Joining Lengths
Use the following procedure to join two lengths of
busway.
1. Remove at least one joint cap, shown in Figure
9 and Figure 10, from the two pieces to be
joined, retaining the bolts.
2. Align the sections to be joined by matching up
the Ø SIDE labels attached to the ends of each
section.
3. If necessary, loosen the joint bolt slightly.
4. Slide the sections together. Ensure that the
busbars interweave the insulators, as shown in
Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13.
WARNING: The housing-ground side plates must pass
between the outside insulators and the joint-ground side
plates to avoid a phase-to-ground short circuit.
AVERTISSEMENT: Les plaques de côté reliant le boîtier à
la mise à la terre doivent passer entre les isolateurs
extérieurs et les plaques de côté du joint à la terre pour
éviter un court -circuit de phase à la terre.
5. In nominal position, the standard distance
between the joint cap bolt holes is 10 1/4
inches for outdoor busway, as shown in Figure
11. On indoor busway, the standard distance
between the two housings is 8 3/8 inches, in
nominal position, as shown in Figure 11. An
alignment line marked ―N‖ on the joint cap
window should line up with the edge of the
housing at nominal position. However, the joint
is also adjustable, as shown in Figure 12 and
Figure 13. Simply move the sections in or out
to the desired length, as shown, and remove
the twist-outs in both joint caps (outdoor only)
if needed, as shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: If any adjustments are made in Step 5, remove
the shipping screws and center the joint between the
two housings.
NOTE: Retirer les vis d'expédition et centrer le raccord
entre les deux habitacles sitout ajustement est
apporté à la fiche-boîtier à l'étape 5.
6. If the joint caps are not already in place,
reattach them and hand-tighten the mounting
screws.
7. When joining old-style indoor to new-style
indoor busway, use a 3/8" x 1/2" bolt to attach
