Follow

This topic describes the installation and removal of the Shaft Grounding and Contact Ropes.

NOTE:

When changing ropes at the Shaft Grounding Assembly online, always have one rope installed in the Rope Guide Assembly to maintain proper ground. Cutsforth recommends that workers do not change Shaft Contact Assembly (SCA) meter ropes while the generator is energized and/or operational.

Inserting a Rope

  1. Insert the rope into the rope guide (A), as shown in the following figure.
