How to Install 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well products, including mating with elbows or bushing extensions and performing voltage tests.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench, Hotstick, Suitable sensing device for capacitive test points
Supplies needed:
15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug or Well, Lubricant (supplied), 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Elbow or Bushing Extension, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s), Silicone lubricant
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Parts
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify package contents are complete and undamaged, and all components fit correctly with cables and/or mating products. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Remove Shipping Covers (if applicable)
If the product is supplied with protective shipping cover(s), remove these shipping cover(s) and replace with the appropriate HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) before submerging or energizing the circuit.
- Prepare and Lubricate Plug/Well and Mating Part
Remove protective caps from the plug or well product. If the 600amp mating interface is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud (supplied with elbow/bushing extension) into a 600amp interface on the plug or well. Lubricate both the elbow/bushing extension and its mating part as indicated with ONLY the lubricant supplied. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the products. Be sure to keep surfaces of the elbow and mating parts clean.
- Connect Plug/Well to Elbow/Bushing Extension
Push the plug or well firmly into the elbow or bushing extension and engage the threads.
- Torque Tighten the Connection
Use a torque wrench to tighten the connection. For an Insulating Plug, apply 50 to 60 foot-pounds of torque. For a Connector Plug, Tap Plug, or Tap Well, use a torque wrench with an ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench, applying an indicated torque of 40 to 48 foot-pounds. For K651 and 750 Rubber Connecting Plugs, refer to special instructions IS-0915.
- Install Voltage Detection Cap (if insulating plug is used)
If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place the cap on the elbow and push down hard until it snaps into place.
- Remove Test Point Cap
Using a hotstick, remove the test point cap. When removing the cap, PEEL OFF AT AN ANGLE rather than pulling directly in line with the test point assembly.
- Perform Voltage Test
WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device; it is NOT directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the meter that is used. Test with a suitable sensing device, made for use with separable connectors manufactured with capacitive test points, to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, dirt, etc., around the test point or use of the wrong measuring equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication on an energized elbow. To prevent serious or fatal injury, treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means.
- Replace Test Point Cap
After voltage detection has been made, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it firmly on the test point.
