INSTALLING THE FUSE LINK
(Fuse cutouts with arc-shortening rod)
Fuse cutouts having an arc-shortening rod require the use
of removable buttonhead fuse links.
STEP 1
Remove and discard the contact button (and washer, for fuse
links so equipped) and then carefully straighten the cable.
STEP 2
Unscrew the cap on the upper ferrule of the fuse tube as-
sembly and retract the arc-shortening rod (attached to the
cap).
STEP 3
CAUTION
Do not use a standard cap in place of a cap with an arc-
shortening rod. Use of the arc-shortening rod is required
to achieve the full interrupting rating.
Screw the arc-shortening rod onto the fuse link and hand
tighten. Then slide this assembly, cable rst, into the top of
the fuse tube and retrieve the cable at the lower end. Con-
tinue with Step 3 the preceding section.

La herramienta Loadbuster de S&C, es ideal para usarse
en la apertura de los porta fusibles en Cortacircuitos Tipo XS
de S&C (u otros cortacircuitos y cuchillas desconectadoras,
diseado para usar herramientas Loadbuster). La Loadbuster
es el mtodo nico de S&C de operar a bajos costos y alargar
la vida.
De la capacidad interruptiva de estos aparatos, se proporcio-
na las instrucciones de uso de herramienta Loadbuster con
Cortacircuitos Tipo XS. A continuacin siguiendo a la ope-
racin de apertura usando la herramienta Loadbuster, el tubo
porta Fusible puede ser sacado de la percha del cortacircuito,
usando la punta de la prtiga (Ver gura 3).
IMPORTANTE
Un tubo porta fusible no deber ser dejado abierto por
un periodo largo de tiempo, ya que el agua puede daar
la parte interna del mismo.
OPERACIN CON LOADBUSTER
Verique el funcionamiento apropiado de la Loadbuster,
jalando el cilindro superior aproximadamente 8 cms
manualmente y durante este recorrido se deber sentir la
resistencia a vencer, del resorte interior.
PASO 1
Ponga en frente del cortacircuito la Loadbuster e introduzca
el arillo del mismo al gancho ms alejado del cortacircuito
(Ver Figura 4).
PASO 2
Gire la Loadbuster hacia el porta fusible e introduzca la
aldaba de la Loadbuster en el arillo de la frula superior. La
aldaba deber entrar totalmente y cerrarse sobre el anillo de
la frula. La Loadbuster est ahora conectada a travs del
gancho al contacto superior riel cortacircuito (Ver gura 4).
PASO 3
Abra el cortacircuito jalando la Loadbuster, con la suciente
fuerza para que se extienda totalmente a su mxima longitud
(Ver gura 5), evite vacilaciones. Un seguro mantendr
abierto el cortacircuito. Generalmente no habr indicaciones
de interrupcin del cortacircuito elctrico, pero la conmu-
tacin del arco puede ser notado en el arillo de la Loadbuster
y el anillo de la frula, particularmente cuando se inter-
rumpen corrientes de carga cercanas a la capacidad mxima
de la herramienta. El nico sonido deber ser el disparo del
resorte del Loadbuster.
S&Cs Loadbuster is ideally suited for use in opening the
fuse tube of S&C Type XS Fuse Cutouts (or other fuse cut-
outs and disconnects designed for use with Loadbuster),
Loadbuster is S&Cs unique method of providing low-cost,
positive and convenient live.
Switching capability for such devices. Instructions for use
of Loadbuster with S&C Type XS Fuse Cutouts are shown
below.
Following an opening operation using Loadbuster, the fuse
tube can be lifted out of the fuse cutout hinge using the prong
of a hookstick. See Figure 3.
IMPORTANT
A fuse tube should not be left in the open position for
an extended period of time, since water can damage the
tube lining.
OPERATING WITH LOADBUSTER
Check for proper resetting of the Loadbuster by extending
the tool about three inches by hand. Throughout this travel,
an increasing spring resistance should be felt.
STEP 1
Reach across in front of the fuse cutout with Loadbuster
and hook the anchor, located at the top of Loadbuster, over
the attachment hook on the far side of the fuse cutout. See
Figure 4.
STEP 2
Swing Loadbuster toward the fuse tube and pass the Load-
buster pull-ring hook through the pull ring on the fuse tube.
The pull-ring latch will deect and upon complete entry of
the pull ring, will spring back, locking Loadbuster to the pull
ring. Loadbuster is now connected across the upper contact
of the fuse cutout. See gure 4.
STEP 3
To open the circuit, operate Loadbuster with a rm, steady
pull until it is extended to its maximum length. See gure 5.
Avoid jerking and hesitation. The resetting latch will keep it
open. Generally, there will be no indication of circuit inte-
rruption, but communication arcing may he noted at the pull-
ring hook and at the anchor, particulary when interrupting
load currents approaching the rating of the tool. The only
sound will be that of Loadbuster tripping.

PASO 4
Desprender la Loadbuster despus de desconectar el cir-
cuito. Primero elvelo ligeramente y desenganche el arillo
del cuerno de jacin.
CUIDADO
Al elevar la Loadbuster la distancia de apertura se reduce.
Un manejo sin cuidado podra provocar un arco.
Siga abriendo el tubo porta fusible totalmente como se ve
en Fig. 6 quite el Loadbuster del arillo del porta fusible gi-
rando el Loadbuster hasta liberar la aldaba.
PASO 5
Para preparar la Loadbuster para la siguiente operacin,
proceda como se indica. Extienda ligeramente la Loadbuster
y con el dedo pulgar jale el restablecedor y con l fuera, la
Loadbuster regresa a su posicin volvindose a restablecer.
Verique que la herramienta est lista para volver a usarse,
extendiendo el pistn aproximadamente 8 centmetros. A
travs de este recorrido, deber sentirse la resistencia del
resorte.
Figura 4. Loadbuster conectado al cortacircuito Fusible
Tipo XS de S&C. Servicio Exterior.
STEP 4
To detach Loadbuster after circuit interruption, rst raise
it slightly and disengage the anchor from the attachment
hook.
WARNING
When Loadbuster is raised the open gap distance is re-
duced. Careless manipulation could decrease the open
gap to the point where ashover will occur.
Next, bring the fuse tube toward its fully open position as
illustrated in Figure 6. Then remove Loadbuster from the
pull ring by turning the pole. This will deect the pull ring
latch to release the pull ring. Because the fuse tube will drop
fully open by gravity, it may be preferred to remove Load-
buster by rolling it off both the attachment hook and pull
ring at the same time merely by twisting the pole after Load-
buster has been tripped and fully extended. To perform this
operation easily and smoothly, always roll Loadbuster so
that it rotates in an upward direction.
STEP 5
To reset Loadbuster for the next operation, hold as shown
in Figure 7. Extended the tool slightly and lift the resetting
latch with the thumb. With the latch up, telescope the tool
completely so the trigger can reset itself. Check for proper
resetting by extending the tool about three inches. Through-
out this travel an increasing spring resistance should be left.
