Form 6 triple-single microprocessor-based rack mount recloser control
18 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS MN280084EN July 2018
Grounding the control
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Recloser and control must
be solidly grounded. Follow all locally approved
procedures and safety practices when grounding this
equipment. Improper grounding can result in contact
with high voltage, which will cause death or severe
personalinjury. G115.1
Both Form 6-TS rack mount control modules (interface
power and control) must be solidly grounded prior
to installation or energization. Refer to Figure11 for
groundingconnections.
ote:N Grounding of the mounting panel or standard
19”rack does not eliminate the ground requirement
for the control modules.
The grounding connection on the back of each control
module will accommodate a spade connector or ring
terminal that fits on a .25 inch diameter grounding terminal
stud ( Figure10 ).
ote:N Control grounding must comply with all locally
approved procedures and safety practices that apply
in a substation or other appropriate indoor facility.
The NOVA-TS recloser(s) that the control will be
connected to must also be properly grounded per
the recloser grounding requirements. Refer to the
instructions applicable to your recloser:

NOVA-TS Triple-Single (3) reclosers. Refer to Service
Information MN280045EN NOVA-TS Recloser Installation
and Operation Instructions.
Separately ground the junction box directly to
stationground.
Ground shields on both ends of the customer-supplied
control cable.
ote:N Do not expose the cable shield on the control side
more than 12 inches from TB2 on the interface power
module (Figure11).
ote:N Splice the cable shield and ground it to the ground
terminal on the back of the interface power module
(below TB2) and directly to station ground.
