How to Install the 373J4-6 Loadbreak Junction

This guide provides instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of the Elastimold 373J4-6 two-, three-, or four-point loadbreak junctions, used for sectionalizing, looping, or tapping 35kV class electrical systems.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Drill, Measuring tape, Wrench or Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Loadbreak Junction with Holdown Brackets and Hardware, Shield Plate, Mounting Hardware, Grounding lug (if mounting surface is insulating, not provided), Ground wire (14AWG minimum, if mounting surface is insulating), Silicone lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Elastimold insulated caps (270DR or 370DR, if not all bushings are utilized)

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components

    DANGER: Before beginning installation, ensure all apparatus is completely de-energized. Inspect the contents of the package to confirm all parts are present, undamaged, and compatible with mating products. Read the entire installation instructions before proceeding.

  2. Prepare the Mounting Surface

    Determine the desired location for the junction assembly. Using the provided dimensions (e.g., 4.000, 2.000, 2.500, 1.125 inches for hole spacing and .375 Dia. Hole, 3.00 Dia. Hole for specific models), drill the necessary mounting holes into the flat surface.

  3. Assemble and Secure the Junction

    Assemble the loadbreak junction, shield plate, and hold-down brackets using the supplied fasteners. Attach the entire assembly to the prepared flat surface. Securely tighten all fasteners to prevent any movement during operation.

  4. Ground the Junction Assembly

    CAUTION: Ensure the shield plate, hold-down brackets, and black conductive rubber shield are properly grounded. If the mounting surface is conductive and already grounded, no additional grounding 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 from the lug to a ground bus.

  5. Prepare Bushings for Connection

    Remove any protective shipping caps from the bushings and clean the bushing surfaces. Apply silicone lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE) to the bushings before assembling with an Elastimold loadbreak connector. If any bushings are not utilized, install appropriate Elastimold 270DR (25kV class) or 370DR (35kV class) insulated caps on the unused bushings before energizing the circuit. Do not use the protective shipping caps for this purpose.
