Procedures
1. Prepare for procedure as follows.
WARNING: Fuel hazard! Shut off fuel supply. Failure to observe this warning can
result in personal injury, death, and/or equipment damage.
a. For C200 microturbine(s):
(1) Issue Stop command for affected microturbine.
(2) Shut off fuel inlet supply.
(3) Ensure that microturbine chassis remains properly grounded throughout
procedure.
(4) If microturbine is connected to grid, disconnect and lock out from utility in
accordance with local electrical regulations.
(5) If battery packs are installed, turn OFF and lock out main battery pack circuit
breakers, and disconnect battery cables.
(6) Fully isolate microturbine from any other power sources (for example, solid
state relays on user communications board).
(7) Wait at least ten minutes to fully discharge power from the system.
(8) Use DMM to verify that there is no voltage on DC bus and no voltage on high
voltage AC terminal block.
b. For C1000 Series:
(1) Issue Stop command for affected bay(s).
(2) Open C1000 Series Enclosure electrical panel door to access circuit breakers.
(3) Turn OFF and lock out main circuit breaker for affected bay(s).
(4) Turn OFF and lock out auxiliary circuit breaker for affected bay(s).
(5) Open engine-side door on affected bay(s) and prop open.
(6) Shut off fuel inlet supply to bay at ball valve located inside bay door.
(7) Ensure that C1000 enclosure remains properly grounded throughout
procedure.
(8) If battery packs are installed in affected bay, lock main battery pack circuit
breakers in OFF position and disconnect battery cables.
(9) Fully isolate microturbine from any other power sources (for example, solid
state relays on user communications board).
(10) Wait at least ten minutes to fully discharge power from the system.
(11) Use DMM to verify that there is no voltage on DC bus and no voltage on LCM
AC output.
NOTE: If wires/cables are not labeled, label or color-code them before disconnecting.
