Power Up From All Sources Off

Cell Power Up Notation

The following procedure covers the power up of the 2V11 Bodyside Sub Cell when the cell has been completely powered down. This procedure provides full power up instruction for the cell and readies the cell for automatic mode of operation. The nature of the cell's "Power Up Procedure" will be conditioned by the manner in which the previous cycling was terminated. In actual operation, some steps may only need to be verified.

Make sure the Pre-Start Check Procedure has been performed!

Remove and clear any lockouts throughout the 2V11 Bodyside Sub Cell. Follow procedures outlined in the Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) Placards posted on the Power Distribution Panel.

Follow all plant guidelines and regulations for start-up safety. Follow all safety warning labels posted on the equipment. Refer to the Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) placard for energy source locations. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury or death, and/or equipment damage.

Allow only personnel with appropriate training and experience to operate or service the equipment. The use of untrained or inexperienced personnel to operate or service the equipment can result in injury, including death, to themselves and others, and/or damage to the equipment.
