How to Install K656CETP Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
A comprehensive guide for installing 655/656/675/676CETP deadbreak elbow connectors, including cable preparation, lug crimping, and connection to high voltage apparatus. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Crimping tool, 600AT or 600ATM assembly tool, Hotstick, Suitable sensing device for capacitive test points, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors)
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied), Vinyl plastic tape, Compression lug, Grounding wire (min. No. 14 AWG Copper), Suitable connector for grounding, Silicone grease
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal. Inspect all package contents and components for damage, correct rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Ensure all required tools are at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure. Position the cable with enough slack for elbow removal and unwind concentric neutral wires if applicable. Cut the cable 1-3/4 inches (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.
- Prepare the Cable Jacket and Shield
Clean the outer surface of the cable for 24 inches (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires. Remove the outer jacket to the specified dimension. Fold back shield wires. For flat metallic tape shields, remove the tape and secure with vinyl plastic tape. For fabric tape shields, remove the tape and install a tape retainer and marker. For longitudinally corrugated shields, remove the shield and install a tape marker. For UNISHIELD® or lead sheath cables, refer to the 10TL cable shield adapter instructions. For semi-con shields, remove the shield and install a tape marker, ensuring not to cut or nick the cable insulation.
- Install the 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, 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 the Conductor
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Exercise caution not to cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. The exposed conductor length must be between 4 3/8 inches and 4 11/16 inches (111mm-119mm). If the length is outside this range, redo the assembly.
- Crimp the Compression Lug
For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor immediately before fully inserting it into the lug. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping; it must be less than 6 1/2 inches (165mm). Crimp the compression lug according to the instructions supplied with the lug. After crimping, wipe off all excess inhibitor from the lug and cable adapter surface. The distance from the end of the lug to the cable adapter must be 6 1/2 inches to 7 1/4 inches (165mm-184mm).
- Install the Elbow
Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow cable entrance with the supplied lubricant. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until it cannot advance further. Verify that the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Remove the tape marker.
- Prepare Mating Products
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. Install the stud into the apparatus by hand until it is fully seated. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, ensuring all surfaces remain clean.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Part
Push the elbow onto the mating part. For products dated September 30, 2013, or earlier, use the 600AT assembly tool to engage the hex broach in the contact assembly, insert it into the elbow interface to engage the stud, and torque until the 600AT ratchets (19 to 25 foot/pounds). For products dated October 1, 2013, or later, use the 600ATM assembly tool and tighten to 50/60 foot/pounds torque, but do not exceed 60 foot pounds.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a wire, with ampacity at least equivalent to No. 14 AWG Copper, through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop without damaging the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded; follow instructions supplied with a grounding device or use an alternate method. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket to prevent moisture ingress.
- Install Optional Mating Connector (Tap Well)
Clean and lubricate the entire loadbreak interface and either a DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR of the appropriate voltage class using the supplied lubricant or an ELASTIMOLD® approved lubricant. Install the DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR to the tap plug interface by following the specific instructions provided with those products.
- Verify Full Seating
Confirm that the assembly of an insulated cap or elbow is complete by ensuring no portion of the colored interface sleeve is visible when viewed from the side.
- Perform Voltage Test (Optional)
For 656CETP, remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The voltage test point 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. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on the test point.
