No testing of breakers during typical maintenance.

All connections to be Thermal Scanned with recordable equipment.



Mechanical Inspection -

Visually Inspect switchgear for damage

Test keyed interlock systems for proper function

Verify breakers trip and reset

Tighten bus bar connections and/or verify connections with a millivolt drop test (where permitted)

Inspect for proper grounding



Electrical Inspection-

Test all lights and fuses

Verify all meters and displays are functional

Verify all interface panels are functional

Check all pre-alarms and shut down functions

Verify and set generator voltage and frequency

Electrically operate breakers

Verify operation of protective relays



Annual Service of Switch Gear

o Using a thermal imager – review all breakers and connections

o Verify proper torque on all connections and lugs

o Clean and secure cabinets



Upgrade Current Switch Gear

o Obtain Arcflash certification in accordance with OSHA regulations and NFPA 70E for Building 83 switchgear

Arc study will entail all breakers to be tested and trip setting verified for each.

Any details for updating to meet current codes or safety concerns will be addressed during study.

Switchgear is currently equipment with source selection switch and Tie switching capabilities.

The Switchgear is obsolete, limited parts are scarce and the manufacture no longer supports this equipment (GE).

This switchgear may not meet 2017 codes.
