B2.2.11 Return the selector switch to the

OFF position. It is recommended
that the selector switch be
padlocked in this position to
prevent unauthorized opening of
the device, which would remove
the ground from the primary
circuit. The pushbutton station and
control cable may be unplugged,
coiled and stored. In a manner
similar to step B2.2.6 on page 42,
perform voltage measurements on
each phase to confirm that the
desired studs are de-energized.

B2.2.12 When it is desired to remove the

ground, reconnect the pushbutton
station and control cable, if it was
removed at step B2.2.11.

B2.2.13 Remove the padlock, if present, at

the selector switch. Select the TRIP
(OPEN) position at the selector
switch. Check that control power is
available in the switchgear
compartment.

B2.2.14 Extend the control cable to its full

length, so that the CLOSE-OPEN
pushbutton control station is as far
from the switchgear compartment
to be grounded as possible, and off
to the side rather than in front of
the switchgear compartment to be
grounded. Verify that no person is
in the area in front of the
switchgear compartment. Depress
the open pushbutton on the
remote pushbutton station. The
ground and test device will open.
This will remove the ground from
the selected primary studs.
Confirm that the open/close
indicator on the ground and test
device indicates the device is open.

B2.2.15

Remove the ground and test device
from the compartment. Refer to
racking instructions contained in
the switchgear instruction manual,
E50001-F710-A236-X-XXXX for
type GM38 switchgear.

Close and latch the door of the
circuit breaker cell and rack the
type 38-3AH3-GTD ground and test
device to disconnected position
using the same procedures as for
racking the type 38-3AH3 38 kV
circuit breaker.

Hazardous voltage and high currents.

Can cause death, serious injury and property damage.

Extend the control cable to its full length.

Use the CLOSE-OPEN pushbutton control station as far from the
switchgear compartment to be grounded as possible and off to the side
rather than in the front.

Make sure that no person is in the area in front of the switchgear
compartment to be grounded.
