2000 ECS Battery Plant H569-403
Issue 4 February 1997
Installation 4 - 11
The following procedure provides the steps to add a new load
circuit to an operating battery plant.
1. See Section 3 for details on sizing additional circuit
breakers.
2. Alarms may be issued during the installation process (e.g.,
by a new circuit breaker in the OFF position). Notify the
alarm reporting center of that alarms may be received.
3. Locate the intended new breaker or fuse. Ensure that
breakers are switched to the OFF position or that fuses are
not loaded.
4. Install the load leads by following paragraph “Load
Wiring” above.
5. Mark the new circuit on the distribution cover panel label.
6. For safety, mount the dc distribution front cover before
proceeding to the next step.
7. Turn on the load circuit breaker or install the fuses. If the
circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows immediately when
turned on, this may be due to inrush current and does not
necessarily indicate a fault condition. Attempt to close the
circuit breaker a second time or add another fuse. If the
breaker trips or the fuse blows again, check the wiring to
the load circuit.
8. When all work on the dc distribution is complete, close the
distribution cover and notify the alarm reporting center.
DANGER
Battery voltage is present behind the distribution cover panel.
Remove all jewelry before working in this area. Use insulated
tools only.
Caution
Accidentally or intentionally turning a circuit breaker off may
affect service to load equipment. Take care not to disturb
load-carrying circuits.
Warning
Before applying power to any individual load, follow the
powering up instructions as provided in the associated load
equipment documentation.
