4.8.1. Preparing the main bus bushing
On each phase main bus tank, remove the plastic dust covers from
the main bus bushings by removing (3) M8 bolts. Using the supplied
special cleaning wipes, clean the red epoxy parts of the main bus
bushing. Allow to air dry after cleaning.
4.8.2. Inspect and clean
Power Xpert IGX Main Bus require an accompanying insulating
sheath. All bus links, insulating sheaths, ground wires and
terminations must be inspected for damage or defects prior to
installation.
All Power Xpert IGX insulating sheath mating surfaces must have no
•
Bubbles
•
Scratches
•
Visible damage
•
Foreign material contaminants
•
Evidence of wear
If any surface contamination is noticed on any Main Bus component,
it must be cleaned. Remove any dirt, oil or grease on any silicone
insulator using a soft clean, lint-free wipe.
Clean insulating sheath mating surfaces with cleaning cloths soaked
in cleaning solvent (see
2.2.1. Standard accessories (included with
, furnished as part of Power Xpert IGX hardware
kits. Apply medium force to clean the gray area of the insulating
) where it forms a seal with the main bus
bushing installed in the tank. Never clean outside of the gray area.
The solution may cause a slight expansion of the silicone rubber, so
any cleaned silicone parts must be air-dried for at least 15 minutes
after cleaning.
4.8.3. Installing the main bus link
Install a main bus link into the main bus tank bushing by aligning the
end in center of contact springs and pushing in firmly. A twisting
motion may be used while pushing in to help fully seat the main bus
link. When fully seated, main bus link should be perpendicular to
tank.
