Power-Operated Switch Energization
WARNING
Before energization and at all times when
energized, the Scada-Mate SD switch base and
control unit enclosure, if provided, must be connected
to a suitable earth ground at the base of the pole
and bonded to the system neutral, if present . Proper
precautions must be taken to ensure that the local
earth ground cannot be severed or removed .
