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. Installation must only be performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal to prevent serious or fatal injury.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
3/8 inch hex bit socket, Torque wrench, 600ATM
Supplies needed:
Connecting Plug, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent
- Prepare for Installation and Ensure Safety
Before starting, ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Inspect the connecting plug and its mating parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility. If the product came with protective shipping covers, remove them and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Install the Stud
If the mating plug device (such as an elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher, or elbow end module) 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 as indicated in the diagram. Lubricate the connecting plug, the stud, and the mating part (elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher, or elbow end module) with the lubricant supplied. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE this lubricant, as other lubricants may be harmful to the products. Be sure to keep all surfaces clean during this process.
- Connect and Torque the Plug
Push the connecting plug into the mating part (elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher, or elbow end module) and engage the threads. Hold the contact of the connecting plug firmly against the contact surface of the mating part. Using a 600ATM or a 3/8 inch hex bit socket and a torque wrench, tighten the connection exerting 50 to 60 foot-pounds (68 to 81 newton-meters) of torque.
- 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, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect the other end of the wire to a suitable ground.
