SECTION 12 - LOW AMP JOINT POWERFEED ASSEMBLY
NOTE
• Clean all mating surfaces with 3M Scotch Brite pad, apply a small amount of Electrical Joint Compound (EJC) to all mating parts.
• Apply anti-seize to bolt ends prior to assembly to any stainless steel nuts.
Installation Up to and Including 250 Amps (p/n XA-310910B)
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 bolts and tighten to a recommended torque of 8 Nm (5-6 ft-lbs).
4. Fit joint powerfeed cover as shown previously.
5. Cut out grommet using suitable knife and fit over cable.
6. Crimp terminal to supply cable (see list of recommended terminals).
7. Ensure the terminal is properly crimped as failure to do so will result in over-heating on the powerfeed assembly.
8. Fit terminal to powerfeed top hat assembly and secure using washer and bolts. Torque bolt to 8 Nm (5-6 ft-lbs).
9. There is a second set of hardware (washers and bolt) for use with two cable feeds and should be left tight on powerfeed top hat
assembly if only one feed is used.
10. Fit powerfeed joint cover to assembly.
11. Ensure both grommets are fitted into powerfeed cover before closing halves together.
12. Make sure the legs of the cover fit under the conductor cover support ears (a little pressure at points “x-x” will ensure this).
13. Fit powerfeed case clip assembly to powerfeed cover and secure with screws.
