Safe-Lec 2 Conductor Bar Manual
SECTION 13 - POWERFEED AND COVER ASSEMBLY
Installation Over 250 Up to 400 Amps (p/n XA-310912B)
1. Assemble joint to conductor bar as described previously (do not fit washers and nuts).
2. Fit powerfeed top hat assembly to joint assembly. On copper and aluminum conductors apply Electrical Joint Compound (EJC)
between mating surfaces.
3. Discard spring washers originally fitted to the joint assembly and fit external tooth lock washers (supplied in the kit) along with nuts
and tighten to a recommended torque of 8 Nm (5-6 ft-lbs).
4. Fit powerfeed joint cover as shown previously.
5. Apply EJC between mating surfaces on powerfeed top hat assembly and powerfeed shunt link.
6. Place powerfeed shunt link over powerfeed top hat assembly and secure with screws. Torque to 8 Nm (5-6 ft-lbs).
7. Cut out grommet using suitable knife and fit over cable.
8. Crimp terminal to supply cable. (See list of recommended terminals).
9. Ensure the terminal is properly crimped as failure to do so will result in over-heating on the powerfeed assembly.
10. Apply EJC to the center arc of powerfeed shunt link.
11. Fit lug to the center powerfeed shunt link and secure using bolt, washer, and nut in the order shown. Torque to 8 Nm (5-6 ft-lbs).
12. Fit powerfeed cover to assembly.
13. Ensure both grommets are fitted to powerfeed cover before closing halves together.
14. Make sure the legs of the cover fit under the conductor cover support ears. A little pressure at points “x-x” will ensure this.
15. Fit powerfeed case clip assembly to powerfeed cover and secure with screws.
