Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Application Guide: C30 and C60 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Application Information for Capstone Emergency Stop (E-Stop) The MicroTurbine system includes emergency stop functionality, but does not include an emergency stop switch. Design parameters must include emergency stop devices that are easily visible and accessible to the general public. These devices must be remotely mounted by the vehicle operator to ensure access in the event of an emergency. The MicroTurbine system incorporates an E-stop circuit on the User Control Board. It is a normally-closed circuit and can be connected to an external switch or button that will close the circuit. Activation of the E-Stop immediately shuts off fuel and electrical output. This will cause the compressor bypass valve to open, vent the compressed air out of the MicroTurbine, and the turbine will coast to a stop. After an emergency stop, the power to the MicroTurbine must be turned off for 30 seconds before a restart can be attempted. Emergency stops should NEVER be used for routine shutdowns. Emergency stops increase stress on the system components and will result in reduced service life of the MicroTurbine. Repeated use of the optional Emergency Stop switch will result in damage to the MicroTurbine. Use only in emergency situations. Equipment Access Internal access to the system should be by key or by special tool to preclude accidental contact with hot surfaces or electrically live components. In addition, finger guards must be designed to cover all exposed fans. The air intake filter pathways must prevent incidental human contact with hot surfaces or electrically live components by distance or labyrinth or both. Fuel Leak Detectors The designer of the MicroTurbine installation should consider fuel leak detection systems. These systems are recommended by, but not required or supplied by Capstone. Fire Suppression Detectors The designer of the MicroTurbine installation should consider fire suppression systems. These systems are recommended by, but not required or supplied by Capstone. Warning Labels High Voltage labels must be applied to the Digital Power Controller, and High Tempera- ture labels must be applied to the MicroTurbine. Additionally, labels must comply with the intent to prevent injury. Standard UL signage must be employed. 480009-001 Rev B (October 2004) Page 41 of 54 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
