2. Install TVSS-bus cable assembly. (For connecting a
TVSS to a disconnect, go to step 2.)
• Bolt-on and single bus of plug-in assemblies, switchboard
panels, and powerpanel. Before installing, locate the
side of the panel interior for which the dimension
from the nearest vertical bus face to the inner face
of the bus support rail is 2.75 inches, as indicated
in Figure 3. The cable terminals will be mounted
on this side of the bus.
1
For each phase install a
/4-20 x 2" carriage bolt
[29] into a .281-inch square hole of the interior
vertical bus, as shown in Figure 4. Use the
5
uppermost holes in the 7X (9
/8") space that the
TVSS unit can reach. Slide a terminal of the cable
assembly [21] onto each carriage bolt and rotate it
so that the terminal barrel is located below the front
1
edge of the vertical bus. Install a
1
[24] and a
/4-20 nut [27] onto each bolt and
/4" spring washer
tighten to 75 in-lb.
• Plug-in assemblies, switchboard panels, and panelboards
with .281-inch square holes available (double bus). For
each phase, slide a spacer [22] between the vertical
1
bus bars and install a
/4-20 x 2" carriage bolt [29]
into a .281-inch square hole located towards the
front of interior vertical bus, as shown in Figure 5.
5
Use the uppermost holes in the 7X (9
/8") space
that the TVSS unit can reach.
Figure 5. Plug-in assemblies with .281-inch square holes.
Slide a terminal of the cable assembly [21] onto
each carriage bolt and rotate it so that the terminal
barrel is located below the front edge of the vertical
1
bus. Install a
/4" spring washer [24] and a 1/4-20
nut [27] onto each bolt and tighten to 75 in-lb.
• Plug-in assemblies and powerpanels without .281-inch
square holes (double bus). For each phase, slide a
spacer [22] between the vertical bus bars and
3
install a
/8-16 x 2" carriage bolt [30] into a .406inch square hole located towards the rear of
interior vertical bus, as shown in Figure 6. Use the
5
uppermost holes in the 7X (9
/8") space that the
TVSS unit can reach. Slide a terminal of the cable
assembly [21] onto each carriage bolt. Install a
3
spring washer [25] and a
/8-16 nut [28] onto each
3
/8"
bolt and tighten to 200 in-lb.

spools are not shown for clarity.)
3. Install barrier. Route the cable assemblies through the
rectangular holes in the barrier [3]. Secure the barrier
7
to the side of the “Z” rail with 10-32x
/16" threadforming screws [23], as shown in Figure 7 and tighten
to 22 in-lb.
4. Mounting plate. Route the cable assemblies through
the oblong slot in the mounting plate [5]. Secure the
mounting plate to the interior “Z” rail with
7
10-32x
/16" thread-forming screws [23], as shown in
Figure 8 and tighten to 22 in-lb.
5. Mount the TVSS unit. Remove the two screws securing
the plastic cover to the TVSS unit and lift off the
cover. Save the screws for later reinstallation. Mount
7
the unit to the mounting plate with six 10-32x
/16"
thread-forming screws [23] and tighten to 22 in-lb.
6. Make cable connections to the TVSS. Trim the cable
assemblies to the minimum required and strip
1
/2
inch from the end of the cable. Connect the cable
assemblies to the lugs provided in the TVSS unit and
tighten the lug screws to 110 in-lb. Insure that the A
location is connected to the top lug, the B location (if
required) to the middle lug, and the C location to the
bottom lug, as shown in Figure 9.
a. Install ground (and neutral cable if required).
Measure the length required for the ground and
1
neutral cables and cut from the cable [1]. Strip
/2
inch from the end of the cable and connect to the
TVSS ground and neutral lugs and panel lugs, as
shown in Figure 9. Tighten the lug screws to 110
in-lb. Reinstall the plastic cover on the TVSS.
b. Install the cable connections from the circuit
breaker to the TVSS. Trim the cable [21] to the
length required and strip the ends as required.
Connect the cable to the appropriate connection
points on the circuit breaker and the TVSS, as
shown in Figure 10. Install the ground and neutral
cables as in step a. above.

7. Install the TVSS monitor plate to the filler plate.
Mount the monitor plate, provided with the TVSS, to
the cover plate [6, 7, or 8], as shown in Figure 11.
Secure with two 10-32x
7
/16" thread-forming screws
[23] and tighten to 22 in-lb.
8. Install the filler supports. For 27W, 31W, and 35W
panels, mount four filler supports [9] to the Z rail of
the vertical bus interior, as shown in Figure 12. For
36W, 40W, 44W, and 45W panels, mount two filler
supports [4] to the Z rail, as shown in Figure 13.
7
Secure the supports with 10-32x
/16" thread-forming
screws [23] and tighten to 22 in-lb.
9. Install the filler plate assembly. Plug the cable harness
into the TVSS and monitor panel. Mount the filler
plate assembly to the filler supports, as shown in
Figure 14. Secure with four 10-32x
7
/16" thread-
forming screws [23] and tighten to 22 in-lb.
