Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without
incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.
The output voltage and residual capacitor voltage of this equipment is dangerous. Use
caution when you work on electrical equipment. The MicroTurbine system can include
multiple sources of power. Make sure to turn off the system and lock out all sources of
power prior to doing any work on the equipment.
•
Command the MicroTurbine system to OFF.
•
Open and lock the dedicated disconnect switches to isolate the MicroTurbine from
the electric utility grid, external energy storage, and loads.
•
Wait five (5) minutes for any capacitive stored voltage to dissipate.
•
Always disconnect all power sources.
•
Use a voltmeter to make sure that all circuits are de-energized.
•
All output connections must be made in accordance with applicable codes.
Fuel Precautions
WARNING
MicroTurbine fuel is flammable and explosive. An explosion can cause
death or injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment. No open
flame or smoking is allowed near the MicroTurbine.
WARNING
Gaseous fuels can be corrosive. Injury to personnel and/or damage to
equipment can occur. Minimize exposure to gaseous fuels and provide
satisfactory fresh airflow when you are around equipment.
The Capstone MicroTurbine operates on approved gaseous fuels. Keep flames, sparks,
pilot lights, equipment that produces electrical arcs, switches or tools, and all other
sources of ignition away from areas where fuel and fumes are present. If there is a fire,
use a multi-purpose dry chemical or CO2 fire extinguisher, and contact the appropriate fire
officials.
Fuel lines must be secure and free of leaks. Fuel lines must also be separated or shielded
from electrical wiring. If you smell fuel fumes, immediately stop operation of the
equipment, close the fuel isolation valve, and locate and repair the source of the leak or
call a qualified professional.
Exhaust Precautions
WARNING
The MicroTurbine exhaust contains nitrogen dioxide and carbon
monoxide, which are poisonous at high concentrations. Make sure there
is satisfactory fresh airflow when you work around the equipment.
WARNING
The exhaust airflow and pipes are hot enough to cause personal injury
or fire. The exhaust airflow can reach temperatures as high as 371 °C
(700 °F). Keep people, equipment, and other items away from the
exhaust airflow and pipes. Always vent exhaust away from personnel.
WARNING
Hot surfaces and hot exhaust can be dangerous. Personal injury and/or
damage to equipment are possible. Be careful when you work on
equipment.
