SMARTPULSE™ MV INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Section 3 – Start-up Guide
This quick start guide provides a brief overview of the steps required to use this High Resistance Grounding Equipment but
is not meant to be a substitute for reading the entire manual.
Please refer to section 4 for setting suggestions or reasons to change from default.
3.1 Physical Installation
Once removed from the shipping pallet and packaging, secure the unit to the floor using the provisions in the base. In
one of the conduit entry areas noted on the delivered unit enclosure drawings, cut an appropriate access hole to bring in
the required connection. See the included wiring schematic for detail on the required connections. The ground connection can
be routed through the same opening or if more convenient, a second entrance can be added in another location.
3.2 Pre-energization Checks
Perform the following checks before energizing the HRG unit:
•
Inspect the enclosure interior for connections that may have come loose in shipping.
•
Check continuity of all fuses.
•
For units connected to power transformers with wye secondaries, ensure that the power transformer neutral is
only connected to the HRG unit.
•
Check the resistance from terminal 6 of the control cabinet disconnect switch to ground. This should match the
drawing value for the default resistor tap.
•
If the unit is equipped with an anti-condensation heater, verify the thermostat is set correctly for your environment.
3.3 Electrical Connection and Start-up
Connect the required phases (see wiring schematic for connections) to the appropriate points on the disconnect switch or
CPT. Connect the internal ground bus to the system ground. See Appendix B for recommended wire sizes.
