How to Install K656DLR Direct Test Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of K656DLR Direct Test Elbow Connectors, including cable preparation, component assembly, and connection to high voltage apparatus.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Torque wrench (for mating parts), High voltage insulated hot stick (for test point cap), Suitable grounding connector
Supplies needed:
K656DLR Elbow Connector kit (Elbow, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug, Lubricant, Stud Prepack), Cable (appropriate type for application), Vinyl plastic tape (if required for shield type), Tape retainer (if required for shield type), Tape marker (if required for shield type), Grounding wire (at least #14 AWG copper), Waterproofing material (for cable jacket), Mating high voltage apparatus (bushing, tap plug, or tap well)
- De-energize Apparatus and Position Cable
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Position the cable in its final assembled location, allowing sufficient slack to remove elbows. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the neutral wires. Cut the cable 1 3/4 inches (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.
- Prepare the Cable Outer Jacket and Shield
Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24 inches (610mm) or up to the bent-back concentric neutral wires. Refer to the specific instructions for your cable type (e.g., outer jacket, shield wires, flat metallic tape, fabric tape, longitudinally corrugated, semi-con shield) and remove the outer jacket and shield to the specified dimensions. If using UNISHIELD or lead sheath cable, refer to the 10TL cable shield adapter instructions. Do not cut or nick the cable insulation when removing the semi-con shield.
- 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, 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 and Crimp Compression Lug
Remove any protruding cable insulation, cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure the exposed conductor length is between 4 3/8 inches (111mm) and 4 11/16 inches (119mm). For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor immediately before fully inserting it into the compression lug. For copper, fully insert the conductor. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping (must be less than 6 1/2 inches / 165mm). Crimp the compression lug according to the supplied instructions. Wipe off any excess inhibitor. After crimping, the distance from the end of the lug to the cable adapter should be between 6 1/2 to 7 1/4 inches (165mm to 184mm).
- Install the Elbow Connector
Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow's cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until it cannot advance further. Verify that the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker. If not, reposition the cable adapter. Remove the tape marker.
- Prepare and Connect to Mating Product
DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized, and do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from both the elbow and the mating part. If the mating part is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the threaded stud supplied with the elbow into it. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant. Push the elbow onto the mating part, aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud. For the opposite end of the elbow, clean and lubricate the mating part, insert it into the elbow, engage the threads, and hand tighten. Torque the mating part according to its specific instructions.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a grounding wire (at least No. 14 AWG copper) through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded according to the instructions supplied with any grounding device used, or via an alternate method if no device is present. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
- 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 onto the elbow and push down firmly until it snaps into place. Refer to separate instructions for direct voltage testing procedures, if required.
