Visible break and visible ground using BOL-T
terminations
Step 1
Clean and lubricate apparatus
Clean and lubricate interfaces of protective caps and
standoff bushings using lubricant supplied or Eaton
equivalent.
Step 2
Install standoff bushing
Attach a #14 AWG copper drain wire from the standoff
bracket ground lug to system ground.
Securely fasten a clampstick to the eyebolt on standoff
bushing bracket and use the clampstick to position the
standoff in standoff pocket. Tighten eyebolt against
apparatus wall.
Step 3
Remove "C" connector
Secure loadbreak “C” (LCN) connector operating eye firmly
onto clampstick and lock.
Thrust clampstick
forward
until the connector moves
approximately 1/4" (5 mm) further onto the bushings. This
action will break any surface friction between outer surfaces
of bushings and inner surfaces of connector interfaces. The
yellow latch indicator rings on the bushings should now be
visible in the cuff windows of the connector.
Looking away from the connector, pull the clampstick and
withdraw the connector from bushings with a fast, firm,
straight motion. Minimum amount of travel of connector to
break load is 9" (230 mm). See Figure 18.
Using the clampstick, move the connector away from
the bushings and place the metallic portion of one of the
probes directly onto a ground plane. This will discharge any
capacitive charge that may still be on the probes.
Install “C” connector on Cleer standoff bushing.
Step 4
Install insulated protective cap
Attach Cleer loadbreak protective cap drain wire to system
ground.
Using a clampstick, install a Cleer 600 A loadbreak
protective cap on the source-side loadbreak bushing. See
Figure 19.

WARNING
Visibly inspect grounding elbows, cables, ferrules, and
clamps prior to installation to ensure they are complete,
undamaged, and there is no corrosion or breakage.
Damaged or worn grounding equipment can result in
equipment failure that could cause property destruction
or personal injury.
WARNING
All associated apparatus must be de-energized during
installation or maintenance.
