1 Summary
Earthing switches of series EK6 are determined for indoor in-
stallation and conform to the requirements of IEC 62271-102.
They are fitted with snap-action operating mechanisms for
positive high-speed closing and sufficiently dimensioned to
conduct the rated short-circuit making current when closed
under load. The speed of the snap-action closing operation is
independent controls.
The earthing switches are supplied as kits with a pre-assem-
bled active part and corresponding earthing contacts supplied
loose. Correct installation of these parts in a switchgear panel
results in a functioning earthing switch.
Routine tests to IEC 62271-102 arc to be carried out at site
accordingly.

5 Maintenance
Closing of the switch several times under load conditions
(maximum loading two closing operations at 100 % of the
rated short-circuit making current) makes inspection and
possibly mainten ance necessary. The electrical and mecha-
nical functions of the switch must not be adversely affected,
and only slight contact welding is permissible. The pairs of
earthing blades and the earthing contacts should be replaced
if necessary.
Otherwise, it is advisable to carry out inspection and main-
tenance of the earthing switches at appropriate intervals
together with the switchboard, particularly in exceptional
operating conditions and/or under adverse environmental in-
fluences such as pollution and aggressive air:
• Check whether the operating mechanism functions
smoothly and easily.
• Carry out general visual examination for the condition of
mechanical fasteners, dirt, moisture and corrosion.
• Remove any dust deposits on insulating parts with a dry,
non-fraying cloth (do not use cleaning wool).
• Regrease the mechanically movable parts and con-
tacts (applying grease thinly) using Isoflex Topas NB
52 lubricant, ABB part number (ordering reference)
GCE0007249P0100.
• Take into account the details given in section 4 in as far as
these are relevant to the work.
