How to Install 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides detailed instructions for the safe installation and setup of 600-ampere or 900-ampere deadbreak elbow connectors on 15kV and 25kV class systems. All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush, Hotstick, Voltage sensing device (for capacitive test points), Torque wrench, Utility knife

Supplies needed:

655/675LR or K655/K675LR Elbow Connector, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug (if needed), Silicone Lubricant, Threaded Stud, Cable (appropriate type), Tape marker, No. 14 AWG Copper equivalent grounding wire, Grounding connector, HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s), Waterproofing material

  1. Prepare Cable for Installation

    Assemble the cable in its final position with enough slack to allow for elbow removal. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.

  2. Clean Cable Surface

    Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24” (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires.

  3. Perform Cable Preparation

    Follow the specific cable preparation instructions (A, B, or C) that apply to your cable type (e.g., Unishield, Lead Sheath, Jacketed, Non-Jacketed). This involves removing the outer jacket (if applicable) and preparing the cable insulation and shield as shown in the diagrams.

  4. Install and Lubricate Cable 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.

  5. Trim Cable Insulation and Verify Conductor Length

    Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. The exposed conductor length must be between 4-1/4” and 4-9/16” (108mm-116mm). If not, redo the assembly.

  6. 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; it must be less than 6-3/8”. Crimp the compression lug according to the supplied instructions. Wipe off all excess inhibitor. After crimping, the distance from the lug end to the cable adapter must be between 6-3/8” to 7-1/8” (162mm-181mm). If not, redo the assembly.

  7. Lubricate and Install Elbow

    Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow 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.

  8. Prepare Mating Apparatus

    Remove protective caps from both 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 with one. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, ensuring surfaces remain clean. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT MATING PRODUCTS WHILE ENERGIZED. DO NOT ENERGIZED WHILE DISCONNECTED.

  9. Connect Elbow to Mating Part

    Push the elbow onto the mating part, carefully aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part.

  10. Connect Second Mating Part

    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.

  11. Install Insulating Plug and Voltage Detection Cap

    If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate the inner surface of the voltage detection cap. Place it on the elbow and push down hard until the cap snaps into place.

  12. Ground Cable Shield and Waterproof Jacket

    Insert one end of a No. 14 AWG Copper equivalent wire through the grounding eye and twist to form a small loop, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded either via a grounding device (following its instructions) or an alternate method. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point to prevent moisture ingress. CAUTION: When constructing 600amp L-Kits, ensure each component is tightened to the specified torque per instructions.

  13. Perform Voltage Test

    Use the integral capacitance test point to determine if the circuit is energized. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The test point is a capacitance device, not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Use a suitable sensing device designed for capacitive test points. Treat the elbow as energized until “no voltage” is confirmed by other means to prevent serious injury. After testing, clean and lubricate the cap and replace it.
