NOTICE
Inadequate Transformer Protection
Do not substitute any other fuse.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Installing the Fuse

  1. Review the assembly drawings to ensure the shipping sections are assembled in the correct order. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.

  2. The fuses are shipped as a kit in a separate cradle. Locate the fuses and confirm the ratings match the order specifications.

  3. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that power is off. Always wear personal protective equipment appropriate for the hazard when handling the fuses.

  4. To install for the first time:

    1. To install the fuse for indoor applications, access the fuse compartment from the front and side. Remove the front and side panels as shown in the figures below.

      Front and side panels

      A: 7 HM6x20 + CS washers

      B: 3 HM6x20 + CS washers + grooved flanged nuts

      A: Insulation boots (One per phase)

      B: Primary fuses

      C: Insulation barriers

      D: Control power transformer

      NOTE: When removing the front metal barrier, the main ground connection fixation hardware is removed.
    2. To install the fuse for outdoor applications, access the fuse compartment from the front and rear. Remove the front and rear panels as shown in the figures below.

      Front and rear panels

    3. Cut the wire ties temporarily holding the boot in place. Open the boot and move it from the top fuse holder, then carefully push the boot down. Note that the CPT primary cable passes through the insulated boot at the lower fuse holder, so move the boot carefully as shown in the figure below. Follow this procedure for both fuses.

      Boot removal

    4. Wearing personal protective equipment, grasp the fuse near the fuse clip and gently pull while rotating the fuse to help ease it into the fuse holder. Insert the fuses one end at a time into the fuse clips.

  5. Carefully move the boot and position it so it covers the body of the fuse and fuse holder. These boots are designed to be closed by wire ties. Make sure that all the wire ties are installed on each hole provided to close the gaps between the boot lips.

  6. DANGER
    HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
    • Ensure that all fuses and red boots and barriers are properly installed.
    • Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on the power supply.
    Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

    Replace all the covers, doors, and side panels removed on previous steps. Ensure that the ground connection is installed and tightened properly as shown:
