High Voltage Electric Arc Hazard.
Can cause death, severe personal injury or property damage.
Install switchgear with appropriate safeguards to prevent
unauthorized switch operation (such as padlocking the side
operator door) according to your companys approved prac-
tices.

sized for the cable used
200 amp bushing inserts
Grounding clamps for concentric
neutrals and surge arresters
Driven grounding rod(s)
Conductors and terminals to

connector sealing paste ZLN or
equivalent)
Fuses appropriate to this installa-
tion (if needed)
Fault indicator(s) (if needed)
Surge arresters and conductor (if
needed)
Note: System Overvoltage Control.
Any open point such as an open
switch represents a discontinuity
in an electrical circuit. A traveling
wave, be it a switching surge or
lightning stroke, will be reflected
when it reaches a discontinuity.
The voltage magnitude, due to re-
flection and doubling effects, may
exceed the Lightning Impulse With-
stand Level ratings across the open
gap of the switch unless adequate
surge protection devices are em-
ployed to prevent the surge build-
up. The circuit connected to the
opposite side of the switch is an
important factor in determining if
the switch will spark over when
subjected to a voltage surge.
Apply appropriate surge arresters
to both sides of an open switch ac-
cording to your companys prac-
tices. Place arresters at all switch-
ing points. Install low-resistance
grounds for proper arrester opera-
tion.
We recommend deadfront MOV type
arresters be employed piggyback on
the 600 amp connectors inside the
enclosures switched way termination
compartment or arresters be installed
in splicing vaults adjacent to the
padmounted switch. Surge arresters
must always be used on dip poles
where overhead conductors go under-
ground.

 5 Site Preparation
5a Site Preparation
Note: The following assumes a new
installation. For rework or retrofit-
ting on an existing switchgear in-
stallation, always follow your
companys accepted practices.
Step 1 - Select Pad Site
Select a site that DOES NOT flood
Select a pad location that will
allow all enclosure doors to be
opened and secured in the open
position
Make allowances to permit
adequate space for appropriate
live-line tool operation of all
connectors after installation is final
Take into account final grading of
surrounding ground if final grading
is not completed
5b Pad Construction
Step 1 Construct Pad
Prepare/install a pad in accor-
dance with your companys
practices that will support the
weight on the bearing surfaces of
the switchgear enclosure, and will
remain level throughout the
expected life of the installation
Construct pad so water will drain
and not stand under switchgear
Locate and position all cables and
anchor bolts according to the
Anchor Bolt Layout drawing
Pad for switchgear should pro-
trude above grade (recommended
three inches minimum/75 mm) to
keep the enclosure mounting
surface from excessively corrosive
conditions
12
Note: Pad foundation must be prop-
erly prepared, particularly when the
switchgear is located in a newly
filled area and will not be subject
to frost heave.
5c Cable Preparation
Step 1 Position Cables
Locate all switched, fused and/or
tapped way cables
Mark each cable for its respective
phase orientation for this installa-
tion (e.g.: A-B-CC-B-A)
Refer to anchor bolt layout for
approximate cable center loca-
tions
Position cables in approximate
final location and check to be sure
sufficient cable length is available
for the installation. Remedy any
length problems according to your
companys practices if needed.
5d Grounding Provisions
Step 1 Install Grounding
Provisions
Install a 2/0 minimum copper rod
or cable, or equivalent grounding
source
Provide sufficient conductor
lengths to each end of the pad for
grounding the enclosure per your
companys practices

10 Maintenance
Prolong the life of the Padmounted
Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS) with a
periodic inspection and maintenance
program. Although the switchgear is
designed for long-term exposure in all
weather conditions, certain environ-
ments may reduce its life without pe-
riodic maintenance. Following these
minimum inspection and maintenance
procedures will help ensure long ser-
vice life.
Note: It is recommended that all
switchgear undergo a maintenance
check at least once a year; more fre-
quently if located in a contaminated
area. De-energize switch and estab-
lish all required safety grounds
before performing any internal
maintenance. Follow all estab-
lished company safety practices.
9a Venting Enclosure
Note: Certain operating environ-
ments are conducive to creating
ozone which may cause formalde-
hyde to form inside the enclosure.
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas
that stings the eyes and is highly
irritating to the nose and throat.
Formaldehyde and humidity com-
bine to produce a highly corrosive/
erosive environment detrimental to
switchgear components.
Step 1 Vent Enclosure
Periodically vent the enclosure to
reduce accumulation of formalde-
hyde and humidity inside the
enclosure
Note: Follow all your companys
safety practices when accessing
the interior of this switchgear.
