Reconnecting cable to apparatus bushings
Step 1
Determine that bushings are de-energized
Check apparatus switch and see that it is open. Open
●
●
switch if it is closed. (Refer to Figure 11.)
Grasp 600 A protective cap with shotgun. Rotate
●
●
counterclockwise, until threads are disengaged.
Remove protective cap from the bushing and set aside in
●
●
a clean, protected area.
Using, a volt meter, test apparatus bushing to determine
●
●
that the bushing is de-energized. (Refer to Figure 12.)
Do not proceed until apparatus is de-energized .
