Water damage
DANGER
WET SWITCHBOARDS PRESENT A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND MAY
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. DE-ENERGIZE POWER TO ALL EQUIPMENT
BEFORE SERVICING.
DO NOT WORK ON SURFACES OR FLOORS WHERE THERE IS
STANDING WATER.
DANGER
DO NOT WORK ON SWITCHBOARDS OR ENTER AREAS THAT HAVE
STANDING WATER. DE-ENERGIZE ALL EQUIPMENT IN AREAS WITH
STANDING WATER.
DO NOT WORK ON WET ENERGIZED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
Major accumulation of water or moisture on any part of the
switchboard can cause catastrophic damage to the switchboard. If a
switchboard has been submerged by more than 2 inches or where
running or standing water has had contact with current-carrying
parts, it has sustained significant damage.
WARNING
SWITCHBOARD COMPONENTS, INCLUDING CIRCUIT BREAKERS, FUSIBLE
SWITCHES, METERING, AND SO ON, SUBJECTED TO WATER OR MOISTURE
MAY BE RENDERED UNSAFE. REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED.
The switchboard and its components may be damaged beyond repair
and may need replacement.
1. Do not attempt to clean or repair water-damaged equipment
or components.
2. De-energize the switchboard at its source.
3. Do not energize.
4. Contact Eaton for replacement.
Minor accumulations of moisture, such as condensation, over
a short period of time may be corrected using heat.
De-energize switchboard.
Apply approximately 250 watts per vertical section for a sufficient
period of time until the moisture disappears, then remove all heat
sources and materials used for drying.
Inspect for damage to components and any corrosion. If any dam-
age or corrosion is present, contact Eaton. DO NOT RE-ENERGIZE
SWITCHBOARD.
After the switchboard has completely dried, remove all materials and
tools from the equipment. Inspect all connections for damage and
torque. Re-install all covers, fillers, deadfront assemblies, and side
sheets. Conduct switchboard insulation resistance testing described
in this publication.
Renewal parts
Switchboards can be complex assemblies with unique parts to fit
the specific application and need. The manufacturer offers expertise
with renewal part identification. To ensure safety and to maintain
UL listing, it is essential that only new parts and components
from Eaton be used.
When ordering renewal parts or when requesting information on
the switchboard, it is essential to include as much information
as possible.
Each switchboard will have a nameplate and other identification
marks with details that will help expedite information requests and
orders. The following may be required to help identify parts and
information requests:
•
GO or General Order Number
•
Item number
•
Description of the equipment
•
Supply voltage
•
Equipment ratings
•
Catalog number or style number of part, if available
•
Description of the part
•
Drawing numbers
•
Rating of part(s)
Electrical distribution equipment has a limited life span. As such,
the manufacturer cannot guarantee the availability of obsolete
equipment or parts. Equipment replacement may be recommended.
