How to Install the 3701A3 Loadbreak Bushing Insert
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of the 3701A3 Loadbreak Bushing Insert, designed for 35KV class loadbreak connectors.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Pliers, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
3701A3 Loadbreak Bushing Insert, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm²) copper wire, Suitable connector for system ground
- Ensure Safety and Inspect Components
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Follow operating instructions for loadbreak products. Ensure all components are checked for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in high voltage electrical equipment safety practices. Inspect the apparatus bushing well to ensure it is dry and free from all contaminants.
- Lubricate and Prepare the Bushing Insert
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 lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may be harmful to the product.
- Install the Bushing Insert
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.
- Connect the 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 connector. Ensure the grounding wire does not contact the bushing interface, adjacent interfaces, or interfere with accessories on nearby parking stands.
- Prepare for Mating Products or Storage
Thoroughly wipe the bushing interface clean of any contaminants and lubricate with the supplied lubricant. Install the mating products (e.g., elbow connector, insulated cap) to the bushing insert following their specific instructions. If not immediately mating, replace the shipping cover. DANGER: Do not energize or submerge the apparatus with only the shipping cap, as it is not insulated or watertight.
