How to Install K655/K675DLR Direct Test Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of K655/K675DLR Direct Test Elbow Connectors, including cable preparation, component assembly, and connection to high voltage apparatus.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Crimping Tool, Wire Brush (for aluminum conductors), Hotstick Tool (for testing port operations), Wire Strippers, Measuring Tape
Supplies needed:
K655/K675DLR Elbow, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug, Lubricant, Stud Prepack, Vinyl Plastic Tape (if applicable), Tape Retainer (if applicable), Tape Marker (if applicable), Ground Wire, Suitable Ground Connector
- Prepare the Cable for Installation
Position the cable so it is located in the final assembled position with enough slack to provide adequate clearance for removing the elbows. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the concentric neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from center line of the mating product. Clean the outer surface of the cable a distance of 24” (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires. DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting installation.
- Perform Cable Jacket and Shield Preparation
Refer to the specific instructions for your cable type (e.g., outer jacket, shield wires, flat metallic tape shield, fabric tape shield, longitudinally corrugated shield, UNISHIELD, lead sheath, or semi-con shield) to remove the outer jacket and shield to the specified dimensions. Install tape markers or retainers as required. Do not cut or nick the cable insulation. If using a 20MA/21MA grounding device or 600ECS Jacket Cable Seal, refer to their specific instructions.
- Install Cable Adapter and Prepare Conductor
Bevel the cable insulation end at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4” (6mm) back. Clean and lubricate the cable insulation, working toward the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until flush with the tape marker edge. Remove protruding cable insulation, cutting it even with the cable adapter end. Verify exposed conductor length is 4-3/8” (111mm) to 4-11/16” (119mm). Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or conductor.
- Crimp the Compression Lug
For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping (must be less than 6-1/2” (165mm)). Crimp the compression lug following its instructions. Wipe all excess inhibitor. Verify the distance from the lug end to the cable adapter is 6-1/2” to 7-1/4” (165mm – 184mm) after crimping.
- Install the 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. Ensure the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Remove the tape marker.
- Connect to Mating Product
Remove protective caps from the elbow and the mating part. If the mating part is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the threaded stud (supplied with the elbow) into it. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part. Push the elbow onto the mating part, aligning the compression lug hole with the stud. DANGER: Do NOT connect or disconnect mating products while energized. Do NOT energize while disconnected.
- Complete Opposite End Connection (if applicable)
If connecting the opposite end of the elbow, clean and lubricate the mating part. Insert the mating part into the elbow, engage threads, and hand tighten. Torque the mating part according to its specific instructions. If an insulating plug is used, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap and place it on the elbow, pushing down until it snaps into place.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a wire (at least No. 14 AWG copper) through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. Ensure the cable shield is grounded according to instructions supplied with any grounding device, or via an alternate method. Waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
- Perform Direct Voltage Test (Optional)
If performing a direct voltage test, use only the appropriate direct voltage test port adapter and meter (e.g., 200TC-1, 200TC-2, 200TC-4). Read and understand separate operating instructions for the test port adapter and meter. DANGER: Inserting any object other than the appropriate direct voltage test port adapter and meter into the direct test port or in close proximity can cause electric shock, resulting in serious or fatal injury.
