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.
