Failure to follow these instructions can cause serious injury or death.

•  This IntelliRupter

®

 PulseCloser

®

 Fault Interrupter must be installed, grounded 

and operated ONLY by qualified personnel familiar with high-voltage electrical 

equipment, associated safety practices, and potential hazards.

•  Before energization, and at all times when energized, the IntelliRupter fault 

interrupter base must be connected to a suitable earth ground at the base

of the pole in accordance with the S&C instruction sheet furnished with this 

device.

•  The IntelliRupter fault interrupter base ground must also be connected to the 

system neutral. If the system neutral is not present, proper precautions must 

be taken to ensure that the local earth ground cannot be severed or removed.

•  To ensure safe and effective installation and operation, follow procedures 

in the S&C instruction sheet furnished with this device EXACTLY.

•  For additional S&C instruction sheets, call 1-773-338-1000.

  DANGER

Interrupters and terminals pads may be energized 
from either side and in position.
ALWAYS
 consider all parts live until de-energized, 
tested, and grounded. To avoid electrical shock, the 
IntelliRupter
