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 mating with elbows or bushing extensions. Always ensure apparatus is de-energized before beginning.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD® 600SW spanner wrench, Hotstick, Suitable sensing device for capacitive test points
Supplies needed:
15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug or Well, Lubricant (supplied, DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Elbow or Bushing Extension (mating part), Stud (if not equipped on mating interface), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s), Voltage detection cap (if insulating plug is used), Silicone lubricant
- De-energize and Inspect Components
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Verify the package contents are complete and undamaged. Inspect all components for proper fit with the cable and/or mating products, and check for any damage or excessive distortion. If the product came with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before energizing the circuit.
- Prepare and Lubricate Components
Remove any protective caps from the plug or well product. If the 600 amp mating interface on the plug or well is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the supplied stud into the 600 amp interface. Lubricate both the elbow (or bushing extension) and its mating part using only the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful. Ensure all surfaces of the elbow and mating parts remain clean.
- Connect Plug/Well to Mating Part
Carefully push the plug or well into the elbow or bushing extension, ensuring the threads engage properly.
- Secure Connection with Torque Wrench
For an insulating plug, use a torque wrench and tighten the connection to 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 and tighten to an indicated torque of 40 to 48 foot-pounds. (Note: For K651 and 750 Rubber Connecting Plugs, refer to special instructions IS-0915, which are not included here).
- Install Voltage Detection Cap
If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place the cap onto the elbow and push down hard until it snaps into place. Proceed to the voltage test directions.
- Perform Voltage Test
The ELASTIMOLD® deadbreak elbow connector features an integral capacitance test point to determine if the circuit is energized. First, remove the test point cap using 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. Use a suitable sensing device designed for separable connectors with capacitive test points, following the manufacturer’s directions for the meter. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means, as contamination, moisture, dirt, or incorrect equipment can cause false readings. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
