Installation of insulated
terminal boots
Step 1
As shown in
Figure 1
, open the “clam-shell”
shaped boot with the “hinge” area away from the
cable path. Flex and install the boot so that the
opening in the boot will surround the conductor
between the glass-polyester conductor support
and the cables. Orient the boot so that the
terminal adapter copper bar will be encased inside.
