(f) Temporarily tighten the terminal nuts.
(g) Tighten the terminal nut
(1) Put a wooden block on the contact plate and press
it down with a hand press.
Dimensions of wooden block:
20 x 37 x 40 mm (0.79 x 1.46 x 1.57 in.)
Press force:
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf)
NOTICE:
Check the diameter of the hand press ram. Then
calculate the gauge pressure of the press when
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf) of force is applied.
Gauge pressure:
If the contact plate is not pressed down with the spe-
cified pressure, the contact plate may tilt due to coil
deformation or the tightening of the nut.
(2) Using SST, tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
SST 09810±38140
Torque: 17 N´m (173 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
If the nut is over tightened, it may cause cracks on the in-
side of the insulator.
