How to Install Elastimold 373J Loadbreak Junction
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of Elastimold 35kV class loadbreak junctions, including mounting, grounding, and preparing bushings for connection.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Drill, Wrench or Socket Set, Cleaning Cloth
Supplies needed:
Elastimold 373J Loadbreak Junction (includes holdown brackets, shield plate, and fasteners), Mounting Bolts/Screws, Grounding Lug (if mounting surface is insulating, not provided), 14AWG Minimum Ground Wire (if mounting surface is insulating, not provided), Silicone Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Elastimold Insulated Caps (e.g., 370DR for 35kV class, for unused bushings)
- De-energize and Inspect Apparatus
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect all package contents and components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Failure to de-energize or inspect can result in serious injury or product failure.
- Determine Mounting Location and Drill Holes
Select the desired mounting location for the junction assembly. Using the provided diagrams (referencing the original document for specific dimensions), drill the necessary mounting holes (e.g., 0.375 inch diameter) into the mounting surface.
- Assemble and Mount the Junction
Assemble the loadbreak junction, shield plate, and holdown brackets using the supplied fasteners. Attach the assembled unit to the prepared flat surface and securely tighten all fasteners to prevent any movement during operation.
- Ground the Assembly
CAUTION: The shield plate, holdown brackets, and black conductive rubber shield must be properly grounded. If the mounting surface is conductive and grounded, no additional grounding is required. For insulating mounting surfaces, attach a grounding lug (not provided) with one of the mounting bolts and connect a minimum 14AWG ground wire from the lug to a ground bus.
- Prepare Bushings for Connection
Remove any protective shipping caps from the bushings and thoroughly clean the bushing surfaces. Apply silicone lubricant (do not substitute) to the bushings before assembling with an Elastimold loadbreak connector. If any bushings remain unused, install appropriate Elastimold insulated caps (e.g., 370DR for 35kV class) on them before energizing the circuit. Do NOT use shipping caps for this purpose as they are not insulated.
