CONTENTS:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Probe Wrench, Lubricant (Do Not Substitute)
3--Sealing strips and Installation/Operating Instructions.
The 161LRJS (without test point) and 162LRJS (with test point) are designed to terminate UD cable having jacketed concentric neutral
wires and extruded insulation shielding. The elbow provides an operating interface for connecting to an Elastimold
R
15kV class (8.3kV
phase--to--ground and 14.4kV phase--to--phase) 200 ampere loadbreak bushing or accessory device with fault close rating of 10,000
amperes RMS symmetrical. Designed with a fold down extension on the cable entrance for sealing to the jacket of jacketed cable. When
other types of UD cable are to be terminated, an appropriate Elastimold
R
cable shield or grounding device must be used.
