SAFETY INTERLOCKSBefore putting the starter into service, it is recom-mended that the user familiarize himself with the safetyinterlocks.Isolation Switch Handle — (See Figure (4) ). The isola-tion switch is opened by moving the handle through avertical arc from the ON to the OFF position, and fromthe OFF position, is can be rotated 90 counterclock-wise to the HORIZONTAL, cr door open position.In both the ON and OFF positions a portion of thehandle housing extends ever the enclosure door, andthus prevents the high voltage door from being opened.To open this door, the handle must be moved to theHORIZONTAL position.With the handle in the OFF position, either a singlepadlock or up to three padlocks locked in place willprevent the handle from being moved to either the ONor the HORIZONTAL position, thus preventing both un-authorized entry into the high voltage compartmentand accidental closing of the isolation switch whilemaintenance work is being done. From the HORIZON-TAL position, the handle cannot be moved to the ONposition,.without first moving to the OrF position.

Door interlocks — With the isolation switch handle Inthe HORIZONTAL position, the high voltage compart-merit door can he opened. As soon as the dcor opens,a mechanical interlock becomes effective. It is de-signed to prevent the user from accidentally operatingthe isolation switch handle and closing the starter onto the line with the enclosure door open.

This interlock is a spring loaded plunger located justbehind the door. When the door is ooen. it extendsand prevents the handle from being accidentally movedto the OFF position. If the user wishes to observe theoperation oi the isolation switch during installation ormaintenance, this interlock must be deliberatelycheated to move the handle to the OFF position. Thisis done by depressing the plunger with a screwdriverwhite moving the handle.Caution — Tills action allows the user to close theswitch on to the line stabs. He should be fully aware ofthe hazarcs. familiar with the operation of the switch,and take all appropriate safety precautions. Thehandle must be returnee to the HORIZONTAL positionto close the high voltage ooor. Moving the handle fromthe vertical OFF position to the HORIZONTAL positionautomatical!', resets the interlock.Contactor — [sodat ten Switch Meehan ?(see Figure (5) ).

SHORT CIRCUIT AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION 7) AM possible safety precautions have been taken,and the installation checked for conformancewith applicable safety codes.

Electrical protection is provided by the Type CLS 700power fuses and the overload relay. The CLS 700 cur-rent limiting power fuses have a special time/currentcharacteristic for motor service, and this characteristicis coordinated with the characteristic of the overloadrelay. Currents greater than full lead motor current, upthrough locked rotor current, will operate the overloadrelay and trip the contactor before the fuses blew. Thisprevents unnecessary blowing of the fuses. Since theinterrupting capacity of the contactor is 75.000 KVA, thepower fuses must operate faster than the overloadrelay when current exceeds this value, in order toprevent damage to the contactor. In all faults above75,000 KVA and within the rating of the equipment, theCLS fuses will operate first.The current transformers, overload relay heaters, andpower fuses are coordinated with specific motor char-acteristics. Therefore the starter must be used with themotor for which it was designed. Motors with specialcharacteristics or loads requiring special protectionoften require other or additional protective relays. Con-sult the instruction leaflet for the particular relaybefore attempting any adjustment or service.

Isolation Switch — Be sure that:1) The power fuses have been properly Installed.

See the permanent operating instructions on theinside of the high voltage door.

2 ) The mechanical interlocks operate freely andare properly adjusted in order to provide theintended protection. See maintenance and repairsection of this instruction leaflet for adjustmentprocedures.

Contactor — Be sure that:1) The blowout irons are forward and down. If the

arc boxes won't go into place, the blowout ironis probably in the wrong position.

2) The arc boxes are in their proper operating po-sition. Push them firmly into place to be surethat the knife blades engage the knife jawsmounted in front of and behind the main contacts.

3) THE FOUR CONTACTOR PHASE BARRIERS AREINSTALLED.

START-UP PRECAUTIONS4) The drawout latch on the lower left hand side of

the contactor is encaged.5) The magnet armature and moving contact system

move freely.

Before attempting to put a newly installed starter intoservice, study the wiring diagram 2nd available in-struction literature.

General Precautions — Be sure that: Control Circuit — Be sure that:1) The corresponding starter and motor are con-

nected as shown on the Westinghouse drawings.This is particularly essential in this class ofmotor starter as the fuse ratings, current trans-formers. and overload heater elements are basedon the characteristics of the particular motor tobe controlled.

2) The starter is connected to a suitable powersupply with characteristics agreeing with motorand starter nameplate data.

3) The motor and machine it drives are properlylined up. bolted down, lubricated, free of ob-structions. and ready to go.

4) Connections are r.eat, tight, of proDer capacity,and in agreement with the wiring diagram.

5) Equipment has been cleaned of dirt, scraps ofwire, tools, and all other foreign material.

6) THE INSULATION LEVEL OF THE STARTERSHOULD BE CHECKED BEFORE THE STARTERIS ENERGIZED. Refer to the maintenance andrepair section of this instruction for additionalinformation regarding the checking of insulationlevel.

1) The high voltage and low voitage control fusesare properly installed.

2) The female low voltage control plug from thelow voltage control pane! has been pushed intothe male control socket on the contactor.

3) The test-run plug on the contactor is pluggedinto the receptacle on the control transformerpanel.

Close the high voltage door, the low voltage door,and then tighten the door latches. Move the isolatingswitch handle from the HORIZONTAL to the OFF posi-tion. The Ampgard starter is now ready tc be energized.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRTo do this:

1) Remove the power fuses.2) Lift the contactor latch on the left hand side of

the contactor, and pry the contactor from its stabconnections, using a “Jiffy Bar”, as outlined inthe installation instruction.

3) Carefully pull the contactor toward you. to thedetent position, which is about 3/4 of the way out.It will again be stopped by the contactor latch.In this drawout position, all routine maintenancecan be carried out. For major overhaul, the con-tactor can be completely removed from the en-closure by taking two more steps:

4) Remove the low voltage control plug from theR.H. side of the contactor.

5) Press down on the contactor stop latch and rollthe contactor out of the enclosure onto the floorusing a “Jiffy Bar’ *, as shown in the installationinstruction.

GENERALAmpgard starters should be operated by authorizedpersonnel only. Personnel authorized to operate theisolation switch and those authorized to inspect, adjust,or replace equipment inside the enclosure should havea complete understanding of the operation of thestarter, and must have thorough training in the safetyprecautions to be followed when working with all highvoltage equipment.A maintenance program should be established as soonas the starter has been installed and put into operation.After the starter has been inspected a number of timesat monthly intervals and the conditions noted, thefrequency of inspection can be increased or decreasedto suit the conditions found, since this will dependupon the severity o* the duty.Before attempting maintenance, consult the specificdiagram and the general 2nd specific device instructionleaflets. These are listed at the end of this leaflet.The photos in the installation instruction (200P026) willaid you in understanding this section.Insulation Level — After installation, and before ener-gizing the starter for the first time, the insulation re-sistance between poles, and from each pole to groundshould be measured and recorded. It is not practicalto specify an absolute value for this reading since it isdependent on other connected apparatus and con-ditions of service. However, any unusually lew readingor abrupt reduction in a reading would indicate apossible source of trouble, and the cause should beinvestigated and corrected.Fuses — The Type CLS700 current limiting fuses shouldbe inspected after each fault-clearing operation, sincethis is the most severe service to which they will besubjected. Check the fuse resistance, and comparethis value with a new fuse. Visual indication of a blownfuse is provided by a colored indicator in the top ofthe fuse. This indicator pops up and is visible whenthe fuse is blown.Blown fuses may be removed and replaced by usingthe fuse puller mounted cn the L.H. upright, just insidethe high voltage door.The correct procedure for replacing fuses is describedcn the instruction sheet (N'P 20CPC27H01) 'which ispermanently fastened inside the high voltage door. Thisinstruction sheet also lists the correct fuse rating andfuse part number for that particular starter. The sametype, rating and part number cf power fuses must beused for replacement in all cases.If for any reason, there is doubt about the conditionof a fuse, a simple test is to check its electrical con-tinuity and resistance.

Contactor — The Type LF50H730 contactor contactscan be easily examined by simply pulling the arcchutes forward to rotate them out of the operatingposition. To make a more detailed examination, toreplace contacts, or to carry out any maintenance work,the contactor can be withdrawn from the enclosure toa drawout position.

TYPE LFM-7 ISOLATION SWITCHRemoval — Any maintenance beyond visual examina-tion should be carried out with the switch removedfrom the enclosure. This will avoid the possible hazardof closing the switch on to an energized line when themechanical interlock has been cheated manually.

To remove the isolation switch from the cabinet:1) De-energize main power feeder, or take pre-

caution noted below.

2) Open the isolation switch.3) Remove the Tyoe CLS 700 power fuses.4) If more accessibility is desired, remove the Type

LF contactor.5) Remove the two bolts located on top of the brace

supporting the isolation switch front casting.6) Slide the isolation switch cut cf the cabinet.

Caution — While it is safe to remove the contactorand isolation switch from the enclosure with the mainline bus energized, once the isolation switch has beenremoved, the fine stab assembly at the back of theenclosure is uncovered, is energized, and is thus ahazard. Be sure to close and !atch the doors, anddisplay a DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE sign on theenclosure.

Examination (See Figures (3) and (6) ) — With theisolation switch on a table or bench, check the followingpoints:

1) Move the operating handle through its full rangeof operation from the HORIZONTAL position,through OFF to CN (the doer interlock has to becheated manually). The handle and all of theoperating mechanism of the switch should movefreely, without binding. This includes the inter-lock mechanism behind the handle, the linefingers and carrier, the insulating shutter at the

4) Adjust the position of the ground bar © sothat the grounding fingers - © are deflected bythe guide rail © and the phase barriers arepushed tight against the rear insulating barrierof the switch.

5) With the handle rn the OFF pcsition, move thecam follower mounting bracket attached to theguide rail ® toward the operating handleuntil the tip of the shutter operator extendingthrough the shutter just touches the left endof the slot in the rear barrier.NOTE — Make sure the cam follower is centeredvertically on the shutter cam. and its line oftravel parallel with the shutter cam. Tighten allbolts.

6) With the starter incoming power line de-ener-gized. install the isolating switch in the enclosure.With the interlock link pulled up against the inter-lock stop bracket (see Fig. (5) ). check that thelatch clearance in step (3) above, is maintained.If not. adjust the length of the link to suit.CAUTION — Since this is an interlock adjustmentprocedure, the adjuster should be sure that theincoming power line to the starter is not ener-gized. as the Interlocks will not provide 2nyprotection.As a final check, install the contactor along withthe isolating switch. With the incoming power linede-enercized, check that: a) the isolation switchcan be operated normally when the contactor isopen, b) the isolation switch handle cannot bemoved from either the ON or OFF position whenthe contactor is closed. The contactor can beblocked closed mechanically or energized froma separate control supply, through the test prug.

2) With the handle in the ON position, the ends ofthe tine fingers should project through theopenings in the shutter and rear barrier.

3) When the isolation switch interlock extension rod(see Fig. (?) ) is pushed toward the front of theswitch( wthe mechanical interlock mjst lock thehandle mechanism, preventing handle movementin either the OFF or ON position. In the OFF po-sition. it is norma! for the shutter to openslightiy when an attempt is made to force theinterlocked handle. The shutter should nevercome in contact with the line fingers.

Isolation Switch Adjustment — Normally, the isolationswitch wit! not require any adjustment ; however, if forany reason parts are removed or replaced, it may benecessary to make seme adjustments in the switchmechanism. The adjustment procedure is as follows:
