Installing a TripSaver II
Cutout-Mounted Recloser
Follow these steps to install a TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted
Recloser:
STEP 1. For Overhead Pole-Top Style TripSaver II
recloser: Attach the mounting to its mounting
bracket, as illustrated in Figure 3. A mounting
bracket—suitable for crossarm, pole, or wall
mounting—is furnished only if specied
through the addition of sufx “-B” or “-C” to the
TripSaverII catalog number. Note the placement
of the external-tooth lockwasher between the
mounting bracket and the center insert of the
mounting. Pivot the mounting to a position that
will provide maximum ease of operation, then
securely tighten the carriage-bolt nut.
STEP 2. Make electrical connections to the mounting. If
aluminum conductors are used, be sure to wire-
brush them and then apply a coating of oxidation
inhibitor before inserting them into the
connectors.
STEP 3. Conrm the TripSaverII recloser’s drop-open
mechanism is latched. If the mechanism is
unlatched, the trunnion will be loose and can be
pushed into the body of the TripSaverII recloser.
The drop-open mechanism can be reset by
following the instructions shown in the
“Manually Resetting a TripSaver II Recloser”
section on page 29.
