Close and latch the door of the
circuit breaker cell and rack the
type 38-3AH3-GTD ground and test
device to connected position using
the same procedures as for racking
the type 38-3AH3 38 kV circuit
breaker.
Release the latches and open the
cell door and leave the door open.
B2.1.6
Determine if the studs to be
grounded are de-energized. Move
test port slide aside to expose test
ports. Complete the voltage
measurement on each phase.
Withdraw the probe(s). Cover the
test port with the test port slide
immediately after completing
measurements.
B2.1.7
Remove the ground and test device
from the compartment, observing
the racking instructions contained
in the switchgear instruction
manual, E50001-F710-A236-X-
XXXX for type GM38 switchgear.
Close and latch the door of the
circuit breaker cell and rack the
type 38-3AH3-GTD ground and test
device to disconnected position
using the same procedures as for
racking the type 38-3AH3 38 kV
circuit breaker.
Release the latches and open the
cell door, and remove the type
38-3AH3-GTD ground and test
device from the circuit breaker cell
using the same procedures as for
removing the type 38-3AH3 38 kV
circuit breaker. Close the cell door
and secure latches.
B2.2 Procedure for grounding. It is
imperative that the user become
totally familiar with every aspect of
a ground and test device before
using it. The user must be certain
which primary circuits connect to
each primary disconnect (stud),
and the user must know if these
circuits are or could be energized
due to backfeed. The user must
make certain that the primary
circuit is de-energized before
performing any testing, including
testing for insulation resistance.
Make no assumptions, and
double check each step!
B2.2.1
Complete operational checkout of
the ground and test device and
familiarization routine, section B1
of these operation - device types E
and F instructions beginning on
page 37.
Hazardous voltage and high currents.
Can cause death, serious injury and property damage.
Check the following before inserting and racking the ground and test
device in the switchgear:
l
Voltage measuring probe rated for the primary circuit voltage.
l
Voltage measuring probe functional and in calibration.
l
Dielectric rubber gloves in use and tested for adequacy.
l
Sufficient probe or hot stick extension in use.
l
All rules of OSHA complied with.
l
All procedures per NFPA 70E "Standard for electrical safety in the
workplace" complied with.
