How to Install K675J35 Deadbreak Junction with Universal Mount

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the K675J35 Deadbreak Junction using the universal mounting method, including securing brackets, assembling the junction, grounding, and preparing for operation. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench set (for 3/8" and 1/2" hex fasteners), Marking tool, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

K675J35 Deadbreak Junction, Base Bracket, Base Plate, Universal Brackets (4), Mounting Hardware Prepack (includes 3/8" hex head cap screws, external tooth lock washers, 3/8" hex nuts, 1/2" hex head cap screws, 1/2" split lock washers, 1/2" hex nuts), Suitable fasteners (for mounting universal brackets to surface, user-supplied), Grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded), ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (for unused bushings)

  1. Safety First: De-energize Apparatus

    Before beginning any installation, ensure all apparatus is completely de-energized. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

  2. Determine Mounting Location and Mark Slots

    Select the desired location for the junction assembly. Use the base plate as a template, place it on the mounting surface, and accurately mark all slot locations for drilling or fastener placement.

  3. Attach Initial Universal Brackets to Surface

    Secure two (2) universal brackets to the marked flat surface using suitable fasteners. Tighten these fasteners securely to prevent any movement of the brackets during operation.

  4. Connect Remaining Universal Brackets

    Attach the remaining two (2) universal brackets to the two brackets already mounted on the surface. Position them at the desired angle and secure them tightly using the supplied 3/8” hex head cap screws, external tooth lock washers, and 3/8” hex nuts.

  5. Assemble Junction to Base Bracket and Plate

    Connect the deadbreak junction to the base bracket assembly and base plate. Use two (2) 1/2” hex head cap screws, two (2) 1/2” split lock washers, and two (2) 1/2” hex nuts, attaching them to the center mounting holes on the bracket assembly. Tighten all components securely.

  6. Mount Junction Assembly to Universal Brackets

    Attach the entire deadbreak junction assembly to the previously installed universal brackets. Use the supplied 1/2” split lock washers, 1/2” hex nuts, and 1/2” hex head cap screws. Ensure the parking stand is in the upright position and tighten all fasteners securely.

  7. Ground the Assembly

    The base bracket assembly and the junction’s black conductive jacket must be properly grounded. Connect a grounding wire (No. 2 solid to 1/0 stranded) to the grounding lug provided on the base bracket. Ensure a secure and reliable ground connection.

  8. Prepare Operating Interfaces

    Remove all protective shipping caps from the operating interfaces and thoroughly clean them. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant; do not use substitutes. If any operating interfaces are not utilized, install appropriate HV insulated caps before energizing the circuit. Do NOT use the protective shipping caps for this purpose as they are not insulated.
