Terminal options
SPEAR single-phase reclosers can be specified with eyebolt 
terminals (400 A , 630 A, and 800 A), two-hole (400 A, 
630 A) or four-hole (800 A) flat-pad terminals, or stud-type 
terminals (400 A, 630 A, and 800 A).
The eyebolt, flat-pad, and stud terminals are made of 
copper alloys. Eaton recommends terminal connection 
to copper wires to optimize the electrical connection. 
Aluminum cables may produce aluminum oxide sufficient to 
compromise the electrical connections.
Anti-oxide coatings for temporary protection of wire-
brushed, aluminum cable connections to flat-pad or stud 
terminals must be maintained at intervals determined by 
the customer based on load current, climate, and other 
installation conditions.
Copper conductors only are recommended for eyebolt 
terminals.
Mounting hangers
Crossarm mounting hanger
A crossarm mounting hanger is available for crossarm 
installation. These are available in sets of two; one set is 
needed for each SPEAR single-phase recloser. To order this 
accessory, specify part number KA39H2.
Pole-mounting accessory
The 15 kV and 27 kV SPEAR single-phase reclosers can 
be directly mounted to the pole using the built-in tank 
mounting channels for BIL rating of 125 kV and lower.  Due 
to electrical clearances, the pole-mounting hanger accessory 
is recommended for mounting either the 27kV (with 150 kV 
BIL accessory), or 38 kV (170 kV BIL) SPEAR single-phase 
recloser to the pole. To order this accessory, specify part 
number KSPR-364.
