PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
MAKING POWER CABLE CONNECTIONS TO THE TWPS
WARNING
Potential electrical hazard to other personnel.
The crew member who is
establishing electrical power to the TWPS should make the cable connections from
the pumps to the Power Distribution Panel (PDP). Before making the power cable
connections, notify all crew members. Do NOT continue with these procedures
until all crew members are notified. Failure to observe this warning may result in
injury or death due to electrocution.
1. Connect the Motor-Driven Pump Skid P-2 and MF Pump Skid P-3 electrical power cables to the
PDP as follows (see Figure 9):
WARNING
Electrical hazard. The TWPS operates on 416 volts AC. FIRST connect the pump
skid power cables to their respective pump skid junction box. NEXT, make sure
the Main Breaker on the PDP is switched to OFF. LAST, connect the pump skid
power cables to the PDP power outlet. Failure to observe this warning may result
in serious injury or death from electrocution.
CAUTION
Connector damage or poor electrical connection. Use the fine brush from the tool
box to clean dust and sand out of connectors, terminals and dust caps before
making or capping a connection. Install the dust cap provided with connectors
and terminals whenever a connector is disconnected from its terminal. Failure to
observe this caution may result in connector damage or a poor electrical
connection.
a. The crew member who is establishing electrical power to the TWPS should make the
cable connections from the pumps to the PDP. Do NOT continue with these procedures
until all crew members are notified.
b. Uncoil the electrical power cables for the P-2, and P-3 skid junction boxes.
c. FIRST, connect the power cables to the power input terminal on the P-2 and P-3 skid
junction boxes.
d. NEXT, switch the Main Breaker on the PDP to OFF. (Typically at this stage, the Main
Breaker will be ON and the air compressor will be running).
e. LAST, connect the power cables to their power source connector terminal at the PDP.
