36 Pad Mount Installation
Introduction
You can install an ECN on the same transformer pad as a service distribution
transformer, and secure it to the transformer without drilling holes into or
otherwise damaging the transformer housing. After installation, the ECN is
resistant to manual removal, and none of the electrical or communications
network connections can be accessed by unauthorized personnel.
The installation includes a bracket that you attach to the transformer housing
and transformer pad. You then attach the ECN to the installed bracket.
Subsequent replacement or installation of an ECN can reuse the installed
bracket, thus substantially reducing replacement installation time and effort. In
addition, you can connect or disconnect the ECN from either power or the
communications network easily, without having to uninstall the entire unit.
Required Tools
To perform the installation for the Pad Mounting Bracket, you will need the
following tools:
• Connection bolt: 5 cm (2 inches) in length, 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) in diameter
• A 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) washer
• Two 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) concrete-compatible bolt kits
• Conduit housing
• A wrench suitable for 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) bolts
• A wire stripping tool
• A fiberglass or plastic cable puller tool
• A standard Phillips screwdriver, Point Size 2
• A shovel (hand or power) or similar digging tool
• Standard conduit sealing putty or foam
In addition to the tools listed above, you need an ECN Pad Mount Kit and the
appropriate ECN input power cable accessory:
• The input power cable accessory is available in three lengths: 3 m, 9 m,
and 12 m (10 ft, 30 ft, and 40 ft).
• The cable type conforms to the specifications for 1.29 mm (16 AWG)
stranded copper conductors. The outer jacket for the cable is insulated
(600 V rating). The cable includes four conductors:
o Black: Phase 1
o Blue: Phase 2
o Red: Phase 3
o White: Neutral
The ECN does not use the blue connector (phase 2).
• The end of the cable that connects to the ECN input power connector is
fitted. The other end of the cable is not fitted.
