INSPECTION PRIOR TO ENERGIZING

1.  Before energizing the motor control center

(MCC), conduct a thorough inspection to make
certain that all foreign materials such as tools,
scraps of wire and other debris are removed
from all units and the structure. Remove any
accumulation of dust and dirt with a vacuum
cleaner.

2.  All circuit connections are tightened at time of

assembly by power-driven tools with controlled
torque. However, the vibrations experienced in
transit may loosen some of these connections.
Check at least 10% of the total connections for a
tight connection. 

Should this spot-check

reveal some loose connections, it will be
necessary to check all connection points.

The connections to be checked include bus
hardware, circuit breaker and switch terminals,
contactor and relay terminals and terminal
blocks. Always check the incoming line
connections. Tighten to the torque values shown
in Tables 8-1.

3.  Remove all blocks or other temporary holding

means used for shipment from all component
devices in the MCC interior.

4.  Check the enclosure to see that it has not been

damaged so as to reduce electrical spacings.

5.  Compare all circuits for agreement with the

wiring  diagrams which accompany the MCC. Be
sure that each motor is connected to its intended
starter.

6.  Make certain that field wiring is clear of live

busses and physically secured to withstand the
effects of fault current.

7.  Check to determine that all grounding

connections are made properly.

8.  Check all devices for damage. Make all

necessary repairs or replacements, prior to
energizing.

9.  Manually exercise all switches, circuit breakers,

and other operating mechanisms to make
certain that they are properly aligned and
operate freely.

10.  Test any ground-fault protection systems that

were furnished.

11.  Set any adjustable current and voltage trip

mechanisms to the proper values.

12.  Ensure that overload relay heater elements are

installed and selected to the full-load current
shown on the nameplate of each motor.

13.  Install power circuit fuses in the fusible switches

in accordance with NEC application
requirements. Make sure that fuses are
completely inserted in the clips provided. Do not

attempt to defeat the rejection feature on the
fuse clip, when provided.

14.  Do not operate a current transformer with its

secondary circuit open. Insure current
transformer is connected to a load, or a
secondary shorting bar is installed.

15.  To prevent possible damage to equipment or

injury to personnel, check to insure that all parts
and barriers that may have been removed
during wiring and installation have been properly
reinstalled.
