Always put a short or shunt across the current transformers (C.T.) when working on
metering. Powering up an unshunted C.T. will destroy the C.T. with possible harm to
personnel and metering.

Emergency shutdown procedure:
A.
In an emergency, shut down the MASTER LOAD switch, then the generator. The
MASTER LOAD switch will allow disconnection of all load steps and still allow
the fan motor to run, cooling any heated elements.
B.
The power ON/OFF switch will disconnect both load steps and fan motor. A
customer-supplied Generator Emergency OFF switch should be located near the
Load Bank.
17.
An approved electrical fire extinguisher should be on hand at all times.
18.
It is the responsibility of the customer to take diligent care in installing the Load Bank.
The National Electrical Code (NEC), sound local electrical and safety codes, and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) should be followed when installing the
equipment to reduce hazards to persons and property.
19.
Read and heed all
WARNING
and
CAUTION
statements in the manual.

Review supplemental metering manual prior to operation.
