Before attempting to access an existing installation, check carefully for visible or audible signs of electrical or physical malfunction (do this before touching or operating the BankGuard Plus Control or any other part of the installation). These warning signs include such things as smoke, fire, open fuses, crackling noises, loud buzzing, etc. - Page 6 Make the connections to the terminal strips on the back of the control device. The BankGuard Plus Control includes numbered terminal strips on the back of the enclosure for external control-wiring connections. See Figure 1, Table 1, and the electrical diagrams at the end of this instruction sheet.
- Page 7 Table 1. Terminal strip contact functions. NOTICE BankGuard Plus relay contacts are rated for: 16A @ 250 Vac, 0.5A @ 125 Vdc, and 16A @ 24 Vdc. Installation of an interposing relay is mandatory if these ratings could be exceeded.
- Page 8 If necessary, connect the potential devices or voltage transformers used for unbalance compensation. If the BankGuard Plus Control uses the optional unbalance compensation feature, you must also connect the output terminals of other voltage monitoring devices: A. To detect and compensate for the inherent capacitor bank imbalance only, in applications where the source is grounded, connect to one of the following: •...
- Page 9 The circuits connecting the potential devices/voltage transformers to the BankGuard Plus Control must be free of variable loads, variable voltage drops, and ground loops. This insures that the monitored voltages accurately represent the magnitude and phase angle of the bus voltages.

Page 11: Grounded Wye Banks
For a grounded wye-connected capacitor bank, the BankGuard Plus control requires three potential devices to monitor intermediate tap point voltages. The intermediate tap point for each phase of the bank should be located as follows: •... - Page 12 Before attempting to access an existing installation, check carefully for visible or audible signs of electrical or physical malfunction (do this before touching or operating the BankGuard Plus Control or any other part of the installation). These warning signs include such things as smoke, fire, open fuses, crackling noises, loud buzzing, etc.

Page 13: Test The Control
Grounded Wye Banks • Induced voltages in control wiring. Proper shielding is important. • Ground loops caused by differences in voltage between the grounding points of tap-point potential devices and those of phase-to-ground potential devices. Preferably, the secondaries of all the potential devices should be grounded at one point (per proposed ANSI C57.13.3, “Guide for the Grounding of Instrument Transformer Secondary Circuits and Cases”). -
