How to Install the K655ETP-L0330 Insulated Cap with Ground Lead

This guide provides instructions for the safe and proper installation of the 160DRG and 167DRG Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, designed for insulating, shielding, and watersealing 15kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant

  1. Perform Pre-Installation Checks

    Check package contents to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products. Ensure all required tools are at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts, except for test point caps and indicators that can be installed and operated energized. Inspect parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

  2. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground, leaving enough slack for hot-stick operation of the insulated cap. CAUTION: The electrostatic grounding wire should be trained so as not to contact the bushing interface during operation. WARNING: If the ground lead disconnects during operation, do not attempt to reattach without first pulling the insulated cap off the bushing with the hotstick.

  3. Prepare the Insulated Cap

    Remove the protective cover from the insulated cap. Lubricate the cap’s internal mating surface using only the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE, as other lubricants may be harmful to this product and its mating products. Keep the internal mating surface free from dirt and grime. Always replace the protective cover when not in use.

  4. Install the Insulated Cap

    Firmly attach a hotstick to the insulated cap pulling eye. Insert the male contact of the insulated cap into the loadbreak bushing, and push home with a fast, firm, straight motion. Make certain it is fully mated, with the locking ring seated. Detach the hotstick from the insulated cap.
