How to Install an Insulated Cap with Ground Lead on a Loadbreak Bushing

This guide provides instructions for safely installing the 273/375DRG(3) insulated cap with ground lead onto ELASTIMOLD 25kV or 35kV class loadbreak bushing interfaces for insulation, shielding, and watersealing.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

Insulated Cap with Ground Lead, Lubricant

  1. Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. 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.

  2. Prepare and Lubricate 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.

  3. Attach Cap to Loadbreak Bushing

    Firmly attach a hotstick (a minimum length of 8 ft. is recommended) 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.
