Eaton COOPER POWER SERIES User manual

600 A 15/25 kV class insulated
protective cap
Description
Eaton meets the full requirements of IEEE Std
386™-2006 standard – Separable Insulated
Connector Systems, and provides insulated, fully
shielded submersible protection for energized
15 and 25 kV class deadbreak interfaces with
its Cooper Power™ series 600 A, 15/25 kV class
insulated protective cap. The cap is required
for temporary or permanent installation on
15/25kV deadbreak bushings, junctions and other
accessories having interfaces that conform to IEEE
Std 386™-2006 standard.
The cap design includes a semiconducting EPDM
insert for stress relief and high quality peroxide
cured EPDM insulation. The molded EPDM semi-
conducting shield maintains ground potential
on the cap’s surface when the drain wire is
connected to a common ground.

protective cap. Bottom image shows U-OP™/
T-OP™ II connector insulated protective cap.)
Installation
No special tools are required. A hotstick tool is
used to place the protective cap on a de-energized
bushing. Refer to Service Literature S600-63-1
15, 25, and 35 kV Protective Cap Installation
Instructions for further information.
