The picture below shows the main bus installed in a
different position relative to the adjoining section.
This condition makes it necessary to use a splice bar
with 5” offset.
3. Splicing sections. The first step is to install the splice
bars on one of the sections. Do not tighten these
bolts. Just add bolts, washers, and nuts and leave
loose.
Second, attach the next section and make the bus bar
holes align with the splice bar slots. There is a removable
cut out for temporary removal during the splicing of the
section.
Use a screwdriver to make sure the holes align. Then add
the hardware to join the bus and splice bars.
If Bellville washers are provided with the joints , torque to
35 lb-ft. If lock washers are provided with the joints, ,
torque to 39 lb-ft.
The last step is to bolt the sections together. To do so,
please read instruction bulletin (GEH5875), which is
included in the first section of every switchboard line up.
When connections are complete, set the switchboard on
the final pad for cable terminations.
