Installation instructions areincluded with the mounting frame.1. Check the nameplate ratings. Make sure the ratings, settings,and interface options on the recloser nameplate (see Figures 6and 13) are correct for the planned installation.2. Perform high-potential withstand tests. Prior to installing theNOVA i recloser, perform high-potential withstand tests. Referto the Service Information section for high-potential withstandtest procedures.3. Install the recloser. Install the recloser in the appropriateCooper Power Systems pole- or substation-mounting frame. SeeFigure 7 for moving and lifting instructions.Moving the recloserNOVA i reclosers are shipped in an enclosed crate and palletized.When moving with a fork truck/lift, the recloser must remainbolted to the pallet to avoid damage to the OPEN/CLOSE contactposition indicator.Lifting the recloserFollow all approved safety practices when making hitches andlifting the equipment.
