How to Install the K655SR/M655SR Deadbreak Straight Receptacle
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the K655SR and M655SR deadbreak straight receptacles, connecting an in-line cable to a standard ANSI-386 600 amp bushing.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
5/8-11 tap, Torque wrench, 15/16 socket, Hex wrench, Wire strippers, Utility knife or cable stripping tool, Measuring tape or ruler, Wire brush (for aluminum cable), Crimping tool (for crimp connector), Suitable connector crimping tool (for neutral/ground wires), Hose clamp tightening tool (for 35kV only)
Supplies needed:
Receptacle housing, Bushing adapter, Cable adapter, Aluminum holding collar, Hex head bolt, Crimp connector, Belleville washer, Flat washer, Nylon venting rod, Lubricants (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), Brass bolt (5/8"), Bushing converter contact, Loctite (for brass bolt threads), Tape marker, No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent), Suitable connector (for neutral/ground wires), Hose clamp (M655SR for 35kV only)
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Inspect all parts for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Check package contents for completeness and ensure all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products. If a stud is present in the apparatus bushing, remove it and re-tap the hole using a 5/8-11 tap.
- Assemble Bushing Converter and Contact Adapter
Clean and lubricate the apparatus bushing and bushing converter interface. Assemble the bushing converter onto the apparatus bushing. Apply 3-4 drops of Loctite to the threads of the 5/8” brass bolt. Assemble the contact adapter to the apparatus bushing, ensuring the bolt hole faces out, using the 5/8” brass bolt. Torque the brass bolt to 60 ft.-lbs.
- Prepare Cable and Slide Receptacle Housing
Train the cable end and straighten it into its final position, then cut the cable squarely to ensure maximum length for crimp growth. If applicable, unwrap the concentric neutral wires 30” (76cm), bend them back, and fold them out of the way without cutting. Wipe the outer jacket clean for a distance of 38” (96.5cm) or up to the concentric neutral wires. Slide the receptacle housing onto the cable a distance of 30” (76cm).
- Prepare Cable Insulation and Install Cable Adapter
Remove the semi-con shield and install a tape marker to the specified dimensions (10-1/4” from insulation end, 11-1/4” from semi-con shield end). Do not cut or nick the cable insulation. Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45˚ 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.
- Expose Conductor and Install Holding Collar
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. Verify the exposed conductor length is 4 3/4” – 5” (12.06cm – 12.7cm). If not, redo the assembly from Step 4. Position the holding collar over the conductor and flush against the cable adapter. Using the supplied hex wrench, tighten the setscrew on the holding collar.
- Prepare and Crimp Connector
Remove the protective cap from the crimp connector. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the conductor and immediately insert it fully into the crimp connector (which contains inhibitor). Measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar. If it is over 7” (17.8cm), do not proceed and redo all previous work from Step 4. Confirm that the components are oriented in the correct order: Receptacle Housing, Cable Adapter, Crimp Connector, Contact Adapter. Crucially, confirm the bolt hole in the crimp connector is aligned with the bolt hole in the contact adapter. Crimp the connectors according to their specific instructions, rotating each crimp 90˚. After crimping, re-measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar. If it is over 7” (17.8cm), do not proceed and redo all previous work from Step 4.
- Assemble Washers and Bolt
Assemble the washers and hex-head bolt in the following order: Flat washer against the spade contact, Belleville washer (concave side down), then the hex-head bolt. Hand tighten the bolt. Using a torque wrench with a 15/16 socket, tighten the bolt to 50-60 ft.-lbs. IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to move or reposition any part of the assembly after the bolts are tightened.
- Lubricate and Seat Receptacle Housing
Generously apply the supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant to the outside of the cable adapter and the area of the bushing adapter. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful. Slide the receptacle housing over the cable adapter and up to the edge of the interface. Insert the supplied nylon venting rod. Slide the receptacle housing onto the bushing converter until it is fully seated. Remove the venting rod.
- Ground Receptacle and Connect Neutrals
Connect a short piece of No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the grounding eye of the receptacle housing. Form a small loop and twist tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Gather together the concentric neutral wires. Using a suitable connector, connect the neutral wires and the grounding wire together.
- Install Hose Clamp (35kV ONLY)
Note: This step applies only to 35kV installations (M655SR). Position the hose clamp between the locator bumps on the receptacle housing. Tighten the clamp until an audible click is heard.
