Introduction
Eaton’s Cooper Power series 600 A, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 
kV Insulated Standoff Bushing meets the full requirements 
of ANSI
®
/IEEE Standard 386
™
 — Separable Insulated 
Connector Systems, and provides a single deadbreak 
interface made of high-quality insulating epoxy material. It 
is used in pad-mounted cabinets, underground vaults and 
other apparatus to isolate and sectionalize an energized 
cable. The Insulated Standoff Bushing is designed to be 
installed in the parking stand mounted on a transformer 
or other apparatus. A grounding lug is provided on the 
standoff bracket for attachment of a ground wire to ensure 
deadfront construction. The bushing provides a fully 
shielded, submersible connection for deadbreak operation. 
All standoff bushing brackets have a stainless steel eyebolt 
with a brass pressure foot. The bushing body is bolted to 
a stainless steel base bracket using a stainless steel bolt. 
Special pins ensure firm location of the bushing on the 
bracket.
