After locating the Droper line forthe 1¥%-inch (38.1 mm) copper pipe in the first column of the table, the total number of bolts re- uited can be determined from the following information given for the connectors. For standard-duty connectors 3Ax2B=6C 4Ax2B=8C Where: A= I/2inch (12.7mm) diameter bolts per conductor B= Number of conductors C= Number of 1/2-inch diameter bolts per fitting 4622 EXAMPLE2 A single size "T" connector is used 1 connect a3inch (76.2 mm) Schedule 40 aluminum main to 397-5 MCM. ASCR (201 mm?) tap (outside diameter = 0.743 inch, 18.87 mm). Aes locating the proper ine forthe 3-inch (162 mm) Pipe in the first column of the table, it ean be seen that the connectors requires four %-inch- diameter (15.9 mm) bolts per conductor. CC 1-193 Page 17 Alter locating the proper line for the 0.743-inch-out- side diameter (18.87 mm) ACSR tap in the third column of the table, it can be seen that the connectors require four Ys-inch-diameter (5,9-zim) bolts per conductor. In this case and in ac€ordance with 4.6.1.3, the manu- facturer has the choice of using either four ¥4-inch-
