All
main breakers in ESP control room are closed to supply
all transformer rectifiers. All A keys (A-1, A-2, A-3,
etc.) are held in L-O interlocks on the breakers. All
TR splitter switches are locked in the ON position. All
G keys (G1, G2, etc), NT and ST keys are held in the L-C
interlocks on the ground position of the TR splitter switches.
An additional A key for each main breaker is held in the
transfer panel (key exchange box). All access doors are
locked closed and all access door keys (DN & DS) are
held in the transfer panel.

Open breaker A-1.
Turn key A-1 in L-O interlock to lock breaker in
the open position. Key A-1 is now free.
Lock
open all other breakers and free all A keys (A-2,
A-3, A-4, etc.).
Insert all A keys in their respective L-C interlocks
on the "South" side of each TR splitter
switch and turn to unlock. All A keys are now held.
Rotate each TR "South" side splitter switch
handle to the ground position.
Turn the ST key in each L-C interlock locking each
switch handle in the ground position. All ST and
"South" side G keys are now free.
Insert all "South" side G keys (G1, G2,
etc.) into the transfer panel and turn to release
all A keys. The G keys are now held.
Remove all A keys and insert each key in the respective
L-C interlocks on the "North" side of
each TR splitter switch and turn to unlock. All
A keys
are now held.
Rotate each TR "North" side splitter switch
handle to the ground position.
Turn the NT key in each L-C interlock locking each
switch handle in the ground position. All NT and
"North" side G keys are now free.
Insert all NT and ST keys in the transfer panel
to release all DN and DS keys. Turn and remove the
DN and DS keys from the transfer panel.
Note: DN and DS keys are secondary keys and cannot
be removed until all primary keys (NT and ST keys)
are inserted and turned.
Insert the DN and DS keys in each access door interlock
to be opened and turn to unlock. The DN and DS keys
will remain held in each access
door interlock as long as the door is open.
|
To restore service to both chambers, close and lock all
access doors, return all DN and DS keys to the transfer
panel and reverse the above sequence.

The
scheme above represents basic guidelines regarding the
proper interlock sequence for an Electro-Static Precipitator.
The equipment that comprises an E.S.P., or Baghouse can
vary depending upon the manufacturer and age of the equipment.
