Water Damage
DO NOT WORK ON SURFACES OR FLOORS
WHERE THERE IS STANDING WATER.
DO NOT WORK ON WET ENERGIZED
ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT.
Major accumulation
of water or moisture on any
part of the panelboard can cause catastrophic
damage to the panelboard. If a panelboard has
been submerged by more than 2 inches or where
running or standing water has had contact with
current carrying parts, it has sustained significant
damage.
The panelboard and its components may be
damaged beyond repair and may need replacement.
1. Do not attempt to clean or repair
water-damaged equipment or
components.
2. De-energize the panelboard at its
source.
3. Do not energize.
4. Contact Eaton Electrical for
replacement.
Minor
accumulations of moisture, such as
condensation, over a short period of time may be
corrected using heat. De-energize panelboard.
Apply approximately 250 watts per vertical section
for a sufficient period of time until the moisture
disappears, then remove all heat sources and
materials used for drying. Inspect for damage to
components and any corrosion. If any damage or
corrosion is present, contact Eaton Electrical. DO
NOT RE-ENERGIZE PANELBOARD. After the
panelboard has completely dried, remove all
materials and tools from the equipment. Inspect all
connections for damage and torque. Re-install all
covers, fillers, dead-front assemblies and side
sheets. Conduct panelboard insulation resistance
testing described in this publication.
Renewal Parts
To ensure safety and to maintain UL
TM
listing and
CSA
TM
approval, it is essential that only new parts
and components from Eaton Electrical be utilized.
When ordering renewal parts or when requesting
information on the panelboard, it is essential to
include as much information as possible.
Each panelboard will have a nameplate and other
identification marks with details that will help
expedite information requests and orders. The
following may be required to help identify parts and
information requests.
