How to Install the K655RLR High Voltage Connector
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the K655RLR connector, designed for high voltage apparatus up to 28kV class systems where cable length is limited.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Hex wrench (supplied), Torque wrench (with 9/16-inch socket), Wire strippers, Approved safety solvent, Rag, Wire brush (for aluminum cable), 650ATY assembly tool (optional), 600RRT assembly tool (optional), Hotstick, Suitable sensing device
Supplies needed:
K655RLR kit components (Elbow, Cable Adapter, Compression Connector, Insulating Plug, Receptacle, Test Point Cap, “I” Adapter, Bolt & Washer Prepack, Retaining Ring, Lubricant, Nylon Venting Rod), Threaded stud (if mating part not equipped), Semi-con sleeve (if needed), Electrical tape, No 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent), Suitable connectors (for grounding), Silicone grease (for test point cap)
- Initial Safety and Component Preparation
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. This product must only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Inspect all K655RLR kit components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Remove protective caps from the elbow and clean and lubricate the 'I' adapter and the inside of the elbow with the supplied lubricant. Assemble the 'I' adapter into the elbow, ensuring the spade contact bottoms and the flat side of the 'I' contact faces away from the apparatus.
- Connect Elbow to Mating Apparatus
Remove protective caps from the mating apparatus. If the mating part is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the supplied threaded stud into it. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part. Carefully position the elbow so the flat side of the 'I' contact faces away from the apparatus, then push the elbow onto the mating part, aligning the 'I' adapter lug hole with the stud. For the opposite end, clean and lubricate its mating part, insert it into the elbow, engage threads, hand tighten, and then torque according to the mating part's instructions. If using an insulating plug, clean and lubricate its voltage detection cap and snap it into place on the elbow.
- Prepare Cable for Connection
Slide the receptacle housing onto the cable. Measure and cut the cable 1 3/4 inches from the center of the 'I' adapter's bolt hole. Remove the semi-con shield 1 1/8 inches from the center of the bolt hole; restore with a semi-con sleeve if the dimension exceeds this. Wrap two turns of tape 1 inch from the end of the semi-con shield as a marker. Bevel the insulation end at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch back. Thoroughly clean the insulation with an approved safety solvent, wiping from the cable end towards the outer jacket to remove all semi-conducting residue.
- Install Cable Adapter and Retaining Ring
Apply supplied lubricant sparingly along the cable and lubricate the inside of the cable adapter. Slide the adapter, small end first, over the cable with a twisting motion until it is flush with the tape marker. Carefully cut the protruding cable insulation even with the end of the cable adapter, ensuring not to nick the adapter or conductor. The exposed conductor length should be between 4 3/16 inches and 5 1/8 inches; if not, redo the assembly. Assemble the aluminum retaining ring over the conductor, snugging it firmly against the cable adapter. Tighten the socket head screw using the supplied hex wrench until the wrench twists. Verify the exposed conductor length is now between 4 5/16 inches and 4 5/8 inches.
- Prepare and Crimp Compression Connector
Remove the protective cap from the compression connector. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the conductor and immediately insert it fully into the crimp connector, which contains an inhibitor. Bolt the crimp connector onto the 'I' Adapter and tighten to 25 ft-lbs to ensure proper positioning. Train the cable into its final position and mark alignment points on the retaining ring and the outside surface of the crimp connector. Remove the bolted contact from the 'I' Adapter, align the marks, and crimp the connectors according to their instructions, rotating each crimp 90 or 180 degrees. After crimping, measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if it exceeds 7 1/8 inches, recheck all previous work.
- Final Assembly and Torque
Ensure the flat surface of the 'I' Adapter aligns perfectly with the flat surface on the crimp connector, with no gaps. Assemble the washers and bolt in the following order: flat washer against the spade contact, then the Belleville washer (concave side down), followed by the hex-head bolt. Hand tighten the bolt. Using a torque wrench with a 9/16-inch socket, tighten the bolt to 50 to 60 ft-lbs. Do not attempt to move or reposition any part of the assembly after the bolt is tightened. Clean and lubricate the outside of the cable adapter and the 'I' adapter with the supplied lubricant.
- Install Receptacle Housing and Grounding
Slide the receptacle housing over the cable adapter and into position. Insert the supplied nylon venting rod. Use either the 650ATY or 600RRT assembly tool (refer to tool-specific instructions and warnings) to slowly slide the receptacle housing over the splice section. Remove the vent rod. After removing the assembly tool, rotate the receptacle approximately 1/8 revolution clockwise, then 1/8 revolution counterclockwise to ensure it is properly seated. For concentric neutral cable, connect a short length of No 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the grounding eyes of the housings, twisting tightly. Gather and connect all concentric neutral wires and grounding wires using suitable connectors. Ground the metallic shield of the cable according to standard utility practices and waterproof the cable jacket if applicable.
