How to Install the K655DLR-M0380-S Direct Test Elbow Connector
Instructions for installing and connecting the K655DLR-M0380-S Direct Test Elbow Connector to a high voltage apparatus.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Hotstick tool, Crimping tool
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Lubricant, Vinyl plastic tape, Tape retainer, Tape marker, Grounding wire, Suitable connector for ground
- Prepare the Cable
Position the cable in its final location with enough slack. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from the center line of the mating product. Clean the outer surface of the cable for 24” (610mm). Follow specific instructions for removing outer jacket, shield wires, flat metallic tape shield, fabric tape shield, longitudinally corrugated shield, UNISHIELD cable, lead sheath cable, or semi-con shield as applicable to your cable type. Ensure all dimensions are followed precisely. For UNISHIELD or lead sheath cable, a 10TL cable shield adapter is required; refer to its specific instructions.
- Install the Cable Adapter
Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45° angle, approximately 1/4” (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the cable insulation, working towards the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the edge of the tape marker.
- Prepare the Conductor
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure the conductor is not nicked. The exposed conductor length should be between 4-3/8” (111mm) and 4-11/16” (119mm). If not, redo the assembly.
- Install 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 into the compression lug. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping; it must be less than 6-1/2” (165mm). Crimp the lug according to its instructions. Wipe excess inhibitor. The distance from the end of the compression lug to the cable adapter after crimping should be between 6-1/2” to 7-1/4” (165mm – 184mm).
- 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
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT MATING PRODUCTS WHILE ENERGIZED. Remove protective caps from the elbow and the mating part. If the mating part is not equipped with a stud, hand-tighten the supplied threaded stud 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. Clean and lubricate the mating part for the opposite end of the elbow, insert it, engage threads, and hand-tighten. Torque the mating part according to its specific instructions.
- Install Insulating Plug (If Applicable)
If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place the cap on the elbow and push down firmly until it snaps into place. Follow voltage test directions.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a wire (ampacity 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. The cable shield must be grounded according to the instructions of the grounding device used, or an alternate method if no device is used. It is recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
