How to Install or Replace a K650SL Sacrificial Cap or K650SLGB Grounding Rod

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation or replacement of a K650SL sacrificial cap or a K650SLGB grounding rod, including de-energization and grounding procedures. Ensure all components are compatible and undamaged before starting.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Cutting or spiking tool, Hex Wrench

Supplies needed:

Sacrificial Cap, Lubricant, K650SLGB Grounding Rod, Hot line clamp (bar or ball type), 4/0 grounding cable, 14 AWG gage wire

  1. De-energize and Confirm Circuit Safety

    Before beginning any work, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Install a cutting or spiking tool on the sacrificial cap and cut or spike the cap on the line to confirm the circuit is de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

  2. Remove Old Sacrificial Cap

    Remove the ground wire from the cut or spiked cap. Rotate the cap counter-clockwise to remove it and discard the old cap.

  3. Install K650SLGB Grounding Rod (If Applicable)

    If installing a K650SLGB grounding rod, proceed with this step. Install the K650SLGB grounding rod and tighten it with the supplied hex wrench until the wrench twists (75/110 in/lbs torque). Then, attach either a bar or ball type hot line clamp with 4/0 grounding cable to the grounding rod, taking care not to loosen the bar when tightening. Attach the opposite end to the system ground. When repairs have been completed, remove the hot line clamp and grounding rod.

  4. Inspect and Prepare Sacrificial Male Interface

    Inspect the sacrificial male interface for any distortion as a result of high fault current. If the interface is distorted, the Buss Bar must be replaced. Clean the male interface and lubricate both the interface and the inside of the new cap with the supplied lubricant.

  5. Install New Sacrificial Cap (If Applicable)

    If installing a new sacrificial cap, rotate it clockwise 9 to 10 turns until it stops turning. No additional torque is required. Verify the gap between the cap and the shoulder of the splice is 1/8 inch or less around the entire cap.

  6. Attach Grounding Wire

    Attach a 14 AWG gage wire through the grounding eye of the new sacrificial cap and tighten it by twisting. Attach the other end directly to the system ground.
