How to Install the 1601EA4 Loadbreak Bushing Insert
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of the 1601EA4 Loadbreak Bushing Insert. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation, and only competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment should perform this procedure.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
200AT assembly tool, Suitable rod, Wire strippers, Crimping tool
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (supplied), No. 14 AWG (2,5mm2) copper wire, Electrical connector (for grounding wire), HV insulated cap or connector (if not immediately mated)
- Perform Initial Safety Checks and Prepare Bushing Well
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting installation. This product should only be installed by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment. Inspect the apparatus bushing well to ensure it is dry and free from all contaminants. Remove the protective shipping cap from the bushing insert. Lubricate the bushing well interface area of the bushing insert with the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricants. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants as they may be harmful to this product and its mating products.
- Install Bushing Insert Manually
Place the lubricated portion of the bushing insert into the apparatus bushing well. Hand tighten the bushing insert in a clockwise direction until it bottoms firmly.
- (Alternate) Install Bushing Insert with 200AT Tool
If using the 200AT assembly tool, first place the lubricated portion of the bushing insert into the apparatus bushing well. Insert the 200AT assembly tool into the bore of the bushing insert until it is fully seated. Insert a suitable rod through the eye of the 200AT tool and turn it in a clockwise direction. Continue rotating the eye of the 200AT until it begins to ratchet, which signifies that the proper assembly torque has been reached. Remove the 200AT from the bushing insert.
- Connect Electrostatic Grounding Wire
Push a length of No. 14 AWG (2,5mm2) copper wire or equivalent through one of the grounding tabs on the bushing insert. Make a small loop and twist it tight, taking care not to damage the grounding tab. Connect the free end of the electrostatic grounding wire to the system ground using a suitable electrical connector. Ensure the grounding wire is installed so it does not contact the bushing interface, adjacent bushing interfaces, or interfere with nearby accessories.
- Prepare for Mating Products or Cap
Thoroughly wipe the bushing interface clean of any contaminants and lubricate it with the supplied lubricant. Install the mating products to the bushing insert following their specific instructions. If the bushing insert will not be immediately mated with an elbow connector, insulated cap, or grounding elbow connector, replace the shipping cap. WARNING: Do not energize or submerge the apparatus with the shipping cap on the bushing insert, as it is not insulated or watertight.
- Verify Seating Indication
Verify the complete assembly of an insulated cap or elbow by ensuring no portion of the red interface sleeve is visible when viewed from the side. This indicates proper seating.
