Installation of Utility Current Transformers on FlexSeT PUC Switchboards
This bulletin contains instructions for installing utility current transformer devices on FlexSeT Public Utility Compartment (PUC) Switchboard manufactured by Schneider Electric. Read and understand document number JYT1078000 FlexSeT Switchboards Instruction Bulletin before performing any of the instructions provided in this document.
The utility current transformer devices are to be installed in the utility compartment of the FlexSeT PUC Switchboard, as shown in the FlexSeT PUC Switchboard Utility Compartment.
Diagram shows the interior of a PUC Switchboard utility compartment. Key components labeled include:
- PUC FlexSeT (Top Feed Shown)
- Utility CT brackets
- A phase, B phase, C phase
- Mounting pan for voltage transformers
- Jumpers
Inside the utility compartment a set of mounting brackets and other components are provided for the installation of the different types of utility CTs on the three phases (A, B, and C). Become familiar with these components by looking at Utility CT's Mounting Components and Jumpers Inside the Utility Compartment of a FlexSeT PUC Switchboard, page 10.
Diagram illustrating mounting components and jumpers within the utility compartment. Labeled components include:
- Front Side Jumpers (Qty 2)
- Visi-Tites™ (Qty 4)
- Rear Side Jumpers (Qty 2)
- 1/2 x 2.25 in. Bolts (Qty 4)
- CT Brackets No. 1
- CT Brackets No. 2
- CT Brackets No. 3
Refer to Utility Current Transformers Installation Steps, page 11 for the specific steps to follow for the installation of each type of utility CT on each phase (A, B, and C).
NOTE: Depending on the CT type, some of the pre-installed components will not be required, as mentioned in the corresponding steps.
