RC-01 Thunderbolt — LSM Cabinet Service

Amusement & attractions

Launch track LSM cabinet service. Includes transfer track isolation and capacitor bank discharge. ASTM F770 maintenance.

This is a worked example, not a procedure you can adopt. It describes equipment that does not exist, with illustrative tag numbers. 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4) requires the employer to develop, document and utilise energy control procedures specific to their own machines, and (c)(6) requires the employer to inspect those procedures periodically. Neither duty can be delegated to a vendor or discharged by this document.
Other standards apply to this work.
  • NFPA 70E — arc flash. Working on an energised-capable LSM cabinet requires shock and arc-flash boundary assessment and appropriate PPE.
A lockout-only document is misleading for work that also falls under another standard.

Isolation points

#Tag (illustrative)TypeDispositionWhat it does and whyDwell
10RC-01-XFER-DRIVEDisconnectIsolate & lockTransfer track drive disconnect. Upstream block - isolate so no train can be moved into the work zone.
20RC-01-TRAIN-CHOCKBlockApply & verifyTrain chocks fitted at the station and any occupied block. GRAVITY - a train on grade will roll.
30RC-01-ANTIROLLBlockApply & verifyAnti-rollback dogs engaged on the lift. Prevents lift chain runback under load.
40RC-01-MAINDisconnectIsolate & lockRide main disconnect, 480V at the MCC. Feeds lift, brakes, control system and station.
50RC-01-LSM-PWRDisconnectIsolate & lockLSM launch drive disconnect. Feeds the linear synchronous motor cabinets along the launch track.
60RC-01-LSM-CAPBleedIsolate & lockLSM capacitor bank discharge point. STORED ELECTRICAL - banks hold lethal charge after the drive is isolated.
70RC-01-CDAValveIsolate & lockCompressed air supply at the ride header. Feeds brakes, restraints and transfer track.
80RC-01-CDA-BLEEDBleedIsolate & lockAir header bleed downstream of the supply valve. Confirm zero on the gauge.
90RC-01-BRAKE-AIRValveIsolate & lockBlock brake air supply. Brakes are SPRING-APPLIED and air-released - removing air sets the brakes.
100RC-01-HYD-RESTValveIsolate & lockRestraint hydraulic supply. Holds lap bar locking pressure; bleed before working on a restraint.
110RC-01-EVAC-LIGHTValveKEEP ENERGISEDEvacuation walkway and catwalk lighting. Must REMAIN ENERGISED while anyone is on the structure.
120RC-01-CTRL-PLCSwitchNot an isolation deviceRide control PLC and E-stop circuit. Control circuitry only - NOT an energy isolating device.

What your site must supply

  • Your own asset and isolation-point tag numbers. The tags shown are illustrative and refer to equipment that does not exist.
  • The actual location of every disconnect, valve and vent on your equipment.
  • Measured stored-energy magnitudes and the dwell time required to dissipate them.
  • Your verification method for each point, and who is authorised to perform it.
  • Any additional energy sources present on your equipment and absent here.

Authorship and validation

This example was authored by Setyr for domain validation. It is not derived from any customer's controlled documents. It illustrates the elements 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii) requires a procedure to contain — it does not certify compliance, which is a property of an employer's programme rather than of any document.
