How to Install the 600/900 Series Deadbreak Connecting Plug
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 600/900 series deadbreak connecting plug, including stud installation, lubrication, connection, and grounding. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, 3/8 inch hex bit socket, 600ATM
Supplies needed:
Connecting Plug, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher or elbow end module, No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent
- Install the Stud
If the mating plug device is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into the mating plug device. Ensure the stud is threaded in until the start of the flats are below the contact surface.
- Clean and Lubricate Components
Clean both the connecting plug and its mating part. Lubricate both parts thoroughly with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE with other lubricants, as they may harm the products. Maintain cleanliness of all surfaces during this process.
- Connect and Torque the Plug
Push the connecting plug firmly into the elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher, or elbow end module, ensuring the threads engage. Hold the contact of the connecting plug against the contact surface of the mating part. Using a 600ATM or a 3/8 inch hex bit socket with a torque wrench, tighten the connection to 50 to 60 foot-pounds (68 to 81 newton-meters) of torque. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area.
- Ground the Connecting Plug (If Applicable)
If applicable, insert one end of a No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the connecting plug. Twist the wire tightly, being careful not to damage the eye. Connect the other end of the wire securely to ground.
