How to Install 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products, including connection to elbows or bushing extensions and voltage testing.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench, Hotstick, Suitable voltage sensing device
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s), Silicone lubricant
- De-energize Apparatus and Ensure Safety
Before beginning installation or removal of any part, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.
- Inspect Parts for Damage and Compatibility
Check the contents of the package to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Inspect all components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with the cable and/or mating products. Excess distortion of the assembled product may result in its failure.
- Prepare Plug/Well and Mating Part
Remove any protective shipping covers from the plug or well product and replace with appropriate HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) if applicable. If the 600amp mating interface is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into a 600amp interface on the plug or well. Lubricate both the elbow and its mating part as indicated with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Keep surfaces clean.
- Connect Plug or Well to Mating Part
Push the plug or well into the elbow or bushing extension and engage the threads firmly.
- Torque Tighten the Connection
Use a torque wrench to tighten the connection. For insulating plugs, apply 50 to 60 foot-pounds of torque. For connector plugs, tap plugs, or tap wells, use an ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench and apply an indicated torque of 40 to 48 foot-pounds. Refer to special instructions IS-0915 for K651 and 750 rubber connecting plugs.
- Install Voltage Detection 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. Follow the voltage test directions below.
- Remove Test Point Cap
Using a hotstick, remove the test point cap. PEEL OFF AT AN ANGLE rather than pulling directly in line with the test point assembly.
- Perform Voltage Test
WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is NOT directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the meter used. Test with a suitable sensing device, made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points, to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, dirt, etc., or use of the wrong measuring equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication. To prevent serious or fatal injury, treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means.
- Replace Test Point Cap
After voltage detection has been made, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
