MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
In order to ensure continued reliable and safe
operation of the equipment, a program of periodic
maintenance must be established. Operating and
environmental conditions will usually dictate the
frequency of inspection required. NFPA Publication
70B “Electrical Equipment Maintenance" may be used
as a guide for setting up the maintenance program.
Contact with energized
components can cause severe
injury, death and property
damage. Turn off and lock out
primary and control circuit
power before servicing.
Improper maintenance can
cause severe injury, death and
property damage. Only
qualified and authorized
persons are to install, operate
or service this equipment.
Grease is conductive. Do not
allow grease or any other
substances to contaminate
insulating materials.
Contaminated insulators can
allow a short circuit or ground
fault to occur.
NOTE:
Refer to the SAFETY section of this
manual for important information.
MAINTENANCE RECORD
Keep a permanent record of all maintenance work.
At a minimum, this record should include information
on:
1. Items inspected
2. Reports of any testing
3. Equipment condition
4. Corrective actions or adjustments
5. Date of work
6. Comments
The degree of detail of the record will depend
somewhat on the operating conditions.
SERVICING EQUIPMENT
For your safety, turn off and lock out main and control
circuit power before servicing the contactor. Certain
minimum safety procedures must be followed:
1. Only
