How to Install 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well products, including mating with elbows or bushing extensions and performing a voltage test.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench (for connector, tap, or tap well plugs), Hotstick, Suitable sensing device (for capacitive test points)
Supplies needed:
Plug or Well product, Lubricant (supplied, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Stud (if not included with mating interface), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (to replace shipping covers), Silicone lubricant (for test point cap), Elbow or Bushing Extension (mating part)
- Ensure Safety and Inspect Components
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect the plug, well, and mating parts for any damage, verify their rating, and ensure compatibility. If the product was supplied with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with the appropriate HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) before submerging or energizing the circuit.
- Prepare and Lubricate Plug/Well and Mating Part
Remove any protective caps from the plug or well product. If the 600amp mating interface is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into the 600amp interface on the plug or well. Lubricate both the elbow or bushing extension and its mating part as indicated, using *only* the lubricant supplied. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the products. Ensure all surfaces of the elbow and mating parts remain clean.
- Mate and Torque Tighten the Connection
Push the plug or well into the elbow or bushing extension and engage the threads. For an insulating plug, use a torque wrench and tighten, exerting 50 to 60 foot-pounds of torque. For a connector plug, tap plug, or tap well, use a torque wrench with an ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench; the indicated torque should be from 40 to 48 foot-pounds. (For K651 and 750 Rubber Connecting Plugs, refer to special instructions IS-0915).
- Install Voltage Detection Cap (if applicable)
If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place the cap on the elbow and push down hard until it snaps firmly into place.
- Perform Voltage Detection Test
The ELASTIMOLD deadbreak elbow connector is equipped with an integral capacitance test point. To test, remove the test point cap with a hotstick by peeling it off at an angle, rather than pulling directly in line. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is NOT directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device made for capacitive test points, following its manufacturer’s directions, to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, or incorrect equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious or fatal injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
