installation and operation

recommendation
switchgear ageing
withstand in an MV
substation depends on 3
main factors:
The need for proper

implementation of connections:
the new cold slip---on and
retractable technologies offer ease
of installation, thereby promoting
withstand over time.
Their design enables operation in
polluted environments with harsh
atmospheres.
Ventilation control:
the grids must be sized according
to power loss in the substation.
These grids must only be placed
near the transformer, so as to
prevent air circulating on the MV
switchboard.
The influence of the relative

humidity factor:
installation of heating resistors is
essential in climates with high
relative humidity and large
temperature differences.
operation
We strongly recommend that you

carry out at regular intervals (at
least roughly every 2 years) a few
operating cycles on the
switching devices.
Outside normal operating
conditions (between -- 5C and
40C, absence of dust, corrosive
gas, etc.), we recommend that you
contact our Groupe Schneider
Electric service centre in order to
examine the measures to be taken
to ensure proper installation
operation.
Our service centre is at your

disposal at all times:
H To propose you if required
H suitable maintenance

maintenance instructions
preventive
maintenance, cleaning
instructions and
power---up
We strongly recommend that you

carry out at regular intervals (at
least roughly every 2 years) a few
operating cycles on the
switching devices.
If necessary: contact the

Schneider Electric group service
centre.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Never lubricate the disconnector

operating mechanism.
If necessary: contact the
Schneider Electric group service
centre. In normal operating
conditions (temperature between --5C and 40 C) no special
maintenance is required.
Never use solvents and alcohol.

We recommend that you inspect
each compartment (cable, fuse,
busbar)* at regular intervals
according to environmental
conditions.
If the insulating parts are dusty, that

you remove the dust using a dry
cloth.
example :
In harsher conditions
(aggressive atmosphere, dust,
temperature less than --- 5 C
or greater than 40 C) consult
the nearest Schneider Electric
service centre.
