Entellisys Low Voltage Switchgear 

 

 

Chapter 8.  Energizing the Switchgear 

 

 

8-1  Before Energizing 

Before switchgear is energized, a thorough final check should 

be made using the following checklist:  Refer to section 6-5 for 

additional information. 

 

• Breakers and other operating mechanisms exercised 

 

• Electrical insulation resistance tested phase-to- phase 

  and phase-to-ground 

 

• Entellisys instrumentation properly connected 

 

• Electrically operated breakers and operating mechanisms 

tested 

 

• Ground fault protection system tested 

 

• Protection settings properly set and tested. 

 

• Field wiring secured and free of live bus 

 

• Grounding connections made 

 

• All debris, scrap wire, etc. removed 

 

• All covers installed, doors closed and latched 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8-2  Energizing Procedures

 

 

CAUTION:

  Energizing switchgear for the first time is 

potentially dangerous. Therefore, qualified electrical 

personnel should be present when the equipment is 

energized. If problems caused by damage or poor 

installation practices have not been detected in the 

checkout procedure described previously, serious damage 

can result when power is turned on. 

 

ATTENTION:

 La mise sous tension pour la première fois 

d’un dispositif de commutation est un acte potentiellement 

dangereux. Il faut donc que du personnel qualifié en 

électricité soit présent lorsque l’équipement est mis sous 

tension. Si lors de la procédure de vérification décrite 

précédemment des problèmes causés par des dommages ou 

de mauvaises pratiques d’installation n’ont pas été 

détectés, il peut en résulter des dommages sérieux lorsque 

le contact est établi. 

 
1. 

There should be no load on the switchgear when it is 

energized. 

 

2. 

Turn off all of the downstream loads, including those 

such as motor control centers and other devices that 

are remote from the switchgear. 

 

3. 

The equipment should be energized in sequence by 

starting at the source end of the system and working 

toward the load end. In other words, energize the main 

devices, then the feeder devices, and then the branch-

circuit devices. 

 

4. 

Turn the devices on using the Entellisys HMI.
