Installation guidelines
1/2" Flat washer
1/2-13 Hex nut
Connect the sections using the provided hardware,
consisting of ½-13" bolts. Torque to 40-50 ft-lbs.
The hardware bag is typically affixed to the front of
the switchgear shipping split.
After connecting the sections, you can attach the
lineup to the floor (see below).
Splice horizontal busbars
Note: The fasteners provided with the switchgear
include an integrated thread coating that helps
ensure they will remain at the torque value.
The bus in each section is designed to allow
splicing with the bus of the adjacent sections to
create a continuous horizontal bus. The splice links
are located on the right-hand side for the neutral
and phase A, and on the left-hand side for phases B
and C of each section. Slide the splice links to the
right or left to connect the bus to the adjacent
section.
1. After installing and connecting the shipping
splits, connect the main horizontal bus splice
links and tighten the hardware to the specified
torque. Splice kits supplied from the factory are
installed on the right-hand side for neutral and
phase A, and on the left-hand for phases B and C
of each shipping split.

2. Loosen the bolts holding the splice link(s) in
place and slide the link(s) to straddle the
horizontal bus in the adjacent (right/left-hand)
section. Carefully position each splice link so that
it straddles the bus equally on both the left- and
right-hand sections.
The maximum gap between the left and right
busbar should be 0.9 in +/- 0.1 in (25 mm +/- 3 mm).
