en-us<BR><BR>Friends:<BR> <BR>I narrowly avoided catastrophe
yesterday. I created a tap connection on a 200 amp main breaker.
I wrap split bolts with Scotch 2229 mastic and then cover that with a
generous layer of Scotch 33+ tape. <BR> <BR>On this occasion,
just as I was putting the dead front in place I noticed the glint of metal
poking through the mastic and tape. The points on the legs of the
split bolt are sharp and the mastic and tape had crept away from this point
and exposed a tiny point of metal. This point would have contacted the
dead front lightly or at least would have been in close proximity. Had
I energized the breaker, I would have had a significant arc. I
unwrapped both connectors so both bolts had the legs facing away from the
dead-front, creating a good ½” of clearance and then wrapped them more
carefully.<BR> <BR>30 years ago I had access to rubberized cloth tape
that we used instead of the mastic. I suspect the cloth tape is more
durable than the mastic, but I don’t see it in the supply houses
anymore.<BR> <BR>How do the rest of you wrap split bolts so you are
confident that the mastic won’t creep away from a high point on the
connector?<BR> <BR>Thanks in
advance.<BR> <BR>William<BR> <BR><1224040.jpg> <BR>Lic
