How to Install K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors, designed for fully shielded, fully submersible deadfront cable connections to high voltage apparatus on 15kV and 25kV class systems.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Cable cutter, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Crimping tool, Torque wrench, Hotstick, Voltage sensing device, Knife or insulation removal tool
Supplies needed:
K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connector, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug (if applicable), Lubricant (silicone), Threaded Stud (if mating part not equipped), No. 14 AWG Copper wire (or equivalent), Grounding connector, Mating product (e.g., apparatus bushing, tap plug)
- Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all package contents and components for completeness, damage, and proper fit with the cable and mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices.
- Prepare the Cable
Assemble the cable in its final position with enough slack for elbow removal. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4 inches (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product. Clean the outer surface of the cable for 24 inches (610mm) or up to the bent back neutral wires. Remove the outer jacket (if applicable) and prepare the cable shield and insulation according to the specific cable type, referring to any additional instructions for grounding devices or shield adapters if used. Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) back.
- Install the Cable Adapter
Thoroughly clean and then 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 Conductor and Install Compression Lug
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter, ensuring not to cut or nick the adapter or conductor. The exposed conductor length should be between 4-1/4 inches and 4-9/16 inches (108mm-116mm). For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor immediately before fully inserting it. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping (should be less than 6-3/8 inches). Crimp the lug following its supplied instructions. Wipe off any excess inhibitor. The distance from the lug end to the cable adapter after crimping should be between 6-3/8 inches and 7-1/8 inches (162mm-181mm).
- Install the Elbow onto the Cable Adapter
Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow's cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until it cannot advance further. Verify the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Remove the tape marker.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Product
DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized, and do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from both 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 the mating part. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, ensuring surfaces remain clean. Push the elbow onto the mating part, aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part.
- Connect Opposite Mating Product (if applicable)
If connecting another mating product to the opposite end of the elbow, clean and lubricate its mating surface. Insert the mating part into the elbow, engage the 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.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a No. 14 AWG Copper wire (or equivalent ampacity) through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded; follow instructions for any grounding device used, or use an alternate method if no device is present. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
- Perform Voltage Test
The elbow connector has an integral capacitance test point. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: This is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination or incorrect equipment can give false readings. Treat the elbow as energized until a 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
