How to Install the 600/900 Series Deadbreak Connecting Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of the 600/900 series deadbreak connecting plug, an accessory for power distribution systems. It covers stud installation, lubrication, connection, and grounding.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

600ATM, 3/8” hex bit socket, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

Connecting Plug, Lubricant (supplied with connecting plug), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent

  1. Prepare Mating Plug Device with Stud

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. If the mating plug device is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into the mating plug device. Thread the stud until the start of the flats are below the contact surface.

  2. Clean and Lubricate Connecting Plug and Mating Part

    Clean both the connecting plug and its mating part as indicated in the product documentation. Lubricate both parts, including the stud, using only the lubricant supplied with the connecting plug. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the products. Be sure to keep surfaces of the connecting plug and mating parts clean.

  3. Connect and Torque the Connecting Plug

    Push the connecting plug firmly into the elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher, or elbow end module, and engage the threads. Hold the contact of the connecting plug against the contact surface of the mating part. Using a 600ATM or a 3/8” hex bit socket with a torque wrench, tighten the connection to 50 to 60 foot-pounds (68 to 81 newton-meters) of torque.

  4. Ground the Connecting Plug (If Applicable)

    If applicable, insert one end of a No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the connecting plug. Twist the wire tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect the other end of the wire securely to ground.
