SAFETY

Personnel safety is a most vital concern when sectionalizing. Only qualified electrical
personnel should operate this equipment. Always follow your company’s safety procedures.
If any recommendation in this manual conflicts with your company’s safety procedures,
contact the factory for clarification before operating the equipment.

The wearing of insulated safety gloves is strongly recommended while operating the unit
and must be worn when making or breaking connections to the faulted cable being worked
on. ALWAYS ground the faulted cable with a properly sized grounding set before touching
the cable termination and making connections to this equipment .

Always ground the cable to be connected to before connecting or disconnecting this unit.
This equipment is designed to be used on unenergized cable only. Connecting the
equipment to an energized cable causes severe equipment damage.

While using this equipment, all exposed terminations of the cable being worked on must be
roped off or otherwise protected so that the unaware can not come in contact with them.

In sectionalizing, grounding is the most important concern and safety precaution. The
heavy green ground lead must be connected to same ground system to which the cable
neutral is connected. BEFORE USE:

ALWAYS

check to insure that the high voltage output

is tied to the center conductor of the faulted cable and the green high voltage return is
connected to the faulted cable neutral.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE: A full recognition on the part of the operator
of the inherent danger always present with the use of high voltages will be the most
important safety feature that can be applied in the use of this equipment. Your operating
procedures should be so designed as to minimize this danger. The operator of this
equipment should be responsible for seeing that each member of the assisting crew is
thoroughly familiar with the dangers involved.
