How to Install K656/K676 Series Deadbreak Receptacles
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation and wiring of K656CY, K676CY, K656CH, K676CH, K656I, and K676I Deadbreak Receptacles, including cable preparation and grounding procedures for 15kV and 25kV applications.
Tools needed:
Hex wrench, Torque wrench with 15/16” socket, Wire brush, Crimp tool, 650ATY assembly tool OR 600RRT assembly tool, Rag, Approved safety solvent
Supplies needed:
Receptacle housings, Cable adapters, I, Wye or H Center sections, Aluminum holding collars, Lubricant, Hex-head bolts, Crimp connectors, Belleville washers, Flat washers, Nylon venting rod, Tape, Conductive copper strip, No. 14 AWG copper wire or equivalent
- Ensure Safety and Inspect Components
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit.
- Prepare the Cable End
Wipe the outer jacket clean for a distance of 38 inches (96.5 cm) from the end. Cut the cable end squarely to ensure maximum available length for crimp growth, making sure the cut is square with respect to the interface.
- Slide Receptacle Housing and Grounding Device
If an ECS grounding device is being used, slide its tube onto the cable a distance of 38 inches (96.5 cm). Then, slide the receptacle housing onto the cable a distance of 30 inches (76.2 cm).
- Perform Cable Preparation
Prepare the cable according to its type. For Jacketed Concentric Neutral Cable: Remove jacket (13-3/4"), bend neutrals, remove semi-con (10-1/4"), mark with tape (1" from semi-con), bevel insulation (1/4" at 45 degrees), clean insulation, lubricate, and slide adapter flush with tape marker. For Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable: Remove outer jacket (13-3/4"), remove tape shield (11-1/4"), wrap conductive copper strip and tape marker, remove semi-con shield (10-1/4"), bevel insulation (1/4" at 45 degrees), clean insulation, lubricate, and slide adapter flush with tape marker.
- Prepare Conductor and Secure Retaining Ring
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter, taking care not to cut or nick the cable adapter or conductor. The exposed conductor should measure 4 3/4” – 5”. Assemble the aluminum retaining ring over the conductor and snug it firmly against the cable adapter. Using the provided hex wrench, tighten the socket head screw hand tight. Confirm the exposed conductor measures 4 3/8” to 4 3/4”.
- Insert Conductor into Crimp Connector
Remove the protective cap from the crimp connector. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the conductor and immediately insert it fully into the crimp connector, which contains inhibitor. Measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; it must not exceed 7 inches (17.78 cm). Repeat steps 5 through 8 for any remaining cables to be joined.
- Crimp Connectors
Prior to crimping, confirm components are positioned correctly and that the bolt holes in the crimp connectors align with the bolt holes of the mating part. Crimp the connectors following the instructions packaged with them, rotating each crimp 90 or 180 degrees. After crimping, measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; it must not exceed 7 inches (17.78 cm).
- Assemble and Torque Bolts
Assemble the washers and bolt in the following order: flat washer against the spade contact, Belleville washer (concave side down), and then the hex-head bolt. Hand tighten all bolts. Using a torque wrench with a 15/16” socket, tighten all bolts to 50 to 60 ft. lbs. Do not attempt to move or reposition any part of the assembly after the bolts are tightened.
- Lubricate and Position Receptacle Housing
Apply the supplied lubricant or an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant generously to the outside of the cable adapter, the area of the splice section, and the inside mating surface of the receptacle housing. Slide the receptacle housing over the cable adapter and up to the edge of the interface. Insert the nylon venting rod (supplied).
- Seat Receptacle Housing Using Assembly Tool
Attach either the 650ATY or 600RRT assembly tool. For 650ATY, ensure the “U” shaped yoke is over the splice section and the “C” shaped yoke is over the receptacle housing, then slowly raise the handle to slide the receptacle housing over the splice section. For 600RRT, slide the receptacle housing over the interface by turning the hex nut. Remove the venting rod. Repeat steps 9 through 10 for any remaining cables.
- Complete Grounding and Final Checks
Check all cable adapters to ensure they are located properly and remove all vinyl tape markers. If using an ECS grounding device, complete its installation according to its instructions. Connect a short length of No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the grounding eyes of the housings, making a small loop and twisting tightly without damaging the eye, then route to ground.
