How to Install 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation, wiring, and initial setup of 600-ampere and 900-ampere deadbreak elbow connectors on 15kV and 25kV class systems.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Cable cutter, Cable stripping tools, Measuring tape, Beveling tool, Cleaning supplies (rags, solvent), Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Crimping tool, Torque wrench, Hotstick, Capacitive voltage sensing device
Supplies needed:
Elbow connector (655/675LR or K655/K675LR), Cable adapter, Compression lug, Insulating plug (optional), Lubricant (silicone), Threaded stud (if mating part not equipped), No. 14 AWG Copper wire (or equivalent) for grounding, Suitable ground connector, Waterproofing material (recommended for cable jacket), Protective caps (to be removed), Tape marker
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting installation. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all package contents and components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts.
- Prepare Cable for Connection
Assemble the cable in its final position with enough slack. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from the center line of the mating product. Clean the outer surface of the cable for 24” (610mm). Remove the outer jacket and prepare the cable shield according to the cable type (refer to specific instructions for 20MA/21MA, 600ECS, 10TL, Unishield, or Lead Sheath cables if applicable).
- Prepare Cable Insulation and Install Adapter
Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4” (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and then lubricate the cable insulation, working towards 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 Verify Length
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. CAUTION: Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. Verify the exposed conductor length is between 4-1/4” to 4-9/16” (108mm-116mm). If not, redo the assembly.
- Install and Crimp Compression Lug
For copper conductors, fully insert the conductor into the compression lug. For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping (must be less than 6-3/8”). Crimp the compression lug according to its supplied instructions. Wipe off all excess inhibitor. Verify the distance from the end of the lug to the cable adapter is 6-3/8” to 7-1/8” (162mm-181mm) after crimping.
- Install Elbow onto Cable Adapter
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. Ensure the cable adapter remains flush with the tape marker; reposition if necessary. Remove the tape marker.
- Prepare Mating Products for Connection
DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized, and do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from the elbow and the mating part. Hand tighten the threaded stud (supplied with the elbow) into the mating part if it's not already equipped. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, keeping surfaces clean.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Part
Push the elbow onto the mating part, carefully lining up the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part.
- Connect Opposite End Mating Part (if applicable)
Clean and lubricate the mating part for the opposite end of the elbow. Insert this mating part into the elbow, engage the threads, and hand tighten. Torque the mating part according to its specific instructions.
- Install Insulating Plug or Voltage Detection Cap (Optional)
If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap and place it on the elbow. Push down firmly until the cap snaps into place. Proceed to the voltage test directions.
- Ground the Cable Shield and Waterproof Jacket
Insert one end of a No. 14 AWG Copper wire (or equivalent) through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop. CAUTION: Do not damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. Ensure the cable shield is grounded, either via a grounding device or an alternate method. It is recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress.
- Perform Voltage Test for Energization
WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling off at an angle. Test with a suitable capacitive sensing device to determine if the cable is energized. Treat the elbow as energized until 'no voltage' is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
