tightened to a maximum torque of 250 inch-pounds.
Greater torque may damage the bushing flange. Bolts
should be tightened in an alternating diagonal pattern to
properly seat the gasket. For normal operation, the power
factor check device cap is to be tightened down so that
it seats on the bushing flange ground washer.
Note: Before installing the flange bolt in the ground
washer position, clean the ground washer surface if nec­
essary to assure good contact.)
Specific condenser bushing construction is described in
the following Instruction Leaflets:
Outdoor Condenser Bushing, Type RCP-IL48-061-69
"ASA" Condenser Bushing, Type S
Outdoor Condenser, Type 0, 69 KV-IL-48-061-32
Condenser Bushing Installation
Before installing in the apparatus, wipe the bushing clean
of all dust, grease or particles of packing material using
cloths wrung out of transformer oil, and finish with a dry
cloth.
On Type "OS" bushings, remove the wrapping from
the lower end of the condenser. Do not use knives, scrap­
ers or other sharp objects that could damage the con­
denser. When cleaning the condenser, use a clean cloth
saturated with transformer oil.
It is recommended that condenser bushings which have
been removed for shipment have the power factor and
capacitance measured before they are installed in the
transformer to find if internal shipping damage has oc­
curred. This may avoid expensive disassembly from the
transformer, and later questions of bushing quality when
power factor tests are made on the transformer.
Important: It should be noted that the normal inherent
power factor of these bushings is so low that the correct
values of the bushing power factor may be greatly dis­
torted if either of the porcelain surfaces are dirty or wet,
if tests were made with the bushing near wet or grounded
surfaces, or if external parts are connected to the bush­
ings.

gasket in the recess should be covered with gasket cement
