Terminations Check for loose connections, untagged – wires, damaged wires and terminal corrosion. Flexible Cables Check for cracking or damage. – Droop Cables - Check during bridge operation to verify range of motion. Check for abrasion, cracking or damage. Submarine Cables Check for deterioration, cable – supports and cable terminations. Resistance test the insulation of the individual wires and record the values (every 5 years unless previous report indicates declining/low level). Component Rating: Electric Motors Component Finding/Comment Inspect for any damage, dirt, debris, discoloration or scorching, missing covers, lack of or excess grease. mounting bolts for looseness, inspect keys, bolts and pins for proper position. Check electrical connections. Record ammeter readings as the bridge is operated. Perform dielectric test to check insulation resistance values on all motors (every 5 years unless previous report indicates declining/low level). Limit Switches Component Rating: Component Finding/Comment Inspect for damage, corrosion or of dirt. Verify free movement of switch. Inspect striker plate for any damage. Observe during operation. Lighting and Utilities Component Rating: Component Finding/Comment Service Lighting and Receptacles Check for damaged – or inoperable lights and receptacles. Electrical Utilities Check heating and air-conditioning – equipment for damages or signs of developing problems. Sump Pumps Check condition of sump pumps and their – electrical connections and discharge pipes. Test operate pumps. Alternate/Backup Power Supply Function Component Rating: Component Finding/Comment Function Operate the bridge under alternate/backup – power supply system. Record the voltage during bridge operation (every 5 years). Transfer Switch Component Rating: Component Finding/Comment Inspect panel and wiring. Inspect for any damage, dirt, debris, damaged conductors, loose conductors, discoloration or scorching, missing covers, missing labels. Verify bridge operates when switched to alternate power sources. Verify automatic/manual transfer switch between power sources operates properly. Component Rating: Operational Testing by Full Opening and Closing Cycles Component Finding/Comment Operating Verify bridge can be fully operated – without any issues under all applicable modes Manual, –
