Will cause death, serious injury or property damage.
Always de-energize and ground the equipment before maintenance. Read

and understand this instruction manual before using equipment.
Maintenance should be performed only by qualified personnel. The use of
unauthorized parts in the repair of the equipment or tampering by
unqualified personnel will result in dangerous conditions that will cause
death, severe injury or equipment damage. Follow all safety instructions
contained herein.
Arc flash and explosion hazard.

Will cause death, serious injury or property damage.
This equipment is not arc-resistant unless all of the following conditions
are met:
1. All pressure relief devices are free to operate as designed.
2. The fault energy available to the equipment does not exceed the
internal arcing short-circuit current rating and rated arcing duration of
the equipment.
3.
There are no obstructions around the equipment that could direct the
arcing exhaust products into an area intended to be protected.
4. The equipment is installed in accordance with the information in the

instruction manuals and drawings.

Lifting and moving
There are a number of methods that can be
used in handling the medium-voltage
controller that, when properly employed,
will not damage the equipment sections.
The handling method used will be
determined by conditions and available
equipment at the installation site. Lifting
with a crane is the preferred method of
handling; however, overhead obstructions
or low ceilings often dictate that other
methods must be used. Rollers, jacks or
forklift trucks may be used prior to removal
of wooden skids.
Each group of medium-voltage controllers
has provisions for attaching lifting
equipment and is designed for use with a
crane of adequate height and capacity. To
estimate the maximum required crane
capacity, multiply the number of sections to
be lifted by 2,866 lbs (1,300 kg).
A drawing pocket (or holder) is provided on
each lineup of equipment. This drawing
pocket includes a general arrangement

Line-switch interlock (LSI)
All control power derived from the
secondary of the control power transformer
is carried from the contactor to the low-
voltage control panel through a set of
contact fingers mounted on the rear of the
contactor (refer to Figure 31).
These contact fingers, along with the
mating contact block, which is stationary-
mounted on the guide plate, make up the
Line Switch Interlock (LSI). The function of
this interlock is to disconnect the load from
the CPT secondary prior to disengagement
of the main power stabs as the contactor is
racked out.
