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 voltage testing of 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products, including proper lubrication and torque application. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench, Hotstick, Suitable sensing device (for capacitive test points)
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied with product, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Silicone lubricant, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if replacing shipping covers), Stud (if mating interface is not equipped)
- Prepare for Installation and Safety Checks
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. If the product is supplied with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) before submerging or energizing the circuit. Check package contents for completeness and ensure all components fit correctly with cables and/or mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare and Lubricate Components
Remove 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 and its mating part as indicated with the lubricant supplied. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants as they may be harmful. Ensure surfaces of the elbow and mating parts are clean.
- Connect the Plug or Well
Push the plug or well into the elbow or bushing extension and engage the threads.
- Torque Tighten the Connection
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, as this is not the actual torque applied in this case.
- 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 the cap snaps into place.
- Perform Voltage Test
WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment; follow the manufacturer’s directions for the specific meter used. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly in line. Test with a suitable sensing device, made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points, to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, dirt, or incorrect measuring equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication. To prevent serious or fatal injury, treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
