How to Install the Elastimold 655VS / K655VS Deadbreak Vault Stretcher
This guide details the installation process for the Elastimold 655VS / K655VS Deadbreak Vault Stretcher, which provides fully shielded, fully submersible deadfront cable connections to high voltage apparatus and a means to splice and tap 600-ampere systems on 15kV and 25kV class systems.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Crimping tool, Wire brush, Wire strippers, Cable knife, Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
Vault Stretcher, Cable Adapters, Compression Lugs, Insulating Plugs, Lubricant, Special 650VSA Stud, Tape markers, No. 14 AWG copper wire, Suitable grounding connectors
- Perform Safety Checks and Initial Inspection
De-energize all apparatus before beginning installation. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Check package contents to ensure they are complete and undamaged, and verify all components fit properly with the cable and/or mating products.
- Prepare Concentric Neutral Cable
For concentric neutral cable, overlap both cables and cut to 14” (355mm) from the joint centerline. Bend back the concentric neutral wires. Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24” (610mm) or up to the bent-back neutrals.
- Prepare Cable Jacket and Shield
Remove the outer jacket (where applicable) and prepare the cable according to its specific type (e.g., non-jacketed concentric neutral, jacketed shield wires, flat metallic tape shield, fabric tape shield, or longitudinally corrugated shield) to the specified dimensions for insulation, semi-con shield, and outer jacket/tape marker.
- Prepare and Install Cable Adapter
Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4” (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
Remove any protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure the length of the exposed conductor is between 4-3/8” and 4-11/16” (111mm-119mm). Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor.
- Install and Crimp Compression Lug
For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it. Align the flat portions of the compression connector using a 5/8” bolt as a temporary locator. Make the first crimp connection 3-1/2” from the open end of the compression fitting at the indicated mark. Rotate each successive crimp 180 degrees to prevent bowing.
- Final Crimp Check and Preparation
Carefully wipe excess inhibitor from the outside of the connector and from the cable insulation. Check to ensure that the connector end is 6-1/2” to 7-1/4” (165 to 184mm). Remove any sharp flash from the crimp before inserting it into the vault stretcher body.
- Install Vault Stretcher Body
Lubricate the inside of the vault stretcher body and the outside of the cable adapter. Using a rotating motion, slip the body onto the cable adapter, ensuring the compression lug aligns and seats with the inside mating portion. Push the lug until it cannot advance further, keeping the adapter base aligned with the marking tape. Repeat for the opposite cable, pushing the vault stretcher and compression lug sideways until the lug enters the body. Slowly push both units to final alignment, ensuring the lubricated adapter slides into proper position. Verify the compression lug's location through the viewing hole. Once fully seated, ensure both cable adapters are still flush with tape markers. Remove tape markers.
- Connect Mating Parts
Use a special 650VSA stud (1/2” longer than the standard stud). DO NOT connect or disconnect mating products while energized, and DO NOT energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from the vault stretcher and the mating part. Hand tighten the stud, supplied with the vault stretcher, into one mating part. Clean and lubricate the vault stretcher and the mating part. Clean and lubricate the mating part for the opposite end. Insert the mating part into the elbow, engage the threads, and hand tighten. Torque mating parts according to their 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 hard until the cap snaps into place.
- Ground Concentric Neutral Cable
Insert one end of a piece of wire with ampacity at least equivalent to No. 14 AWG copper through a grounding eye and twist to make a small loop. Repeat for the other grounding eye, taking care not to damage the eyes. Connect these wires to ground using suitable connectors.
