Chapter 8 Energizing the Equipment

a. When power-factor correction capacitors are energized with the motor

windings and the start-up procedure requires that the respective motors
be jogged or inched, temporarily disconnect the power factor
correction capacitors.
For more information on power factor capacitors and MCC units, refer
to the Power Factor Correction Capacitors for Bulletin 2100 Motor
Control Center Starter Units Application Techniques, publication

.

b. Verify that any acceleration times are within application specifications.

Excessive starting currents and acceleration times may cause inverse time circuit
breakers, power fuses, overload relays, and other components to overheat and shut
down the equipment.
