Product information
Introduction
Eaton's Cooper Power series 600 A 15/25 kV Class
PUSH-OP
®
deadbreak connectors are used to terminate
high-voltage underground cable on deadfront apparatus
such as transformers, switches, and switchgear. They are
fully shielded, submersible, and meet the requirements of
IEEE Std 386™ standard, “Separable Insulated Connector
Systems”. Eaton's 600 A deadbreak connectors are fully
interchangeable with all other manufacturers that also certify
compliance with IEEE Std 386™ standard. The PUSH-OP is
rated for 900 A when used with all 900 A current carrying
components.
Read this manual first
Read and understand the contents of this manual and follow
all locally approved procedures and safety practices before
installing or operating this equipment.
Additional information
These instructions cannot cover all details or variations
in the equipment, procedures, or process described nor
provide directions for meeting every possible contingency
during installation, operation, or maintenance. For additional
information, contact your Eaton representative.
Acceptance and initial inspection
Each PUSH-OP deadbreak connector is in good condition
when accepted by the carrier for shipment. Upon receipt,
inspect the shipping container for signs of damage. Unpack
the connector and inspect it thoroughly for damage incurred
during shipment. If damage is discovered, file a claim with
the carrier immediately.
Handling and storage
Be careful during handling and storage of the PUSH-OP
deadbreak connector to minimize the possibility of damage.
If the connector is to be stored for any length of time prior
to installation, provide a clean, dry storage area.

DANGER
Hazardous Voltage. All associated apparatus must be
de-energized during any hands-on installation or main-
tenance. Failure to comply could result in death and
severe personal injury.
WARNING
Optional Capacitive Test Point Operating Instructions:
Use only voltage indicating instruments specifically
designed for test points. Use of conventional voltage
sensing devices may provide false “No Voltage”
indications.
The test point must be dry and free of contaminant’s
when checking for voltage. After indication is taken:
clean, dry, and lubricate the test point cap with silicone
grease and assemble to the test point.
The capacitive test point is not sufficiently accurate,
nor is it intended for, actual voltage measurements or
phasing operations.
A reading of no voltage from the test point should not
be the only indication of a de-energized circuit obtained
before touching the connector. Other procedures can
include direct conductor voltage testing or grounding
using a live-line tool.
