How to Install K656I Deadbreak Receptacles
This guide provides detailed instructions for installing K656I Deadbreak Receptacles, designed to splice and tap solid dielectric cables rated for 600 amperes at 15kV and 25kV. Follow these steps carefully for safe and effective installation of one cable leg.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Hex wrench, Torque wrench with 15/16 inch socket, Wire strippers, Wire brush (for aluminum cable), Rag, Approved safety solvent, 650ATY Assembly Tool OR 600RRT Assembly Tool
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, No. 14 AWG copper wire, Tape (for cable marker)
- Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety
Before beginning, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. This installation must be performed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Inspect all package contents and components for damage, proper fit, and compatibility with mating parts. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors if applicable. Have all required tools and supplies at hand.
- Prepare Cable and Adapter
Wipe the cable's outer jacket clean for 38 inches from the end, ensuring a square cut. If an ECS grounding device is being used, slide its tube onto the cable for 38 inches. Slide the receptacle housing onto the cable for 30 inches. Refer to the specific cable preparation supplement (Part A for Jacketed Concentric Neutral Cable or Part B for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable with Semi-con Shield) for your cable type to remove the jacket, semi-con shield, and/or tape shield to the specified lengths. Bevel the insulation end at a 45-degree angle and thoroughly clean it with an approved safety solvent. Apply lubricant sparingly along the cable and inside the cable adapter, then slide the adapter over the cable with a twisting motion until its end is flush with the designated tape marker.
- Assemble Retaining Ring and Verify Conductor Length
Remove any protruding cable insulation, cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure the exposed conductor measures 4 3/4 to 5 inches; otherwise, redo the assembly. Assemble the aluminum retaining ring over the conductor, snugging it firmly against the cable adapter. Using the provided hex wrench, hand tighten the socket head screw. Confirm the exposed conductor now measures 4 3/8 to 4 3/4 inches; otherwise, redo the assembly.
- Install and Crimp Connectors
Remove the protective cap from the crimp connector. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it into the crimp connector. Measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if it is over 7 inches, do not proceed and redo all previous work. Confirm bolt holes in the crimp connectors are positioned to align with the mating part. Crimp the connectors following their specific instructions, rotating each crimp 90 or 180 degrees. After crimping, re-measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if it is over 7 inches, redo all previous work.
- Secure Connection and Torque Bolts
Assemble the washers and bolt in the following order: flat washer against the spade contact, Belleville washer (concave side down), then the hex-head bolt. Hand tighten the bolt. Clean and lubricate the assembly. Using a torque wrench with a 15/16 inch 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, as the splice and cables are now in their final positions.
- Assemble Receptacle Housing
Apply the supplied lubricant generously to the outside of the cable adapter, 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. Use either the 650ATY or 600RRT assembly tool to slowly slide the receptacle housing over the splice section. WARNING: Do not place hands on the threaded rod or guide shaft with the assembly tool in place. Remove the venting rod once the housing is in place. If installing multiple cables, repeat steps for each additional cable. Check all cable adapters for proper location and remove any vinyl tape markers.
- Complete Grounding
Complete the installation of any ECS grounding device according to its specific instructions. Connect a short length of No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the grounding eyes of the housings. Make a small loop and twist tightly, taking care not to damage the eye, and connect to ground according to local and national electrical standards.
