Operation
Figure 21. The Loadbuster Tool attached to a TripSaver Dropout
Recloser.
STEP 3.
Swing the Loadbuster Tool toward the
TripSaver
Dropout Recloser
and pass the Loadbuster Tool's
pull-ring hook through the pull-ring on the
TripSaver Dropout Recloser
. The pull-ring latch
will deflect and upon complete entry of the pull-
ring, will spring back, locking the Loadbuster Tool
to the pull-ring. The Loadbuster Tool is now
connected across the upper contacts of the
TripSaver Dropout Recloser
.
STEP 4.
To open the circuit, operate the Loadbuster Tool
with a firm, steady pull until it is extended to its
maximum length. See Figure 22. Avoid jerking and
hesitation. The resetting latch will keep it open.
Generally, there will be no indication of circuit
interruption. The only sound will be that of the
Loadbuster Tool tripping.
STEP 5.
To detach the Loadbuster Tool after circuit
interruption, first raise it slightly and disengage the
anchor from the attachment hook.
WARNING
Careless manipulation of the Loadbuster Tool can
decrease the open gap to the point where flashover will
occur .
This can result in arcing, electrical shock, seri-
ous injury, or death.
