Industrial Loadbreak Bushing Insert
200 A
15 kV Class
5810 Series
Installation Instructions
1.0 General
The 3M
™
Industrial Loadbreak Bushing Insert threads into
a universal bushing well to provide the same function as
an integral loadbreak bushing. Using bushing inserts
makes field installation and replacement possible and
efficient. Bushing Inserts and elbow connectors comprise
the essential components of all loadbreak connections.
The bushing insert meets all the requirements of
ANSI/IEEE Standard 386 and is completely interchange-
able with mating products that also meet ANSI/IEEE
Standard 386. When mated with a comparably rated
component, the bushing insert provides a fully shielded
and submersible connection for loadbreak operation.
2.0 Installation
2.1 Clean and Lubricate
• Remove red shipping cap. Do not energize bushing
with shipping cap installed.
• Clean bushing well and apply a thin uniform coating of
silicone lubricant. (See Figure 1.)
• Clean mating interface of bushing insert and apply a thin,
uniform coating of silicone lubricant. (See Figure 2.)
2.2 Installation
• Place threaded end of bushing insert into bushing well.
• If installing using a torque tool, the torque setting should
be set for 15 ft-lbs. (See Figure 3.)
• If installing without a torque tool, turn the insert
clockwise until it bottoms on the bushing well stud
(approximately 7–7
1
⁄
2
turns).
CAUTION:
The 200 A bushing insert should be installed,
operated and serviced only by personnel familiar with good
safety practice in handling high-voltage electrical equipment. Be
sure that the bushing insert is rated for the intended application
before it is installed.
