Ground and Test Device

SECTION 5: INSTALLATION & INSPECTION

m

 WARNING

BEFORE PLACING THE GROUND AND TEST DEVICE IN SERVICE, CAREFULLY 

FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE BELOW AND THE SAFE 

PRACTICES SET FORTH IN SECTION 2. NOT FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE 

MAY RESULT IN INCORRECT G&T DEVICE OPERATION LEADING TO DEATH, 

BODILY INJURY, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

When the G&T device is first used and each time it is used in the 

future, it should be carefully examined and checked to make sure it 

is operating correctly.

5.1  EXAMINATION FOR DAMAGE

Examine the ground and test device for loose or obviously damaged 

parts. Never attempt to install nor operate a damaged ground and 

test device.

5.1.1  NAMEPLATE VERIFICATION

Verify the information on the new G&T device matches the 

information on the purchase order. If any discrepancies exist, notify 

Eaton for resolution prior to proceeding.

5.3  SNUBBER ADJUSTMENT

m

 NOTICE

FOR ALL TYPE DHP HOUSINGS, THE ADJUSTMENT STEPS OUTLINED IN 

THIS PARAGRAPH MUST BE PERFORMED BEFORE INSTALLING A DHP 

GROUND AND TEST DEVICE. FAILURE TO COMPLETE THESE STEPS COULD 

RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR IMPROPER OPERATION.

Before levering a ground and test device into any and all housings, 

the snubber bolts must be adjusted as outlined in steps 1 and 2. 

Refer to Figures Set 3.3 and Figure 5.2 for reference purposes. If a 

ground and test device is moved from one housing to another, the 

procedure must be repeated for the new housing.

Step 1: Measure the distance from the floor plate to the underside 

of the current transformer shelf on both sides of the housing in line 

with the location of the snubber bolts on each side of the ground 

and test device (Figure 5.1).

Step 2: Adjust the height of the top of the snubber bolt to be 

between 0.0 and 0.031 (0.0 and 1/32) inches below the measured 

height of the current transformer shelf and tighten the locking nut.

5.2  INSERTION PROCEDURES

m

 NOTICE

THIS IS NOT A BREAKER OR AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED GROUND AND 

TEST DEVICE. THEREFORE THERE IS NO SECONDARY BLOCK. THIS MEANS 

THAT THERE IS NO TEST POSITION AND IT WILL NOT BE COVERED IN THIS 

INSTRUCTION MANUAL. 

ENSURE THAT GROUNDING CABLES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY BEFORE 

INSERTING GROUND AND TEST DEVICE INTO CELL.

WHILE LEVERING THE GROUND AND TEST DEVICE, NOTE ANY SUDDEN 

RESISTANCE TO LEVERING OR SIGNS OF BINDING. DETERMINE THE 

CAUSE OF INTERFERENCE AND CORRECT, AS APPROPRIATE, BEFORE 

PROCEEDING. 

Press down on the rail latch on the front right side of the G&T device 

with your foot, and push the G&T device toward the rear of the cell 

Figure 5.1. Current Transformer Shelf

5.2  INSTALLATION OF GROUNDING CABLES

NOTE: USE HARDWARE PROVIDED WITH THE GROUND & TEST 

DEVICE INSTALLED AS SHOWN. (Figure 5.3)
a. Determine the set of terminals required for each occasion.
b. Using the key provided (Figure 3-3) with each G&T device, unlock 

the appropriate door, exposing the terminals. This feature is not 

applicable for single terminal ground and test devices. 
c. Using 0.5-inch hardware provided, attach one end of each of the 

three grounding cables to a terminal corresponding to each phase. 

(Figure 4-3). Hardware should be torqued to 50 ft-lbs.
d. Cables are bolted to the ground plate at the factory. If they have 

been unbolted, reattach the terminal of the grounding cables to the 

copper ground bar located at the front of the truck frame. Hardware 

should be torqued to 50 ft-lbs.
