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 connection of 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well products with mating elbow or bushing extensions, including voltage testing procedures.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench, Hotstick, Suitable sensing device for capacitive test points
Supplies needed:
Plug or Well product, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Elbow or bushing extension (mating part), Stud (if mating interface not equipped), Insulating plug (if applicable), Voltage detection cap, Silicone lubricant
- De-energize and Inspect Apparatus
Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of any parts. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating components. If the product is supplied with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit.
- Prepare and Lubricate Components
Remove protective caps from the plug or well product. If the 600 amp mating interface is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into the 600 amp interface on the plug or well. Lubricate both the elbow and its mating part as indicated with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the products. Ensure to keep surfaces of the elbow and mating parts clean.
- Connect Plug/Well to Mating Part
Push the plug or well into the elbow or bushing extension until the threads engage securely.
- Torque the Connection
Use a torque wrench to tighten the connection. For an insulating plug, apply 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, applying an indicated torque of 40 to 48 foot-pounds. Refer to special instructions IS-0915 for K651 and 750 rubber connecting plugs.
- 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 firmly until it snaps into place.
- Perform Voltage Test
Use the integral capacitance test point on the ELASTIMOLD deadbreak elbow connector to establish whether or not the circuit is energized. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, 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. Test with a suitable sensing device made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points, following the manufacturer’s directions for the meter. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious or fatal injury. After voltage detection, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
