Abstract
A combination loadbreak and deadbreak temporary grounding device that includes a conductive body configured to accept a grounded bushing well; a grounded bushing well disposed through the body and having an inner end configured to slip onto a loadbreak mounting clip on a loadbreak mounting bracket and an outer end configured to accept either a loadbreak bushing or a deadbreak bushing for coupling, respectively, to either a loadbreak or deadbreak elbow connector; and a grounding cable electrically connected to the conductive body.
Claims17
A combination loadbreak and deadbreak temporary grounding device, comprising:
- a conductive body configured to accept a grounded bushing well and having a cable fitting for connection to a grounding cable;
- and
- a grounded bushing well disposed through said body and having an inner end configured to slip onto a loadbreak mounting clip on a loadbreak mounting bracket and an outer end configured to accept either a loadbreak bushing well insert or a deadbreak bushing well insert for coupling, respectively, to either a loadbreak or deadbreak elbow connector.
A dual function loadbreak and deadbreak temporary grounding device, comprising:
- a conductive body having a throughhole, an integral mounting boss having a threaded throughbore, and a ground cable fitting for selective connection to a ground cable;
- a bushing well secured in said conductive housing, said grounded bushing well configured with a cylindrical opening at its outer end to accept rotatable and locking insertion of either a loadbreak bushing well insert or a deadbreak bushing insert, and having an inner end that configured for slipping onto the mounting clip of a mounting bracket;
- and
- a threaded mounting eye bolt disposed through said threaded throughbore in said mounting boss and having an eye end and a head for engaging the surface of a loadbreak mounting clip on an outer end and for slipping into a deadbreak mounting clip on a second side.
