How to Install the 35MTB3-T Bracket Assembly
This guide details the installation of the 35MTB3-T bracket assembly, which mounts a premolded rubber terminator directly to a cross arm and supports the cable. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized and installation is performed by competent personnel trained in high voltage safety practices.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Wrench, Wire strippers, Tape measure
Supplies needed:
Connector Grip, Mounting Bracket, 3/8 x 5” Carriage Bolts with nut and lockwasher (2 sets), 3/8 x 1” LG Hex Bolt with nut and lockwasher (1 set), 1/2 x 1” LG Carriage Bolt with nut and lockwasher (1 set), Weather-proof plastic tape, Suitable grounding connector, Terminator
- Attach Mounting Bracket and Connector Grip
Attach the mounting bracket to a wooden cross arm using the 3/8” x 5” carriage bolts. Secure the connector grip with the 1/2” x 1” carriage bolt. Feed the cable through the connector grip, allowing sufficient cable length for terminator mounting (refer to the terminator instructions for specific length requirements).
- Apply Weather-proof Plastic Tape
Apply weather-proof plastic tape approximately two inches from the bottom end of the wire grip. Tightly wrap the tape with a one-half tape width overlap “down” the grip for approximately one inch onto the cable. Reverse direction “up” and wrap back to the starting point, stretching the tape to approximately one-half its original width during application.
- Install Terminator
Install the terminator by following its specific instructions. This step is crucial for the complete assembly and proper function of the system.
- Ground the Assembly
Ensure the concentric neutral from the cable, the electrostatic drainwire from the terminator, and the mounting bracket are properly grounded. Attach a suitable grounding connector (not supplied) to the mounting hole and bolt provided on the mounting bracket. Failure to properly ground can result in serious injury or equipment damage.
