600 A 35 kV Class T-OP II connector assembly installation instructions
1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MN650051EN May 2017
DANGER
Hazardous voltage. Contact with high voltage will cause
death or severe personal injury. All associated apparatus
must be de-energized during any hands-on installation
or maintenance.
WARNING
Capacitive Test Point Operating Warning. Misuse of
capacitive test points can result in death, severe
personal injury, and equipment damage. 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.

Product information
Introduction
The Eaton Cooper Power series 600 A, 35 kV Class T-OP
II Deadbreak Connectors are used to terminate high
voltage underground cables to deadfront ap pa ra tus such
as transformers, switches, and switchgear. They are fully
shielded, submersible, and meet the requirements of IEEE
Std 386™ standard – Separable Insulated Connector Systems.
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 representative.
Acceptance and initial inspection
Each 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
deadbreak 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 deadbreak
connector to minimize the possibility of damage. If the
deadbreak connector is to be stored for any length of time prior
to installation, provide a clean, dry storage area.
