Operating instructions

3M 200 Amp Industrial Loadbreak Protective Cap 5810-PC-15, 1 kit/Case is designed to electrically insulate and mechanically seal load break bushing interfaces. When mated to a load break product and the drain wire is attached to ground, it provides a fully shielded, submersible insulating cover for energized bushings. The cap can be used for permanent or temporary installation on bushings, junctions, or feedthru devices that meet the requirements of ANSI/IEEE Standard 386.

Always attach drain wire to the system ground bus to assure the absence of capacitance build-up within the cap. Product No. 5810-PC-15 is specifically designed for 15 kV bushing voltage ratings.

1.0 General
The 3M
™
Industrial Insulated Protective Cap is an
accessory device designed to electrically insulate and
mechanically seal loadbreak bushing interfaces. When
mated to a loadbreak product and the drain wire is
attached to ground, the Insulated Protective Cap provides a
fully shielded, submersible insulating cover for energized
bushings. The cap can be used for permanent or temporary
installation on bushings, junctions, or feedthru devices
that meet the requirements of ANSI/IEEE Standard 386.
2.0 Installation
2.1 Grounding
• Always attach drain wire to system ground bus (Figure 1).
2.2 Clean and Lubricate
• Clean and lubricate interface surface of insulated
protective cap. Mating loadbreak bushing must also be
cleaned and lubricated (Figure 2).
• Use lubricant supplied or approved equivalent.
CAUTION: Drain wire
MUST
be attached to system
ground to maintain a deadfront installation and to
assure the absence of a capacitance build-up within the cap.

These instructions do not claim to cover all details or variations in the equipment, procedure, or process described, nor to provide directions for meeting every
contingency during installation, operation, or maintenance.When additional information is desired to satisfy a problem not covered sufficiently for the user’s
purpose, please contact your 3M sales representative.
CAUTION: The 200 ampere insulated protective cap
should be installed, operated and serviced only by
personnel familiar with good safety practice in handling high-
voltage electrical equipment. Be sure that the insulated protective
cap is rated for the intended application before it is installed.
2.3 Install
• Grasp insulated protective cap eye with shotgun stick.
Position tip of probe into end of loadbreak bushing.
• Slowly insert protective cap onto bushing until a slight
bump is felt (Figure 3).
• Maintaining a firm grasp on the shotgun stick, thrust the
cap the rest of the way onto the bushing.
• Be sure the cap’s internal retaining ring latches when
cap is installed.
3.0 Removal
• Grasp insulated protective cap’s operating eye with a
shotgun stick.
• Twist the shotgun stick clockwise to break any surface
friction (Figure 4).
• Withdraw cap from bushing with a quick, even tug.
