Maintenance
Federal Pacific Pad-mounted Switchgear does not normally require routine
mechanical or electrical maintenance. However, the following are some
recommendations for enhancing continued service of the equipment.
1. Yearly mechanical exercising of the switch is recommended.
The switchgear must be completely de-energized from all sources
before any attempt is made to enter switchgear.
2. Check for cleanliness generally, but particularly for accumulation of
any foreign material on insulators.
Do not put grease on switch probe or puffer.
3. If the switch is closed into a short circuit within the making capacity
rating and the short circuit is cleared by circuit breakers or fuses,
the switch should not sustain damage that will require major repairs.
However, the switch should be inspected before returning to service
to determine switch condition.
