Operation
Figure 31. The Loadbuster tool attached to a TripSaver II Cutout-
Mounted Recloser.
WARNING
When operating from a bucket truck, stay at least
5 feet (152 cm) below the recloser. Operating the
Loadbuster tool from less than 5 feet away is difficult
and may result in an improper opening operation,
leading to arcing, faults, equipment damage, serious
injury, or death.
STEP 3. To open the circuit, operate the Loadbuster tool
with a rm, steady pull until it is extended to
its maximum length. A downward pull to open
the TripSaver II recloser extends the
Loadbuster tool and charges an internal spring.
At a predetermined point in the opening
stroke, a trigger inside the tool trips, releasing
the charged spring—thus separating the
internal contacts and interrupting the circuit.
Successful operation is independent of the
speed with which the Loadbuster tool is opened.
See Figure 32. Avoid jerking and hesitation. The
resetting latch will keep it open. Generally,
there is no indication of circuit interruption.
The only sound is that of a Loadbuster tool
tripping.
STEP 4. To detach the Loadbuster tool after circuit
interruption, rst raise it slightly and disengage
the anchor from the attachment hook.
