How to Install the K656DR/K676DR Deadbreak Insulated Cap
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the K656DR/K676DR Deadbreak Insulated Cap with Test Point on 15kV or 28kV class 600 amp deadbreak bushing interfaces. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Hotstick (first), Hotstick (second), Cleaning cloths or wipes, Grounding wire connector tool (as specified by utility)
Supplies needed:
K656DR/K676DR Insulated Cap, Lubricant (supplied or Elastimold approved), Stud (if supplied and needed), No. 8 Copper Grounding Wire, Grounding wire connector (utility specified)
- De-energize Apparatus and Prepare Grounding Wire and Stud
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Connect the free end of the No. 8 copper grounding wire to the system ground using a connector as specified by the utility. Ensure the grounding wire length is sufficient to reach the grounding eye of the insulated cap when installed. If the bushing is not equipped with a stud, hand assemble the supplied stud into the insulated cap. If the bushing already has a stud, discard the supplied stud.
- Clean and Lubricate Interfaces
For new installations where the bushing is known to be de-energized, thoroughly wipe both the bushing interface and the insulated cap interface clean of all contaminants. Lubricate both surfaces with the supplied lubricant or an Elastimold approved lubricant. For circuits that were previously energized, clean and lubricate only the interface of the insulated cap.
- Install Insulated Cap with Hotsticks
Wrap the grounding wire loosely around the body of the insulated cap. Attach the first hotstick tool to the insulated cap pulling ring. Push the receptacle onto the bushing interface as far as it will go. Using a second hotstick, engage the grounding wire and establish slight tension to control its position. With the first hotstick, while pushing against the bushing interface, twist clockwise until the threads between the bushing and insulated cap engage. Continue turning without pushing until resistance is felt. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
