Arcing damage to insulation 

Some organic insulating materials carbonize when 
subjected to the heat of an electrical arc and lose 
their insulating properties. Any insulation found 
to be carbon-tracked must be replaced before 
re-energizing.

Water-soaked equipment

 

Electrical equipment exposed to water can be 
extremely hazardous if reenergized without 
performing a proper evaluation and taking 
necessary actions. Reductions in the integrity 
of electrical equipment due to moisture can affect 
the ability of the equipment to perform its 
intended function. 

Damage to electrical equipment can also result 
from flood waters contaminated with chemicals, 
sewage, oil, and other debris, which will affect the 
integrity and performance of the equipment. Ocean 
water and salt spray can be particularly damaging 
due to the corrosive and conductive nature of the 
saltwater residue.

Do not energize equipment that is exposed to flood 
or other contaminated water.  Consult ABB Field 
Services for guidance.

When equipment has become exposed to non-
contaminated water observe the following points 
during maintenance: Completely de-energize the 
switchboard. Carefully clean and dry all parts of the 
switchboard. When using heaters, make sure the 
temperature does not exceed 180° F. Replace all 
fuses. Inspect all individual devices for the entrance 
of water, dirt, or foreign matter. Replace all sealed 
devices and circuit breakers.

Before re-energizing the switchboard, perform 
a megohm resistance test, as described in the 
Testing and Inspection section on page 23. If 
assistance or guidance is required, contact your 
local service engineer. Your supplier’s service shop 
may have facilities for reconditioning equipment 
and devices. Water soaked equipment will void the 
factory warranty.

Spare parts 

Spare-parts stock for the components of the 
switchboard, such as bus and insulators, is not 
recommended. When components must be 
ordered, please refer to the nameplate marking and 
shop drawing number and order by description. 
Replacement parts and devices, such as circuit 
breakers, meters, and switches, will vary due to 
the variety of installations.
