Energizing Equipment
Energizing Procedure
1. Review any additional instructions supplied for the proper operation of
special units such as variable frequency drives, soft starters, etc., with
appropriate and qualified personnel.
2. Ensure that there is no load on the motor control center when it is
energized. De-energize all main and unit disconnect devices. Also, make
sure any associated remote devices are de-energized.
3. Energize the motor control center remote power source.
4. Energize the main devices followed by the feeder devices and the
branch circuit devices. Always energize from the source of the system,
working toward the loads.
ATTENTION
This procedure is provided as a general guidance for
energizing a newly installed CENTERLINE Motor
Control Center and should be used after the Final Check
procedure has been completed, (see Chapter 3, Final
Checklist Before Energizing).
ATTENTION
Energizing a motor control center for the first time is
potentially dangerous. Serious damage and/or personal
injury can result when the power is turn on. Therefore,
only qualified personnel should energize the equipment.
ATTENTION
Disconnecting device handles should be operated with a
firm, direct motion and should not be “teased” into the
closed (ON/I) position.
