SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!! CAUTION - High Voltage!!
WARNING - THE EQUIPMENT COVERED BY THIS PUBLICATION MUST BE SELECTED
FOR A SPECIFIC APPLICATION AND MUST BE INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WHO ARE THOROUGHLY TRAINED AND WHO UNDERSTAND ANY HAZARDS
WHICH MAY BE INVOLVED. THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN WRITTEN FOR SUCH QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL EXCLUSIVELY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR ADEQUATE
TRAINING IN SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT.
FOR MAKING ANY CHANGE IN THE CONFIGURATION FIRST OPEN THE
ISOLATION SWITCH AND WAIT FOR 5-10 MINUTES TO SELF DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR BANK.
FINALLY DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR BANK USING EARTHING ROD PROVIDED TO ENSURE SAFE
OPERATION!!
·
Only qualified electricians should handle the
installation of this capacitor bank, otherwise electric shock or fire may
occur.
·
Improper handling may cause mis-operation and
reduce the life of the capacitor bank.
·
This manual should be given to the user of this
product and should be kept in a safe place until the capacitor bank is removed
from service.
·
Disconnect all electrical power from the circuit
into which the capacitor bank is being installed. Extreme caution must be taken
to prevent contact with high voltage during installation, operation and service
of this equipment. Accidental contact with high voltage can result in personal
injury or death.
·
Capacitors must be fully discharged prior to
performing any service, maintenance, or replacement of any part of the
capacitor bank. Time constant of each capacitor is five minutes and hence the capacitors
will store energy for a time period of more than five minutes. Accidental contact
with energized parts may cause personal injury or death.
·
There can be several energized parts inside the
capacitor bank while power is applied. Disconnect all electrical power to the
circuit before installing or servicing the capacitor bank.
·
The ground terminal should always be connected
to the ground using appropriate bus bar. Lack of ground connection or improper
grounding may result in electric shock or fire.
·
Install capacitor bank in accordance with all
applicable local electrical standards. Failure to properly install capacitor
bank in accordance with local electrical safety standards may cause electric
shock, fire or service disruption.
·
Installed capacitor bank does not have any
enclosure, accidental contact with live parts. Accidental contact with energized parts may
cause personal injury or death.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
OF THIS EQUIPMENT BE HANDLED BY AN ELECTRICIAN, ENGINEER OR TECHNICALLY
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH EXPERIENCE IN ELECTRICAL POWER EQUIPMENT.
