 1 inch hex (e.g., socket wrench), Torque wrench, Hot stick, 600ATM Operating Tool
Supplies needed:
ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant, 3/8-16 x 2 inch long studs (if not pre-welded), Hex nuts, Lockwashers, Spacers (optional), No. 14 AWG or No. 12 AWG solid copper wire, Appropriate grounding connector
- Install the 600 Amp Elbow
Install the 600 amp elbow onto the cable according to the installation instructions supplied with the elbow. Ensure that the elbow will align correctly with the stand-off plug.
- 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 following customer standard practice and 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, resting on the nuts or optional spacers. Secure with three lockwashers and hex nuts, tightening each to 12 foot-lbs torque. Verify that the top surfaces of the apparatus bushing and stand-off plug are in-line.
- Install Bushing Extender and Elbow onto Stand-Off Plug
Clean and thoroughly lubricate the apparatus bushing and both interfaces of the 600 amp bushing extender with ELASTIMOLD supplied 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 using a suitable tool on the 1 inch hex portion of the 600ATM, torquing to 50-60 ft-lbs. Next, clean and lubricate the epoxy stand-off plug and both interfaces of the 600 amp elbow. Install the elbow onto the epoxy stand-off plug. Insert the 600AMT into the retainer contact, engage the internal hex broach, and thread the retainer contact into the epoxy stand-off plug through the hole in the compression lug using a suitable tool on the 1 inch hex portion of the 600AMT, torquing to 50-60 ft-lbs.
- Install 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 alignment bracket with the supplied hardware, torquing by alternating sides until the clamp tabs are flush with each other and tight on both sides. Position the elbow in the alignment bracket such that the elbow cuff is lined up evenly with the bushing extender cuff. Assemble the elbow clamp to the alignment bracket with the supplied hardware, torquing by alternating sides until the clamp tabs are flush with each other and tight on both sides. Ensure the elbow clamp notch faces the cable entrance of the elbow.
- Insert and Engage the Link
Clean and thoroughly lubricate both 600 ampere interfaces of the Link with ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant. Align the Link such that when inserted into the bushing extender and elbow, the Link is perpendicular to the switch faceplate. Insert the Link into the bushing extender and elbow, making sure both lever arms are on the inside of the alignment bracket legs. Engage the pivot pin into the slots in the alignment bracket legs. While pushing inward, move the lever arms downward by use of a hot stick eye, thus engaging the roller pin and moving the Link inward. Continue moving lever arms until they are perpendicular to the alignment bracket leg.
- Perform Grounding and Final Connections
Ground the elbow by feeding a #14 AWG or #12 AWG solid copper wire through the grounding eye on the elbow, twisting it tight, and connecting it to ground. Clean and lubricate the 200 amp interface on the Link. Ground, then install the desired mating product on the 200 amp interface per its specific installation instructions. Ground the cable: if concentric neutral cable is used, twist the concentric neutral wires together and connect to ground using an appropriate connector; if 20MA or 21MA grounding devices are used, connect the ground lead from the device to ground using a suitable connector. For three-phase installations, all grounds from all three phases must be tied to a common ground point.
