Energizing switchboard
WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING
ONLY THOSE PROFESSIONALS TRAINED AND QUALIFIED ON
ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SWITCHBOARDS SHOULD INSTALL AND/OR
SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Extreme hazards can exist when energizing electrical distribution
equipment and switchboards. Take all precautions necessary to
protect people and property when energizing the equipment. Short
circuits and ground faults may exist as a result from inadequate
installation. Short circuits and ground faults within the switchboard
can cause catastrophic damage, injury and death.
1. Prior to energizing the switchboard, turn OFF all over- current
devices and loads internal to the switchboard plus mains in
downstream equipment.
2. Verify and follow the sequence of energizing circuits and loads.
Verify phase sequencing on loads, such as motors, which can be
damaged or destroyed by incorrect phase connections.
3. If provided, use remote operators to close and energize
switchboard, overcurrent devices and loads.
4. Beginning with the main(s), turn ON each overcurrent device.
Maintenance
It is essential to maintain the equipment in satisfactory condition.
To ensure continued quality service, a systematic maintenance
schedule is vital. Facility operation and local conditions vary to such
an extent that the schedule must be prepared to suit the conditions.
The maintenance schedule for individual devices, such as circuit
breakers, meters, fusible switches, etc., should be based upon
recommendations contained in the individual instruction leaflet for
each device. Inspection and test operations should be coordinated
with an overall testing program to result in the least operating
inconvenience and system shutdowns.
DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
DE-ENERGIZE SWITCHBOARD PRIOR TO SERVICING.
WARNING
ONLY THOSE PROFESSIONALS TRAINED AND QUALIFIED ON
ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SWITCHBOARDS SHOULD INSTALL AND/OR
SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Prior to performing any maintenance on the switchboard, first
de-energize the switchboard at the source. Use lock-out/tag-out
precautions as prescribed in CEC and other safety manuals.
The switchboard should be given a thorough maintenance check
annually.
Exercise extreme care to prevent the equipment from being
connected to the power source while tests are being conducted.
