a. Make the ATS equipment safe for inspection and/or maintenance. Disconnect the line power from equipment being serviced by opening the next highest disconnect device. Make
certain that any accessory control power is switched off by disconnecting all control plugs.
b. Inspect the structure area for safety hazards or potential maintenance problems. Inspect the area, especially where switching device is installed, for any safety hazards, including personnel
safety and fire hazards. Exposure to certain chemical vapors can cause deterioration of electrical connections.
Inspect for accumulated dirt, loose hardware, or physical damage.
Examine the primary insulation for evidence of cracking or overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration,
melting, or blistering of conductor insulation, or as pitting or melting of conductor surfaces due to arcing.
Inspect the secondary control connections for damage and the control wiring for insulation integrity.
c. Inspect the power contactor for dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, or corrosion. Remove dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture, and corrosion contamination from the surface of the switching device
using a dry soft lint-free cloth, dry soft bristle brush, and vacuum cleaner. Do not blow debris into the power
contactor. If contamination is found, look for the source and fix the problem.
d. Check for material integrity, uneven wear, discoloration, or loose hardware. Severe material cracking will require replacement and loose hardware will need to be tightened.
e. Check the terminals and connectors for looseness or signs of overheating. Overheating will show as discoloration, melting, or blistering of the conductor insulation.
Connections that do not have signs of looseness or overheating should not be disturbed.
f. Contact Inspection Procedure Remove all the screws on the molded cover over the power assembly. Inspect the contacts. Contact Eaton Care
(1-877-ETN-CARE, Option-2) if the contacts have excessive wear. Reinstall the molded cover and tighten
screws to 17 in-lbs.
g. Exercise the power contactor if it is not often exercised while in operation. If the power contactor is used for frequent switching during normal operation, this step can be disregarded.
This will permit a wiping action by the contacts.
h. Return the ATS equipment to service. Make certain all barriers are in place and doors closed. Reapply secondary and primary power.
