4.3 Primary Inspection
Preventative visual inspections of the shipping crate and the load bank are advised.
Physical or electrical problems due to handling and vibration may occur. Never apply
power to a load bank before performing this procedure. The following five-point
inspection is recommended before installation and as part of the 50-hour / 6-month
maintenance schedule or as a load bank is relocated:
1. If the crate shows any signs of damage, examine the load bank in the
corresponding areas for signs of initial problems.
2. Check the entire outside of the cabinet for any visual damage, which could
cause internal electrical or mechanical problems due to reduced clearance.
3. Inspect all relays and control modules. Make sure all components are secure in
their bases and safety bails are in place. Spot check electrical connections for
tightness. If any loose connections are found, inspect and tighten all remaining
connections.
4. Examine all accessible internal electrical components such as fuses, contactors,
and relays. Check lugged wires at these components.
5. Visually inspect element chamber for foreign objects, broken ceramic
insulators, and mechanical damage.
