1.2 Health and Safety

The information in this chapter of the equipment documentation is intended to ensure that
equipment is properly installed and handled in order to maintain it in a safe condition.

When electrical equipment is in operation, dangerous voltages will be present in certain parts of
the equipment. Failure to observe warning notices, incorrect use, or improper use may endanger
personnel and equipment and cause personal injury or physical damage.

Before working in the terminal strip area, the equipment must be isolated.

Proper and safe operation of the equipment depends on appropriate shipping and handling,
proper storage, installation and commissioning, and on careful operation, maintenance and
servicing. For this reason, only qualified personnel may work on or operate the equipment.

Qualified personnel are individuals who:

 Are familiar with the installation, commissioning, and operation of the equipment and of the
system to which it is being connected;

 Are able to safely perform switching operations in accordance with accepted safety
engineering practices and are authorized to energize and de-energize equipment and to
isolate, ground, and label it;

 Are trained in the care and use of safety apparatus in accordance with safety engineering
practices;

 Are trained in emergency procedures (first aid).

Preface

DANGER! means that death, severe personal injury and considerable equipment damage
will occur if safety precautions are disregarded.

WARNING! means that death, severe personal and considerable equipment damage
could occur if safety precautions are disregarded.

CAUTION! means that light personal injury or equipment damage may occur if safety
precautions are disregarded.

NOTICE! is particularly applies to damage to device and to resulting damage of the protected
equipment.

DANGER!

NEVER allow a open current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this
device while the primary system is live. Open CT circuit will produce a dangerously high
voltage that cause death.

WARNING!

ONLY qualified personnel should work on or in the vicinity of this device. This personnel
MUST be familiar with all safety regulations and service procedures described in this
manual. During operating of electrical device, certain part of the device is under high
voltage. Severe personal injury and significant device damage could result from
improper behavior.

WARNING!

Do NOT touch the exposed terminals of this device while the power supply is on. The
generated high voltage causes death, injury, and device damage.

WARNING!

Thirty seconds is NECESSARY for discharging the voltage. Hazardous voltage can be
present in the DC circuit just after switching off the DC power supply.

CAUTION!

 Earthing

Securely earthed the earthing terminal of the device.

 Operating environment

ONLY use the device within the range of ambient environment and in an
environment free of abnormal vibration.

the device.

 Printed circuit board

Do NOT attach or remove printed circuit board if the device is powered on.

 External circuit

Check the supply voltage used when connecting the device output contacts to
external circuits, in order to prevent overheating.

 Connection cable

Carefully handle connection cables without applying excessive force.

NOTICE!

3.3.2 Grounding Guidelines

NOTICE!

All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.

Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.

All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.

On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.

In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.

3.3.3 Cubicle Grounding

The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.

Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.

NOTICE!

If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts of it
forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission of

NR0609 DS/ES Simulator 3-3

Date: 2016-01-06
 3 Hardware and Installation

interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.

Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 3.3-2).

The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.

NOTICE!

For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.

The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a
grounding strip (braided copper).
