How to Install Elastimold 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Elastimold 655/675LR and K655/K675LR deadbreak elbow connectors on 15kV and 25kV class systems, including cable preparation, lug crimping, and grounding.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Cable preparation tools, Wire brush (for aluminum conductor), Crimping tool (with crimp chart), Measuring tape or ruler, Hotstick, Suitable voltage sensing device (for capacitive test points), Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
Elbow connector (655/675LR or K655/K675LR), Cable adapter, Compression lug, Insulating plug (if applicable), Lubricant (silicone lubricant), Threaded stud (from stud prepack), Cable (concentric neutral, unishield, lead sheath, jacketed, or non-jacketed), Grounding device (e.g., 20MA, 21MA, 600ECS, or alternate method), Connection wire (minimum No. 14 AWG Copper ampacity), Suitable connector (for grounding wire), Waterproofing material (for cable jacket), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (to replace shipping covers)
- Perform Initial Safety Checks and Inspection
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. Ensure installation is performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Check package contents to ensure completeness. Read all instructions before starting and have all required tools at hand, maintaining cleanliness throughout the procedure. Remove any protective shipping covers and replace with appropriate HV insulated caps or connectors before submerging or energizing the circuit.
- Assemble and Clean the Cable
Assemble the cable in its final position, ensuring enough slack for elbow removal. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the concentric neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4 inches (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product. Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24 inches (610mm) or up to the bent back concentric neutral wires.
- Prepare the Cable
Follow the specific cable preparation steps based on your cable type. If using a 20MA or 21MA grounding device or 600ECS Jacket Cable Seal, refer to their supplied instructions for outer jacket removal, shield connection, and grounding. For UNISHIELD* or LEAD SHEATH cable, refer to the 10TL cable shield adapter instructions for cable preparation. For jacketed and non-jacketed cables, remove the outer jacket (if applicable) and prepare the cable according to the provided diagrams, ensuring correct dimensions for cable insulation, semi-con shield, and tape marker.
- Install the Cable Adapter
Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and then lubricate the cable insulation, always working toward the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the edge of the tape marker.
- Prepare the Conductor
Remove the protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Exercise caution not to cut or nick the cable adapter or the conductor. The length of the exposed conductor must be between 4-1/4 inches and 4-9/16 inches (108mm-116mm). If the length is outside this range, redo the assembly.
- Crimp the 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 into the compression lug. Measure the 'Check Dimension' before crimping; this dimension should be less than 6-3/8 inches. If not, redo the assembly. Crimp the compression lug following the crimping instructions supplied with the lug. After crimping, wipe all excess inhibitor from the compression lug and cable adapter surface. The distance from the end of the compression lug to the cable adapter after crimping should be between 6-3/8 inches to 7-1/8 inches (162mm-181mm). If not, redo the assembly.
- Install the Elbow
Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until the elbow cannot advance further. Verify that the cable adapter is still flush with the tape marker; if not, reposition the cable adapter. Once confirmed, remove the tape marker.
- Prepare Mating Products
DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized. Do not energize while disconnected. 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 the mating part is not already equipped with a stud. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part with the supplied lubricant, ensuring all surfaces remain clean.
- Connect the Elbow to the Mating Part
Push the elbow onto the mating part, carefully aligning the hole in the compression lug with the stud on the mating part.
- Connect the Opposite End of the Elbow
Clean and lubricate the mating part intended 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 the specific instructions supplied with that mating part.
- Install Insulating Plug (If Applicable)
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 securely into place. Proceed to the voltage test directions.
- Ground the Cable Shield
Insert one end of a piece of wire, with ampacity at least equivalent to No. 14 AWG Copper, through the grounding eye and twist it to form a small loop, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The shield of the cable must be grounded; ground it according to the instructions supplied with your grounding device. If no grounding device is used, ensure the shield is grounded through an alternate approved method. It is also recommended to waterproof the jacket of the cable at this point to prevent moisture from entering the cable.
- Torque Components for 600-amp L-Kits
CAUTION: When constructing 600-amp L-Kits, ensure that each component is tightened to its specified torque according to the instructions provided with the L-Kit.
- Perform Voltage Test
WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device and is not directly connected to the conductor. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the specific meter used. Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle rather than pulling directly in line with the assembly. Test with a suitable sensing device, designed for separable connectors with capacitive test points, to determine if the cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, dirt, or using the wrong measuring equipment can provide a false 'no voltage' indication. To prevent serious or fatal injury, treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means. After voltage detection, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
