2.
Perform high-potential withstand tests
. Prior to
installing the NOVA STS recloser, perform high-potential
withstand tests. Refer to the
Service information
section for high-potential withstand test procedures.
This test will help identify any shipping damage
affecting the dielectric condition of the recloser or the
vacuum integrity of the interrupter.

Moving the recloser
The NOVA STS reclosers are shipped palletized (bolted onto
a pallet). When moving with a fork truck/lift, the recloser
must remain bolted to the pallet to avoid damage.
Eaton recommends transporting Cooper Power series NOVA
reclosers in the closed position to maximize the operational
performance of the unit.
Lifting the recloser
Follow all approved safety practices when making hitches
and lifting the equipment. Lift the unit smoothly and do not
allow the unit to shift.
CAUTION
Tip-over hazard . High center of gravity . Use a 4-point
hitch to prevent switchgear from overturning during
lifting operations . Improper lifting can result in personal
injury or equipment damage .
