additional load circuits
Procedures for adding controller features, rectifiers and batteries
to an operating plant are described in the installation sections of
the associated subsystem manuals. The procedure to add load
circuits, since they are part of the dc distribution subsystem, is
described below.
Adding a Load
Circuit
The following procedure provides the steps to add a new load
circuit to an operating battery plant.
Step A: See Section 3 for details on sizing and obtaining
additional circuit breakers.
Step B: Alarms may be issued during the installation process
(e.g., by a new circuit breaker in the OFF position). Notify the
alarm reporting center that alarms may be received.
Step C: Open the dc distribution cover panel, taking care not to
disturb any load-carrying circuit breakers.
Step D: Locate the intended new breaker position. Spare circuit
breakers may or may not already be in place on the dc
distribution panel, as ordered. Alternatively, spare distribution
leads may or may not have been run to the new load location.
Warning
Procedures in this section may cause power alarms to be
issued temporarily. Notify the alarm reporting center before
starting any installation procedure on an operating battery
plant.
DANGER
Battery voltage is present behind the distribution cover panel.
Remove all jewelry before working in this area. Use insulated
tools only.
Caution
Accidentally or intentionally turning a circuit breaker off may
affect service to load equipment. Take care not to disturb
load- carrying circuits.
