2.8 Technical data of electrical control and operating devices

The switchgear panels have been designed on principle so as to permit manual operation. The drive mechanisms of the individual switching devices can be equipped, depending on the specific customers model, with additional electrical control and operating devices. These are defined in the switchgear-specific circuit diagram (see switchgear documentation). Component fitting options: Motor drive for actuation of the earthing switch Blocking coil The blocking coil prevents manual actuation of the earthing switch. If the supply voltage has failed or is shut off, all blocking coils are in blocked position. Auxiliary switches Auxiliary switches are always actuated directly by the truck or by the switch shaft via an intermediate linkage. Their position always corresponds to that of the main contacts. The switching functions have been set in the factory according to the circuit diagram. Micro switches are used depending on the customized panel models.

5.3 Requirements regarding the switchgear room

Before installing the switchgear panels, make sure that the switchgear room is checked according to the switchgear documentation (Fig. 25). Observe the minimum distance between the switchgear and the wall of the building. The load-bearing capacity of the fastening areas must correspond to the weight of the switchgear (perform a stress analysis of the building). Check base frame (if used) for dimensions and positional tolerances. Check position of floor openings for high-voltage and low-voltage cables. Before the swichgear is positioned at its site of installation, check that the fastening points are level. Unevenness must not exceed 2 mm/meter and 6 mm difference in height over the entire switchgear width.

The connection of the rear cable connection compartment to the panel was designed symmetrically and, on principle, does not depend on whether cables or fully insulated busbars are routed from the top or from the bottom. In both versions, turning by 180 on site is possible, if required. The preassembled sheet metal housing of the rear cable connection compartment is screw-fastened to the panel on the construction site.

The current transformers in the cable connection compartment (Fig. 62, item 6) are located in the same position as they are in the standard panel. The conductor bars (5) are routed from the current transformer to the rear and coupled to the appropriate terminal contacts (4) for the high-voltage connection in the rear cable connection compartment. The front earth bus has an outgoing feeder to the rear into the rear cable connection compartment, where a separate earth bar for earth connectors is located. In the case of several adjoining rear cable connection compartments, these rear earth bars must be connected to one another.

Cleaning
Warning! Risk of injury: the drives must not be disassembled for service and maintenance work.
To ensure the specified insulating level, the insulating components must be clean. On principle, cleanliness deserves utmost attention. When deposited dirt is detected, the panels must be cleaned in an expert fashion. When cleaning, make sure that the lubrication in the drive mechanisms is not removed. If the drive mechanisms are no longer sufficiently lubricated, new lubrication must be applied.
Use a dry cleaning cloth to remove slight soiling:

Clean using a dry, lint-free cloth. Depending on the degree of soiling, replace cloth as often as necessary.
Use cleaning agents for severe soiling:

Cleaning agent, 1 l can (see Chapter 12.1, page 86). The use of other cleaning agents is not admissible. Wear protective gloves Use cleaning agent according to manufacturers instructions Soak the cloth thoroughly and wipe the insulating components. Keep duration of exposure as short as possible. Expose the cleaned surface to the air for at least two hours.
11.4 Avoiding condensation

To ensure the specified insulating level, the switchgear panels especially their insulating components must not be exposed to condensation.
Measures to take in case of condensation:

Should condensation be detected in or on the panels, clean the panels in accordance with Chapter 11.3, page 83). Installation or inspection of panel heating. It must provide a sufficient heating performance to prevent condensation on the panels. Condensation can also be prevented by ensuring suitable ventilation and heating of the station or by using de-humidification devices.
11.5
Corrosion protection
Drive mechanisms and covers have a long-term protection against corrosion. Any damage to the paint, scratches and other damage must be repaired immediately to avoid corrosion.
11.6 Replacement of components and panels

The drive mechanisms, current transformers and voltage transformers as well as the testing and monitoring systems can be replaced if necessary. Also, entire panels can be replaced. Should you have any queries regarding replacement of components or panels, please contact the manufacturers Service Center. The data on the nameplate are relevant for replacement of components or panels or in case of any queries (see also Chapter 2.7, page 16).
