2.2 PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT


All the items of the equipment are shipped in cases or crates, which must be handled with
care in accordance with the standard symbols on the sides of the containers.

2.2.1 TYPES OF PACKAGES


Shipment packaging is designed to fully protect the shipping units against mechanical
damage and against weather during transportation, unloading and handling on site. It
ensures that the product is not damaged and that all quality features, that are guaranteed
and tested in all stages of production, remain unaltered.

2.2.1.1 Shipping cases


The shipping cases are strong, plywood-covered wooden crates, covered on the sides and
reinforced internally with wooden boards. Special-shape wood-pieces are fastened to the
bottom of the crates, and if needed to the sides too, in order to hold the content fast; if
needed the shaped pieces are lined with foam to damp shocks to the content.
If needed, the content is wrapped in plastic film or contained in special boxes placed on
the bottom of the crate.
In order to ensure adequate ventilation, the shipping cases are equipped with
weatherproof openings.

2.2.2 SHIPPING UNITS


The subdivision of each switchgear into shipping units is devised to speed up the
installation on site and simplify the handling of the shipping units.

2.3 RECEIPT AND STORAGE


2.3.1 RECEIPT
As soon as you receive the crates, inspect the content of each package and make sure
that nothing is damaged and that all the items written in the packing list are there.
Damaged items or discrepancies between content and packing list must be reported to

SECTION 5 - LIVE PART

CONTENTS OF THIS SECTION


This section contains information to know before starting any operation on the live parts.
It contains, for instance, the specifications of the live parts, the recommendations of the
manufacturer and the danger or caution warnings to conform to for a safe and correct
procedure.
This section contains important information on the installation of the equipment and lists
the operations to carry out in sequence and the methods to apply for correct installation.

READ CAREFULLY THE TEXT OF THIS SECTION BEFORE STARTING ANY


Important OPERATION ON THE SWITCHGEAR OR ON ANY OF ITS COMPONENTS.

5.1 GENERAL
These series of live parts have been designed for installation on disconnectors with rated
current up to 4000 A.
The main contacts are made of four blades (female contacts) and four cylinders (male
contacts) in copper and suitably shaped.
These components are fastened to the ends of the aluminum profiles that make up the
respective mobile arms; moreover, a spring suitably positioned at the end of the female
arm ensures an adequate contact pressure.
The contacts couple with a sliding movement and the system is therefore self-cleaning
and self-tightening; this ensures the best behavior in the case of stress due to short circuit
currents.
The dimensions of the profiles, contacts and all live parts depend on the rated current of

6.5. SPECIAL DEVICES


6.5.1 AUXILIARY CONTACTS
The earthing switches of the series STA can be equipped on request with a special device
that acts as an auxiliary arcing contact.

Fig. 6.8: Auxiliary contact (right or left side assembled)

6.5.1.1 Installation of the auxiliary contacts


The auxiliary mobile contact (called “whip”, pos. 6.33 of below Fig. 6.9) operates earlier
than the main contacts of the earthing switch breaking any arc, then keeps in contact
with the auxiliary fixed contact 6.40 until the main contacts of the earthing switch have
closed.
In opening, the auxiliary mobile contact 6.33 keeps in contact with the auxiliary fixed
contact 6.40 until the main contacts of the earthing switch separate; any arc is thus
interrupted through the whip 6.33 without affecting the contacts of the earthing switch.
Such device comprises basically two articulated components: an auxiliary mobile contact
(Fig. 6.9), integral with the mobile arm of the earthing switch, and an auxiliary fixed
contact (Fig. 6.10), fastened to the fixed contact of the earthing switch.
Install the unit of the auxiliary device on the mobile arm of the earthing switch fixing its
support 6.30 with the specific fastening plate 6.31 and the respective bolts 6.32. Keep the
dimension indicated in Fig. 6.0.
