porcelain support. Apply RTV sealant ( 0282A3566P005 ) around the rubber

chip the porcelain. The main bus should pass through a rubber bus cushion
located inside the porcelain bus support. If the rubber bus cushion falls off, re-
insert the cushion on the busbar as shown in Fig – A(1)-9 and pass the busbar
through the porcelain support.
c) For polyester glass inter-unit bus supports insert the bus through the
corresponding slots in the orange polyester glass material.

its vacant slot between the splice plates. The bus should line up with the main bus
coming into the joint from the other side.
