How to Install 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides detailed instructions for the safe installation, wiring, and initial setup of 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors, designed for 15kV and 25kV class systems.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Knife or utility blade, Measuring tape or ruler, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Crimping tool, Torque wrench, Hotstick, Suitable voltage sensing device
Supplies needed:
655/675LR or K655/K675LR Elbow Connector, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug (if used as mating part), Lubricant (silicone type recommended), Threaded Stud (if mating part not equipped), Grounding wire (at least No. 14 AWG Copper equivalent), Suitable connector for grounding wire, Waterproofing material for cable jacket, Tape marker
- De-energize Apparatus and Position Cable
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. 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 and Prepare Cable
Clean the outer surface of the cable a distance of 24 inches (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires. Remove the outer jacket (if applicable) and prepare the cable according to the specific cable type (e.g., Unishield, Jacketed, Non-Jacketed, Flat Metallic Tape Shield, Fabric Tape Shield, Longitudinally Corrugated Shield) as detailed in the product documentation, ensuring correct dimensions for insulation, semi-con shield, and tape marker placement.
- Install Cable Adapter
Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and then lubricate the cable insulation, always working toward 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 Crimp Compression Lug
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. The exposed conductor length must 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 and immediately fully insert it. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping (must be less than 6-3/8 inches). Crimp the compression lug following the supplied instructions. Wipe all excess inhibitor from the lug and cable adapter. After crimping, the distance from the lug end to the cable adapter should be 6-3/8 inches to 7-1/8 inches (162mm-181mm).
- Install Elbow Connector
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; if not, reposition it. Remove the tape marker.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Part
DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized. Do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from both the elbow and the mating part. Hand tighten the threaded stud (supplied with the elbow) into the mating part if it is not already equipped with one. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, keeping surfaces clean.
- Secure Elbow to Mating Part
Push the elbow onto the mating part, carefully aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part. For the opposite end of the elbow, clean and lubricate the mating part. Insert this mating part into the elbow, engage the threads, and hand tighten. Torque the mating part according to its specific instructions.
- Install Insulating Plug Cap (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 hard until it snaps into place. Proceed to the voltage test directions.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a grounding wire (with ampacity at least equivalent to No. 14 AWG Copper) through the grounding eye and twist to make 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 either through a grounding device (following its instructions) or an alternate method. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
- Perform Voltage Test
CAUTION: The voltage test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. Test with 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 'no voltage' is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
