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

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 600 amp LINK-C Deadbreak Cam Link Operable Connector System, designed for fully shielded, submersible hot stick operable connections and 200 amp taps for 15kV and 25kV systems.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Hot stick, 600ATM Operating Tool, Torque wrench, Socket wrench (with 1 inch hex socket), Wire strippers, Welding equipment (if studs are not pre-existing)

Supplies needed:

ELASTIMOLD supplied lubricant, 3/8-16 x 2 inch studs (if welding), 3/8-16 Hex nuts, Lockwashers, #14 AWG or #12 AWG solid copper wire, Grounding connectors, Spacers (optional)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Install 600 Amp Elbow

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts to prevent serious or fatal injury. Install the 600 amp elbow onto the cable according to its specific installation instructions, ensuring it will align correctly with the stand-off plug.

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

    Weld three 3/8-16 x 2” studs to the equipment faceplate according to specified dimensions. Install three hex nuts onto the studs to support the stand-off plug, or use spacers. Position the stand-off plug over the studs, resting it on the nuts or spacers. Secure the stand-off plug by installing a lockwasher and hex nut on each stud, then tighten to 12 ft-lbs torque. Verify that the top surfaces of the apparatus bushing and stand-off plug are in-line, adjusting nuts as needed.

  3. 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 using a 1” hex tool, torquing to 50-60 ft-lbs. Similarly, 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 its retainer contact, and thread it into the stand-off plug, torquing to 50-60 ft-lbs.

  4. Install 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 and tight. Align the elbow cuff evenly with the bushing extender cuff within the bracket. Assemble the elbow clamp to the alignment bracket, torquing by alternating sides until the clamp tabs are flush and tight, ensuring the elbow clamp notch faces the cable entrance.

  5. Install the Link Connector

    Clean and thoroughly lubricate both 600 amp 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. Using a hot stick, push inward and move the lever arms downward to engage the roller pin, moving the Link inward until the lever arms are perpendicular to the alignment bracket leg.

  6. Ground the System

    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, then ground and install any desired mating product according to its instructions. Ground the cable by twisting concentric neutral wires together and connecting to ground, or by connecting the ground lead from 20MA/21MA grounding devices to ground. For three-phase installations, tie all grounds from all three phases to a common ground point.
