Bail, Installation Instructions.
The 156LR is designed to terminate UD cable having concentric neutral and extruded insulation shielding. The elbow provides
a voltage test point and an operating interface for connecting to an Elastimold 15kV class (8.3kV phase--to--ground and 14.4kV
phase--to--phase) or 25kV class (15.2kV Phase--to--Ground and 26.3kV phase--to--phase) 200 ampere deadbreak bushing or
accessory device. When other types of UD cable are to be terminated an appropriate Elastimold cable shield or grounding
device must be used.

VOLTAGE TEST
The ELASTIMOLD dead--break elbow connector is equipped with an integral capacitance test point that can be used to estab-
lish whether or not the circuit is energized. When use the test point, complete the following steps:
Loadbreak connectors must be operated with an eight foot, fully insulated ”hotstick” type of tool.
1. Remove test point with a hotstick. When removing cap, PEEL OFF AT AN ANGLE rather than pulling directly in line with
the test point assembly.
2. Using a suitable sensing device, proceed to determine if cable is energized.
DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL VOLTAGE MEASURING EQUIPMENT
WARNING: THE VOLTAGE TEST POINT IS A CAPACITANCE DEVICE, IT IS NOT DIRECTLY
CONNECTED TO THE CONDUCTOR. 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.
3. After voltage detection has been made, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on
the test point.
