commissioning report,“ page 32).
Torque requirements for all hardware are as
follows:
.38 inch: (31 lbf-ft ± 5 lbf-ft)
.50 inch: (75 lbf-ft ± 9 lbf-ft)
.62 inch: (120 lbf-ft ± 20 lbf-ft)
.75 inch: (250 lbf-ft ± 40 lbf-ft).
Preparatory work
Both the installation and commissioning
report (see page 32) and these installation
instructions are based on the sequence of the
work to be performed. The on-site conditions
may result in deviations from the sequence
shown.
The following preparatory work must be
performed:
Instruct installation and maintenance
personnel with regard to:
1. Safety
2. Cleanliness at installation site
3. Safety markings
4. Dealing with incidents or unexpected
conditions
Check delivery documents for
completeness
Check all shipping units for shipping
damage
Inspect power pole ground conductor and
install ground conductor, if necessary
If installation is on a substation frame,
check the foundation for the substation
frame and install ground connection, if
required.
Mounting the recloser on the pole
The recloser is mounted in several steps.
Refer to the frame installation drawing
provided with the order specific drawings for
information on mounting frames.
Lifting the recloser switch unit
Figure 18: Lifting of the switch unit shows the
proper technique for lifting the switch unit.
The lifting cables should be attached to all
four lifting lugs and the lifting cables must
not touch the encapsulated pole units.
