How to Install 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and connection of 15/25/35kV 600/900 AMP Deadbreak Plug and Well Products, including initial setup, wiring, and voltage testing.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Torque wrench, ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench, Hotstick, Suitable capacitive sensing device
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied), Stud, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s)
- Prepare for Installation and Inspect Components
Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect the plug or well, lubricant, and all mating parts for any damage, proper rating, and compatibility. Verify package contents are complete and undamaged. Have all required tools ready and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare Plug/Well and Mating Interface
Remove any protective caps from the plug or well product. If the 600amp mating interface is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into the 600amp interface on the plug or well. Lubricate both the elbow and its mating part using only the supplied lubricant; do not substitute. Keep all surfaces clean.
- Connect Plug/Well to Elbow or Bushing Extension
Carefully push the plug or well into the elbow or bushing extension until the threads engage firmly.
- 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 an ELASTIMOLD 600SW spanner wrench with the torque wrench, applying an indicated torque of 40 to 48 foot-pounds. Refer to special instructions IS-0915 for K651 and 750 rubber connecting plugs.
- Install Voltage Detection Cap (if applicable)
If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Push the cap down hard onto the elbow until it snaps securely into place.
- Perform Voltage Test
WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. Test with a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' indication is confirmed by other means to prevent serious injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
