Energizing the Equipment
7. After all of the disconnects have been closed, energize loads such as,
lighting circuits, motor starters, and contactors.
a. When power-factor correction capacitors are energized with the
motor windings and the start-up procedure requires that the
respective motors be jogged or inched, temporarily disconnect the
power factor correction capacitors.
For more information on power factor capacitors and MCC units,
refer to the Power Factor Correction Capacitors for Bulletin 2100

.
b. Verify that any acceleration times are within application
specifications.
Excessive starting currents and acceleration times can cause inverse time circuit
breakers, power fuses, overload relays, and other components to overheat and
shut down the equipment.
