The S&C IntelliCap Automatic Capacitor Control is connected to switchgear operating
at primary voltage levels . High voltage may be present in the wiring to the switch control
or the switch control itself during certain failures of the switchgear wiring or grounding
system, or because of a failure of the switch itself . For this reason, access to the switch
control should be treated with the same safety precautions that would be applied when
accessing other high-voltage lines and equipment . Follow all locally approved safety
procedures when working on or around this switch control .
Before attempting to access an existing switch installation, check carefully for visible or
audible signs of electrical or physical malfunction (do this before touching or operating
the switch control or any other part of the installation) . These warning signs include
such things as smoke, fire, open fuses, crackling noises, loud buzzing, etc . If a malfunc-
tion is suspected, treat all components of the installation, including the switch control
and associated mounting hardware, as if they were elevated to primary (high) voltage .
