Generator Isolating for Maintenance
When you service an electric power generation set or when you repair an electric power generation set, follow the procedure below:
- Stop the engine.
- Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" or similar warning tag to the engine prime mover starting circuit. Disconnect the engine starting circuit.

- Disconnect the generator from the distribution system. When possible, remove the HV circuit breaker to the test position. This will ensure complete isolation of generator winding to the bus.
- Lock out the circuit breaker. Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" or similar warning tag to the circuit breaker. Refer to the electrical diagram. Verify that all points of possible reverse power flow have been locked out.
- Remove the fuses for the HV transformers for the following circuitry:
- power
- sensing
- control
- power
- Attach a "DO NOT OPERATE" or similar warning tag to the generator excitation controls.
- Remove the cover of the generator's terminal box (high voltage outlet).
- Use an audio/visual proximity tester in order to verify that the generator is de-energized. This tester must be insulated for the proper voltage rating. Follow all guidelines in order to verify that the tester is operational.
- Determine that the generator is in a de-energized condition. Add ground straps to the HV conductors or terminals. During the entire work period, these ground straps must remain connected to the conductors and to the terminals.
