How to Install K655/K656CCP Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
Install K655/K656CCP Deadbreak Elbow Connectors, providing fully shielded, submersible deadfront cable connections for 15kV or 25kV class systems. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized and follow safety protocols for high voltage equipment.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wire brush, 600 ATM assembly tool, Hotstick, Crimping tool, Capacitive voltage sensing device
Supplies needed:
K655/K656CCP Deadbreak Elbow Connector Kit, Vinyl plastic tape, Tape retainer, Tape marker, Grounding wire (min. No. 14 AWG Copper equivalent), Suitable grounding connector, Silicone grease, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s), DR(G), GLR, or LR mating connector
- De-energize and Position Cable
WARNING: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Position the cable in its final assembled position with enough slack to provide adequate clearance for removing the elbows. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.
- Clean Cable and Prepare Outer Jacket
Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24” (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires. Remove the outer jacket to a dimension of 12 3/4” (324mm) as indicated for your specific cable type.
- Prepare Cable Shield
Prepare the cable shield based on its type: fold back shield wires, remove and tape flat metallic tape, remove and install tape retainer/marker for fabric tape, remove and install tape marker for longitudinally corrugated shield, or remove semi-con shield and install tape marker. Do not cut or nick cable insulation. Refer to 10TL instructions for UNISHIELD* or lead sheath cable if applicable.
- Bevel Insulation and Install Cable Adapter
Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4” (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and then lubricate the cable insulation, always working toward the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the edge of the tape marker.
- Prepare Conductor and Crimp Lug
Remove protruding cable insulation even with the end of the cable adapter, ensuring not to cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. Verify the exposed conductor length is 4 3/8”–4 11/16” (111mm–119mm); if not, redo the assembly. For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it. Verify the 'Check Dimension' before crimping is less than 6 1/2” (165mm). Crimp the compression lug following the supplied instructions. Wipe all excess inhibitor from the compression lug and cable adapter surface after crimping. Verify the distance from the end of the compression lug to the cable adapter is 6 1/2”–7 1/4” (165mm–184mm) after crimping; if not, redo the assembly.
- Install Elbow
Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until it cannot advance further. Make sure the cable adapter is still flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Remove the tape marker.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Product
DANGER: DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT MATING PRODUCTS WHILE ENERGIZED. DO NOT ENERGIZE WHILE DISCONNECTED. Remove protective caps from the elbow and the mating part. Install the stud into the mating part. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, keeping surfaces clean. Push the elbow onto the mating part. Using the 600 ATM assembly tool, thread the connector into the mating part until it bottoms. Apply 50 to 60 foot-pounds torque.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a piece of wire with ampacity at least equivalent to No. 14 AWG Copper through the grounding eye and twist to make a small loop, avoiding damage to the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. Ensure the cable shield is grounded according to the instructions supplied with the grounding device, or through an alternate method if no grounding device is used. Waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture from entering the cable.
- Install Mating Connector (Optional)
If applicable, clean and lubricate the entire male interface and either a DR(G), GLR, or LR of the appropriate voltage class with the supplied or ELASTIMOLDr approved lubricant. Install the DR(G), GLR, or LR to the bushing interface following their respective supplied instructions.
- Perform Voltage Test (K656CCP Only)
For K656CCP only, remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device; do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device made for capacitive test points and follow its manufacturer’s directions. Treat the elbow as energized until a 'no voltage' 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 grease and replace it on the test point.
