Appendix D Integrated Protective Maintenance Grounding Device
The compact design of the IPMG device does not compromise its rugged
construction and proven performance under industrial operating conditions.
Requiring minimal maintenance, this manually operated device is controlled
from the outside of the standard and arc-resistant (ArcShield™) medium
voltage controllers. It is mechanically interlocked to both the main vacuum
contactor and our non-load break isolation switch. These features, along with
its high electrical and mechanical endurance capabilities, provide a long-life
and dependable maintenance free operation.
To enhance your safety program requirements, a visual indication of the blade
positions of the IPMG device (OPEN or CLOSED) is available through the
standard viewing window on the medium voltage compartment door.
The IPMG device is mounted on the controller floor plate or on the top of the
main medium voltage vacuum contactor (for 600/800 A controllers). It is
connected to the three load phases within the main controller using power
cables. Redundant, flexible grounding conductors ensures the lowest
impedance path to ground is maintained when the IPMG device is closed.
Flexible grounding conductors provide low impedance back to the main
ground bus to complete the grounding (earthing) process.
IPMG Operation
The IPMG device is a manually operated earthing device that is controlled by a
direct drive system that is engaged from the exterior of the controller. A
removable operating handle engages or disengages the IPMG device from an
OPEN to CLOSED or CLOSED to OPEN position.
The rotational angle of the switch handle is approximately 180° to engage or
disengage the grounding action of the IPMG device.
