1-2 G30 GENERATOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUALFOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1Only qualified personnel are to operate the device. Such personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all safetycautions and warnings in this manual and with applicable country, regional, utility, and plant safety regulations.Hazardous voltages can exist in the power supply and at the device connection to current transformers, voltagetransformers, control, and test circuit terminals. Make sure all sources of such voltages are isolated prior toattempting work on the device.Hazardous voltages can exist when opening the secondary circuits of live current transformers. Make sure thatcurrent transformer secondary circuits are shorted out before making or removing any connection to the currenttransformer (CT) input terminals of the device.For tests with secondary test equipment, ensure that no other sources of voltages or currents are connected to suchequipment and that trip and close commands to the circuit breakers or other switching apparatus are isolated,unless this is required by the test procedure and is specified by appropriate utility/plant procedure.When the device is used to control primary equipment, such as circuit breakers, isolators, and other switchingapparatus, all control circuits from the device to the primary equipment must be isolated while personnel are workingon or around this primary equipment to prevent any inadvertent command from this device.Use an external disconnect to isolate the mains voltage supply.Personal safety can be affected if the product is physically modified by the end user.
