How to Install 655/656/675/676CETP Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of 655/656/675/676CETP deadbreak elbow connectors, including cable preparation, lug crimping, and connection to mating products. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area.
Tools needed:
Wire brush, 600AT assembly tool (for products dated Sep 30, 2013 or earlier), 600ATM assembly tool (for products dated Oct 1, 2013 or later), Hotstick, Suitable sensing device (for capacitive test points)
Supplies needed:
Elbow connector, Cable adapter, Compression lug, Lubricant, Vinyl plastic tape, Tape retainer (if fabric tape shield), Tape marker (if applicable for shield type), 10TL cable shield adapter (if using UNISHIELD® or lead sheath cable), Wire (at least No. 14 AWG Copper), Suitable connector (for grounding wire), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if replacing shipping covers), Silicone grease
- Position the Cable
Position the cable in its final assembled location, ensuring enough slack for elbow removal. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the concentric neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.
- Clean the Cable Outer Surface
Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24” (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires.
- Address Grounding Device (If Applicable)
If a 20MA or 21MA grounding device or 600ECS Jacket Cable Seal is being used, refer to the installation instructions supplied with those specific products for cable outer jacket removal, shield connection, and grounding. Otherwise, proceed with the following instructions for cable preparation.
- Prepare the Cable Shield
Prepare the cable according to its specific shield type: remove the outer jacket to the specified dimension, fold back shield wires, and remove or secure tape shields as dimensioned. If using UNISHIELD® CABLE or lead sheath cable, a 10TL cable shield adapter is required; refer to its specific instructions for cable preparation and grounding. For semi-con shields, remove carefully to the specified dimensions without cutting or nicking the cable insulation.
- Install the 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 (using the supplied lubricant and 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 the Conductor
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure not to cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. The exposed conductor length must be 4 3/8”–4 11/16” (111mm–119mm); otherwise, 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 and immediately fully insert it. Measure the 'Check Dimension' (which must be less than 6 1/2” (165mm)) before crimping. Crimp the compression lug following its supplied crimping instructions. Wipe all excess inhibitor from the compression lug and cable adapter surface after crimping. The distance from the end of the compression lug to the cable adapter after crimping should be 6 1/2”–7 1/4” (165mm–184mm); otherwise, redo the assembly.
- 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 is still flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Remove the tape marker.
- Prepare Mating Products and Stud
DANGER: DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT MATING PRODUCTS WHILE ENERGIZED. DO NOT ENERGIZE WHILE DISCONNECTED. Remove protective caps from 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. Use the appropriate assembly tool (600AT for products dated September 30, 2013 or earlier, or 600ATM for products dated October 1, 2013 or later) to engage the hex broach in the contact assembly. Insert the contact assembly into the elbow interface to engage the stud. Torque the contact assembly until the torque limiter on the 600AT ratchets (19 to 25 foot/pounds) or tighten the 600ATM contact assembly to 50/60 foot/pounds torque. WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED 60 FOOT POUNDS TORQUE with the 600ATM tool.
- 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 make a small loop, ensuring not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded; follow the instructions supplied with the grounding device, or use an alternate method if no device is used. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture entry.
- Install Additional Mating Connectors or Caps (If Applicable)
Clean and lubricate the entire loadbreak interface and either a DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR of the appropriate voltage class with the supplied lubricant. Install the DR(G), ESA, GLR, or LR to the tap plug interface following the instructions supplied with each of these products.
- Verify Seating Indication
Confirm the complete assembly of an insulated cap or elbow by ensuring that no portion of the colored interface sleeve is visible when viewed from the side.
- Perform Voltage Test (656CETP Only)
If using a 656CETP connector, perform a voltage test. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device made for separable connectors with capacitive test points and follow its manufacturer’s directions. Contamination, moisture, dirt, or incorrect equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication; treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means. After voltage detection, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on the test point.
