Product information Introduction
Eaton's Cooper Power Systems 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.
Handling and storage
Be careful during handling and storage of the loadbreak
bushing insert to minimize the possibility of damage. If the loadbreak bushing insert is to be stored for any length of time prior to installation, provide a clean, dry storage area.
Standards
ISO 9001 Certified Quality Management System
The bushing insert meets all the requirements of IEEE Std
386 standard and is completely interchange-able with mating products that also meet IEEE Std 386 standard. When mated with a comparably rated component, the bushing insert provides a fully shielded and submersible connection for loadbreak operation.
WARNING All associated apparatus must be de-energized during any hands-on installation or maintenance. Failure to comply may result in death, severe personal injury, and equipment damage.
CAUTION The 200 A loadbreak bushing insert is designed to be operated in accordance with normal safe operating procedures. These instructions are not intended to supersede or replace existing safety and operating procedures. The elbow connector should be installed and serviced only by personnel familiar with good safety practices and the handling of high-voltage electrical equipment.

Acceptance and initial inspection
Each loadbreak bushing insert is in good condition when
accepted by the carrier for shipment. Upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for signs of damage. Unpack the loadbreak bushing insert and inspect it thoroughly for damage incurred during shipment. If damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier immediately.

Installation instructions Step 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.)
Step 2A.
Install using installation torque tool (LBITOOL)
Insert torque tool (LBITOOL) into bushing insert, turning
tool slightly to engage hex-broach. Place threaded end of bushing insert into bushing well. Turn clockwise until torque tool makes an audible click. The torque tool tightens the bushing insert to approximately 15 ft-lbs. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3. Insert torque tool and tighten to bushing well
(15 kV version shown).
Step 2B.
Install without using installation torque tool (LBITOOL)
Place threaded end of bushing insert into bushing well.
If installing using a torque tool other than the LBITOOL, the torque setting should be set for 15 ft-lbs. If installing without a torque tool, turn the insert clockwise until it bottoms on the bushing well stand (approximately 7-71/2 turns).
Step 3.
Ground
Attach one end of a #14 AWG copper wire to one of the
ground tabs of the bushing insert. Attach other end of wire to ground. (See Figure 4.)
Step 4.
Cover interface
Do not leave bushing interface exposed.
Cover with an appropriate mating product using the instructions supplied. DO NOT USE SHIPPING CAP.
Figure 4. Attach ground lead (15 kV version shown).
ATTENTION: This bushing is equipped with Eaton's Cooper
Power Systems exclusive latch indicator ring, that serves as a visual indicator to verify that the mating component is properly seated on the bushing insert. Once the mating component has been properly installed on the bushing, the yellow ring should be completely covered. If any yellow is visible, the elbow or protective cap must be completely installed or latched before energizing to assure a quality connection.

Removal instructions
De-energize apparatus and verify apparatus is
de-energized. Remove mating products and place in stand-off device or in a clean, dry location. Remove ground wire. Use either a 5/16" hex drive tool, torque tool or a strap wrench to remove.
If a hex-drive tool is used, insert drive into insert,
turning tool slightly to engage hex-broach. Turn counterclockwise to remove. If a strap wrench is used, wrap around the collar of the bushing insert. Turn counter-clockwise to remove. Take care not to damage bushing interface during this procedure.
Fault close
1. It is not recommended that operations be made on
known faults. 2. If a fault is experienced, both the elbow connector and the bushing must be replaced.
Loadbreak operation
1. Securely fasten a clampstick to the pulling eye of the
mating loadbreak elbow. 2. Without exerting any pulling force, slightly rotate the elbow clockwise to break surface friction between the elbow and bushing. 3. Withdraw the elbow from the bushing with a fast, firm, straight motion, being careful not to place the connector near a ground plane.
WARNING The operator should always use personal protective equipment (insulated gloves, clampstick and eye protection) whenever operating the elbow. The operator should always be in the best possible operating position, providing firm footing and enabling a secure grasp of the clampstick, while maintaining positive control of the elbow before, during and immediately after operation. If there is any question regarding the operators operating position, de-energize the elbow before operation. The operator should not be looking directly at the connector during the moment of circuit interruption or connection. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury and equipment damage.
Operating instructions Do not connect two different phases of a multiple-phase system. Before closing a single-phase loop, make certain both ends of the loop are the same phase.
Loadmake operation
1. Area must be clear of obstructions or contaminants
that would interfere with the operation of the loadbreak elbow. 2. Securely fasten a clampstick to the pulling eye. 3. Place the loadbreak elbow over the bushing, inserting the white arc follower of the probe into the bushing approximately 2 1/2" until a slight resistance is felt. 4. Immediately thrust the elbow onto the bushing with a fast, firm, straight motion, with sufficient force to latch the elbow to the bushing. 5. Push again on the elbow with the clampstick, and then pull gently to make sure that it is secure.
4. Place the elbow on an appropriate accessory device,
following the operating instructions for that accessory. 5. Place an insulated protective cap with drain wire attached to system ground on any exposed energized bushing using a clampstick.
