Grounding the control
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Recloser and control must
be solidly grounded. Follow all locally approved
procedures and safety practices when grounding this
equipment. Improper grounding can result in contact
with high voltage, which will cause death or severe
personal injury. G115.1
The Form 6 rack mount recloser control must be solidly
grounded prior to installation or energization. Refer to
Figure9 for grounding connections.
ote:N Grounding of the mounting panel or
standard19" rack does not eliminate the control
grounding requirement.
The grounding connection on the back of the control will
accommodate a spade connector or ring terminal that fits
on a .25 inch diameter grounding terminal stud (Figure10).
ote:N Control grounding must comply with all locally
approved procedures and safety practices that apply
in a substation or other appropriate indoor facility.
The recloser that the control will be connected to must also
be properly grounded per the grounding requirements of the
individual recloser. Refer to the appropriate installation and
operation manual for grounding requirements.
IMPORTANT
All external wiring inputs to the Form 6 recloser control
must be routed within 8 inches of their corresponding
ground. During a surge, a potential of approximately 1.5
kV per foot can develop in the conductors. Differences
between conductor and ground path lengths can add
additional stress to the control components in the event of
a power surge.
