Contents of this chapter

This chapter describes the start-up procedure of the medium voltage compact skid (MVCS) and the general opera-
tion criteria.

WARNING!

Only an authorized electrician is permitted to install the cabling to the MVCS. Obey the Safety instructions and the

local safety regulations. If ignored, physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment may occur.

WARNING!

Do not do any electrical installation work during a thunderstorm.

Tools needed

•  Voltage detector
•  Insulation resistance meter. For more information, see section Measuring the insulation resistance of the cabling
•  Personal protective equipment

Start-up procedure

This section describes the procedure to startup the medium voltage compact skid (MVCS).

WARNING!

Only an authorized electrician is permitted to install and perform the start-up procedure. Obey the Safety instructions

and the local safety regulations. If ignored, physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment may occur.

WARNING!

Read the manuals and start-up procedures of all other components (inverters, UPS, etc.). Note that the guidelines

specified in this section does not replace the instructions given by the product manuals of each component.
