INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
"JBR" RECEPTACLE: 30AMP & 60AMP
C. On all conduits, reducer bushings and close-up plugs, grease must be used to completely seal out water.
• Appleton Electric, LLC thread lubricant, part number TLC-3 is recommended to be applied on threads in
--three generous lines running parallel to the thread axis and spaced equidistant around the thread.
D. Conduits and close-up plugs must be turned in until snug and then 1/2 turn further with a wrench.
• Do not over-tighten as damage to the housing threads or reducer bushings may occur.
• Make sure any installed breathers and drains are tightened in the same manner.
E. At this point ensure that all threaded holes in the housing are closed to prevent entry of rain, splashed water,
and hose directed water, and also to comply with Class I and Class II hazardous location requirements.
• This includes openings for breathers and drain.
5. WIRING:
A. Referring to "Figure B", feed power supply wiring into hous-
ing (4) through conduit entries.
B. Strip the individual conductors per "Table E".
C. Connect wires to the proper terminal block lug (5) location by loosening (but not removing) terminal block
set screw (6). Insert conductors including all strands into lugs according to your established wiring scheme.
Tighten set screws (6) to the appropriate value shown in "Table A". Please note the wire markers on the wires
(7) connected between the disconnect switch and terminal block lugs (5). These wire markers correspond to
the contact identi
fi
cation markings found on the back of the receptacle contact block.
6. ELECTRICAL TESTING:
All wiring must be checked and tested to ensure that all circuits are according to plan and that there are no
unwanted opens, shorts or grounds. Do not apply power until the following steps are completed:
A. Test to verify correct phasing and ground connections.
B. Test insulation resistance by meggering, high voltage or hi-pot test, to be sure the system does not have any
short circuits or unwanted grounds.
7. CLEAN RECEPTACLE COVER AND HOUSING:
Before replacing or closing the receptacle cover, it is strongly recommended that all dirt, debris and other
foreign materials be removed from the housing interior.
• This action should be taken to help keep the breathers and drains from being plugged by these materials.
• Make sure the housing
fl
ange surface is clean. Wipe it with a clean, dry cloth to remove any foreign
materials.
• Clean the mating surface of the receptacle cover in the same manner while being careful not to damage
the gasket.
8. REPLACE RECEPTACLE COVER:
A. If the receptacle cover was removed, carefully rehang the cover on the hinges while the cover is positioned
approximately 90 degrees from the housing.
B. Referring to "Figure A", connect the wires (7) that are leading out of the disconnect switch to the terminal
block lugs (5) in ascending order from left to right. Note the wire markers that are on these wires. Each of
these is numbered to correspond to the phase identi
fi
cation numbers. Torque each terminal block lug
screw (6) to the value shown in "Table A", depending on wire size used.
WARNING
• "JBR" Receptacle is designed and tested for use with
copper conductors only.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRING
as dangerous over-
heating and
fi
re may result.
WARNING
Electrical power must be turned "OFF" before and during
installation and maintenance.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL
INJURIES DUE TO ELECTROCUTION.
