Chapter 11: Site Preparation – Series 3 / 79000 Current Reduction Conversion: Series 3 Current Reduction Conversion Procedure
Schedule the Conversion
Schedule with the user approximately 4 hours when the
system can be out of service.
Notify the customer that an electrician will need to be
available for disconnecting the "mains" and re-wiring
the "mains" after the conversion is complete. Schedule
with the electrician when a reduced current power drop
will be installed, and available for use. This may consist
of an SO
1
power cord and plug, or in some cases may
require the electrician to hard wire the final connection
to the system.
Verify that the electrician has the materials to connect a
pigtail to the system if the incoming wire size exceeds
10 square millimeters (#8 AWG) and a new power drop
is not being installed.
Determine the System Type and Power Option
See Chapter 6 for full load amps (FLA), wire sizes and
breaker sizes.
Determine the system type and power option of this
system. On the rear of the 3070 system, on the serial
number tag, is the E99XXA common testhead product
number (CTPN). The 79000 does not have a CTPN but
is identified as a 79000. Refer to
page 11-6, to identify the testhead product number
which may be used to locate the correct tables in
Chapter 6,
Site Preparation – Power Requirements
and throughout this procedure.
