BUS
The head should be a minimum distance of 2a
from another bus carrying equal or less
current. If the other bus carries higher current,
the distance should be greater, e.g., 3a.
The head should be located a minimum
distance of 2a from a 90° bend in the bus.
If the head is to be installed on a U-section of
the bus, the distance between the parallel
bus sections must be a minimum of 4a, and
the head should be centered between them.
If the head is to be installed on a T- section
of the bus, it should be located a minimum
distance of 4a from the joining point.

Figure 5.2 General Guidelines for Locating Measuring Heads
5.5 HEAD INSTALLATION
The Measuring Head is comprised of four quarters assembled in the following sequence:
A1, A2, B1, B2, as shown in Figure 5.1. Each quarter is marked with the appropriate letter
on the side of the head (near the cable connector), or the serial number tag on each
quarter ends with a /A1, /A2, /B1, and B2. Each quarter can weigh up to about 882 lb. (400
kg), so a heavy-duty forklift or winch is almost necessary to handle this installation. It is
also recommended that appropriate sized eyebolts be used in conjunction with the straps
to lift the head.
