TYPICAL START-UP To start up the machine from a complete shutdown, use the following procedure. DO NOT start this machine unless you are completely familiar with the various controls. Perform the Pre-Start Inspection given on the previous page. 1.
All the circuit breakers for the applicable controls and equipment must be closed and power on before proceeding with start-up. These are located primarily on the outside of the Power Control Room (PCR) and in the Operator’s Cab/Anteroom. CAUTION:
DO NOT use circuit breakers as ON/OFF switches. Make sure that all the circuit breakers are ON before starting the machine.
2.
Go to the rear of the right side MCC for the start panel. Both APT1 and APT2 phase sequence lights must be on.
3.
Start air compressors at the left rear of machine.
4.
System ready light must be on. If off press FAULT RESET button once. If System ready light comes on continue, otherwise trouble shoot with HMI in cab or on motion control. IMPORTANT NOTE: During each component start-up always be ready to immediately stop it if there are any unusual sounds, smells, or visual effects. Any time a problem arises, check the OIT display in the Operator’s cab for assistance.
5.
Press SYSTEM RUN button. The water cooling system should start, the Cooling system On light will flash. When both of the cooling pumps are on and the PLC determines the cooling system is operational, The Cooling System On light will turn on steady. The cooling system radiator motors may also start . The Precharge sequence is started and the DC Bus Precharge light will flash (may take up to 30 seconds). When the DC’s reach a preset voltage the DC Bus Precharge light will be on steady. The drive power transformer contactors are told to close. When all three transformers are on line and the DC bus voltage is at rated value the DC Bus On light will turn on. All of the bleed fans and intake fans will start in sequence.
6.
The intake fans can be manually stopped and started from the start panel. The purpose of the fans is to supply cooling air to remove the heat generated by the machine. Additionally the air into the machine provides pressurization to help prevent ingress of dust when the access doors are all closed.
NOTE: If the sequence fails to complete at any point, the cause should be investigated and problems resolved. Do not attempt to precharge more than twice in a 20 minute period because damage may occur.
