Electrical Testing
All wiring must be checked and tested to ensure that all circuits are according to plan and that there are no unwanted opens, shorts,
or grounds.
Do not apply power until the following steps are complete:
1.
Test the continuity of wiring to verify the correct phasing and grounding connections.
2.
Measure the insulation resistance to ensure that the system does not have any short circuits or unwanted grounds.
Maintenance
WARNING
Electrical power must be turned OFF before and during installation and maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious or fatal
injuries due to electrocution.
Electrical and mechanical inspection of all components must be performed regularly. It is recommended that inspections be performed
once a year (minimum).
In addition to these required maintenance procedures, we recommend an Electrical Preventive Maintenance program as described in
the National Fire Protection Association Bulletin NFPA No. 70B.
WARNING—MODIFICATIONS
Do not modify these devices in any way. Replace any missing or broken parts with proper Appleton replacement parts. Modification of
these devices or substitution of parts with non-standard parts may result in serious or fatal personal injury from electrocution.
WARNING—PRODUCT DAMAGE
If any part of the plug appears to be missing, broken, or show signs of damage—discontinue use immediately! This condition could
cause serious or fatal personal injury due to electrocution and/or equipment damage. Repair with the proper Appleton replacement
part(s) before continuing service.
During the inspections, perform the following steps:
1.
Inspect all contact wire terminals for tightness and retorque if necessary.
NOTE:
Discoloration due to excessive heat is an indicator
of potential issues and should be throughly investigated and repaired as necessary.
2.
ECP Plugs: Check grounding and bonding for correct installation. Secure connections and retorque if necessary.
3.
Check gaskets for deterioration and replace if necessary.
4.
Clean exterior surfaces to ensure the nameplates remain legible.
5.
Inspect cable grip tightness to ensure proper cord/cable gripping.
6.
Torque all screws as described in the “Installation” section before reusing the device.
7.
Inspect all parts and replace those which are broken or excessively worn.
8.
Check the contacts for signs of excessive arcing or burning and replace if necessary.
