Checking customer receptacle voltage pins with customer CB on (plug in)

Procedure

  1. Remove the lockout tag and/or device that was applied to each customer mainline AC voltage circuit breaker, then switch on the customer circuit breaker.
  2. Prepare the multimeter to read line voltage AC.
    DANGER
    Dangerous voltages may be present. Do not touch the internal parts (pins and connectors) of the customer receptacle.
  3. If installing 3 phase power, measure the voltage between the ground pin and each voltage pin ( A ,  B , and  C ) on the customer outlet. See Figure 2 for the location of the voltage pins.

    Are the voltages within 10% of each other?

    • Yes, continue with the next step.
    • No, inform the customer that the voltages are not correct. Do not continue until the voltages are correct.
  4. Locate the agency label on the inside front left wall of the rack, halfway from the top (near the front of PPS E2). See Figure 1. The label will include the voltage, current, and phase specifications for this model. Measure the voltage between each pair of voltage pins (for three phase  A  to  B ,  B  to  C , and  C  to  A or for single phase  A  to  B ) on the customer outlet. Refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 for the location of the voltage pins. Verify that the customer AC input voltage that you just measured matches the machine input voltage information on the label.

    Do the voltages correspond with the label?
