A2.2.10
Extend the control cable to its full
length, so that the CLOSE-OPEN
pushbutton control station is as far
from the switchgear compartment
to be grounded as possible, and off
to the side rather than in front of
the switchgear compartment to be
grounded. Verify that no person is
in the area in front of the
switchgear compartment. Depress
the close pushbutton on the
remote pushbutton station. The
ground and test device motor
should begin to charge the closing
spring, and when the spring
charging cycle is complete, the
ground and test device should
immediately close. When the
ground and test device closes, the
primary circuit for the studs to be
grounded should be grounded.
Confirm that the open/close
indicator on the ground and test
device indicates the device is
closed.
A2.2.11 Return the selector switch to the
OFF position. It is recommended
that the selector switch be
padlocked in this position to
prevent unauthorized opening of
the device, which would remove
the ground from the primary
circuit. The pushbutton station and
control cable may be unplugged,
coiled and stored. In a manner
similar to step A2.2.6 on page 26,
perform voltage measurements on
each phase to confirm that the
desired studs are de-energized.
A2.2.12 When it is desired to remove the
ground, reconnect the pushbutton
station and control cable, if it was
removed at step A2.2.11.
A2.2.13 Remove the padlock, if present, at
the selector switch. Select the TRIP
(OPEN) position at the selector
switch. Check that control power is
available in the switchgear
compartment.
Hazardous voltage and high currents.
Can cause death, serious injury and property damage.
Extend the control cable to its full length.
Use the CLOSE-OPEN pushbutton control station as far from the
switchgear compartment to be grounded as possible and off to the side
rather than in the front.
Make sure that no person is in the area in front of the switchgear
compartment to be grounded.
