Safety Precautions

Carefully read and follow to the safety precautions outlined below before attempting to lift, move, install, use, or maintain HVL/cc Metal-Enclosed Switchgear and its components.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, NOM-029-STPS-2011, or CSA Z462. Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with medium voltage circuits should perform the instructions in this bulletin. Personnel must understand the hazards involved in working with or near medium voltage equipment. Qualified electrical personnel must perform work in accordance with national and local electric codes. Perform such work only after reading and understanding all of the instructions contained in this bulletin. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment. The Live Line Indicator is not an indicator of the absence of voltage. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off. Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on the equipment, disconnect all sources of electric power. Assume that all circuits are live until they have been completely de-energized, tested, grounded, and tagged. Pay particular attention to the design of the power system. Consider all sources of power, including the possibility of backfeeding. Before making any electrical connection, ensure that all leads to be connected are de-energized with proper safety grounds applied. Metal-enclosed switchgear have interlocks designed to minimize hazards to the user. It is not possible to eliminate every hazard with interlocks. The user of this device is responsible for recognizing the potential hazards, for wearing protective safety equipment, and for taking adequate safety precautions. Do not make any adjustments to the equipment or operate the system with safety features removed. Contact your local Schneider Electric representative for additional instructions if the device does not function as described in this manual. Handle this equipment carefully and install, operate and maintain it correctly in order for it to function properly. Carefully inspect your work area and remove any tools and objects left inside the equipment. Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on the power to this equipment. All instructions in this manual are written with the assumption that the customer has taken all these measures before performing maintenance or testing. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
