KXG Contactor Replacement Procedure

This procedure is for all NGPDU Series system with KXG ABB A110 (P/N 5337228) contactor.

Prerequisites

The new ABB AF116 contactor provides more reliability for the NGPDU series and replaces GECL10 or ABB A1contactors. Refer to the NGPDU Series ABB AF116 Kxg Contactor Replacement Instruction 5505564-1EN for more information.

Procedure

  1. Remove the top and front covers from the NGPDU. Refer to the PDU Covers Remove/Install Procedure.
  2. Switch OFF the CB1 at the front side of the NGPDU.
  3. Remove the front plastic covers.

  4. To remove the old KXG contactor, cables and bracket, do the following:
    1. Disconnect wires from the KXG and KSS contactors. Make note of the cable label and location and, if necessary, create a new label to avoid miss-wiring when restoring.
