Initial safety check of the Motor Control Unit
Safety is always important when working on the Hull Unit and the Motor Control Unit. High voltages are used. The initial settings must be verified before the Hull Unit can be started for the first time.
Prerequisites
•  The SU90 system is turned off.
•  The circuit breaker for the 3-phase AC power is disengaged.
•  All cable connections are made.
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic testing, as well as the necessary tools for relevant disassembly/assembly of parts for test access. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment.
Context
High voltages are used. This equipment must be serviced only by qualified personnel familiar with high-voltage equipment and the potential hazards involved. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Procedure
1 Make sure that the 3-phase AC power is disconnected, and that the circuit breakers are disengaged in the ship’s fuse box.
2 Use a spanner to open the door on the Motor Control Unit.
3 Locate the Motor Protecting Switch (S301). Check that the switch is in position OFF.
4 Locate the Hoist/Lower Switch (S302). Check that the switch is in position STOP.
