How to Install the 373J2-5 Loadbreak Junction

This guide provides instructions for the safe mounting and initial setup of the 373J2-5, 373J3-5, or 373J4-5 two-, three-, or four-point loadbreak junctions. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation and follow all safety practices for high voltage electrical equipment.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Drill, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Grounding Lug (if mounting on insulating surface), 14AWG Minimum Ground Wire (if mounting on insulating surface), Elastimold Insulated Caps (270DR or 370DR, for unused bushings), Silicone Lubricant

  1. Determine Location and Drill Mounting Holes

    Determine the desired location for the junction assembly on the mounting surface. Using the provided dimensions (e.g., 4.000, 2.000, 2.500, 1.125, 3.00 Dia. Hole, .375 Dia. Hole as shown in the diagram for J2, J3, or J4 models), drill the necessary mounting holes for the junction and hold-down brackets.

  2. Assemble and Mount the Junction

    Assemble the loadbreak junction, shield plate, and hold-down brackets using the supplied fasteners. Attach the assembled unit to the prepared flat surface. Securely tighten all fasteners to prevent any movement during operation. CAUTION: The shield plate, hold-down brackets, and black conductive rubber shield must be grounded. If the mounting surface is conductive and grounded, no other ground is necessary. For insulating mounting surfaces, attach a grounding lug (not provided) with one of the mounting bolts and connect a minimum 14AWG ground wire to a ground bus.

  3. Install Insulated Caps on Unused Bushings

    Before energizing the circuit, install appropriate Elastimold insulated caps (270DR for 25kV class or 370DR for 35kV class) on any unused bushings. Do not use the protective shipping caps for this purpose, as they are not insulated and are only intended to keep the bushing surfaces clean during handling and installation.
