Returning Equipment to Service
When returning the equipment to service, the following
procedures should be observed:
STEP 1.
Make sure the load-interrupter switch and
fault-interrupter grounding means are
removed.
STEP 2.
Make certain the load-interrupter switches and
fault interrupters are in the cor rect
Open
or
Closed
positions.
STEP 3.
If a pad-mounted enclosure is furnished, close
and padlock the termination compartment
before energizing the circuit and operating any
switching devices.
STEP 4.
Padlock the switchgear and low-voltage com-
partment or enclosure before leaving the site—
even momentarily. See Figure 51. Observe this
procedure even in those cases where the gear is
accessible only to qualifi ed persons.
Enclosure Finish
The responsibility for ensuring that the fi nish protects
the enclosure lies with both the man ufacturer and
the user. Enclosures provided are fi nished with S&C’s
Ultradur® II Outdoor Finish, which provides lasting
protection. To retain this protection, the user should take
periodic corrective action as follows:
STEP 1.
Touch-up any penetration of the fi nish to bare
metal—such as scratches and abrasions
caused by shipping or vandalism—to maintain
the original integrity. S&C touch-up fi nish and
primer are available in aerosol spray cans. See
Figure 52. No other fi nish or primer is approved.
The area to be touched up should be cleaned to
remove all oil and grease. Sand the area,
removing any traces of rust that may be present,
and make sure all edges are feathered before
applying primer.
STEP 2.
Provide an occasional simple wash
down—
such as an automobile would be given—to
remove surface contaminants. Use any
ordinary mild household detergent solu tion.
STEP 3.
In those cases where the enclosure must be
refi nished by the user before the fi nish has
weathered—for example, to match other
equipment—a special precaution must be
taken. The entire surface must be sanded to
provide a tooth to bond the new coat to the S&C
Ultradur II Outdoor Finish.
