1.1 Introduction
We have improved the techniques of design, manufacture and testing of gas circuit breakers and
the analyzing and evaluating techniques since we supplied the gas circuit breaker first in Japan in
1965. We are making every effort to develop a series of gas circuit breakers that have higher
performance and reliability and are more compact and easier to maintain.
These new spring-operated three-phase enclosed type gas circuit breakers have been developed
based on various new techniques. Compared to conventional gas circuit breakers, they have
higher performance and reliability and are smaller, lighter and easier to maintain.
Our basic concept for the design of these new gas circuit breakers is shown below.
1. Reduction in size, weight and required operating force by applying an interrupter
(ComAuto) composed of a heat puffer and a mechanical puffer that can efficiently give
the required puffer chamber pressure with the aid of arc energy generated when current is
interrupted
2. Reduction in size and weight and improvement of reliability by applying a new spring
mechanism, BM-J4, that is about 60% of the size of conventional type spring mechanisms
and has improved latch engagement reliability
3. Utilization of the reliability of conventional techniques by making the best use of
conventional structures and systems proved to be effective
4. Application of maintenance-free and inspection-free components to further simplify the
maintenance work
As stated above, we have developed these new spring-operated three-phase enclosed type gas
circuit breakers applying the most advanced techniques as well as various techniques which we
have improved for many years to improve the performance and reliability, reduce the size and
simplify the maintenance. We present the gas circuit breakers to you with confidence.

1.3 Features
Mitsubishi spring-operated three-phase enclosed type gas circuit breaker ensures high
performance and reliability utilizing the features of J Series new high-performance interrupter
(ComAuto) and spring mechanism.
(1) Maintenance and inspection labor saving

Since the interrupter is sealed in SF6 gas and isolated from the external atmosphere, the parts
do not deteriorate for a long time. The parts in the spring mechanism need not be replaced.
Application of a cam-type auxiliary switch eliminates the need of applying grease to the
contacts. Thus, labor for maintenance and inspection can be saved.
(2) Compact and light

Application of a new compact and high-performance interrupter (ComAuto) and a compact
spring mechanism realizes the small and light circuit breaker.
(3) Excellent interrupting performance

The circuit breaker uses a nozzle made of a new material that is less damaged or worn upon
occurrence of interruption owing to short-circuiting and SF6 gas excelling in arc
extinguishing and insulating performance. Therefore, the circuit breaker shows excellent
interrupting performance even in unusual cases, such as short-range line fault and
interruption owing to power swing, as well as in cases of general short-circuiting. When
exciting current is interrupted, the interrupted current is low, therefore, the overvoltage is
extremely low. Charging current can be interrupted without restriking. Thus, the circuit
breaker has excellent performance.
(4) Excellent environmental resistance

Since the circuit breaker is in an earthing enclosure, its center of gravity is located low, and
it excels in earthquake resistance.
Since the interrupter is housed in the earthing enclosure, it is not affected by external factors,
such as fouling, and keeps high reliability.
The operating characteristics of the spring mechanism are hardly affected by changes in
temperature. Therefore, the circuit breaker can operate reliably even in hot and cold
districts.
(5) Low operating noise

Use of a small spring mechanism reduces the operating noise. Therefore, the circuit
breaker can be used at substations in urban areas and in the vicinity of residential districts.

2.6 Structure of spring mechanism

Figs. 5 and 6 show the structure of type BM-J4 spring mechanism.
Type BM-J4 spring mechanism consists of an opening mechanism, a closing mechanism and a
spring charging mechanism.
The opening mechanism is composed of the tripping electromagnet (d21: not illustrated) that
converts the electric opening command to the mechanical movement, tripping trigger (d1), 1st
latch (d2), pin A (d3), guide link (d4), 2nd latch (d8), lever (d10), links (d5)(d6), trip spring lever
(d9) and trip spring (d15). The spring charging mechanism is composed of the limit switch
(d23: not illustrated), closing spring (d14) controlled by the limit switch and motor (d24: not
illustrated) that charges the closing spring.
The trip spring (d15) is charged when the closing lever (d13) turns clockwise to close the circuit
and the trip spring lever (d9) turns clockwise. The closing spring (d14) is kept in the charged
state by engaging the closing latch (d12) with the pin D (d17). The trip spring (d15) is kept in
the charged state by engaging the first latch (d2) with the pin A (d3).

[Notes]
Reassemble the interrupter in reverse order to the order shown in Figs. 12 to 20. When
reassembling, follow the instructions stated below.
(1) Check for wear of each part against Table 7. If the degree of wear has reached the
replacement level, replace the part with a new one.
(2) If the part has not worn so significantly, treat it with fine sandpaper, and re-use it.
(3) When the external nozzle (b21) and internal nozzle (b22) have been disconnected, replace
them with new ones (it is forbidden to re-use them).
(4) Clean the contacts, and lubricate grease for contact to the contact areas.
(5) As each nozzle is tightened for reassembly, it becomes tighter. Further tighten it until it
suddenly becomes loose. After it becomes loose, do not apply the tightening torque to it.
When reassembling, handle it, taking care not to soil it.
(6) After inspecting the interrupter, sufficiently clean the inside of the enclosure.
4.3.3 Changing the absorbent

After the completion of inspection of the inside, change the absorbent (b4) in the main enclosure
(b1) (see Fig. 1). Change it just before evacuating the enclosure, taking care not to expose it to
the atmosphere for a long time. [Note: See GIS Instruction Manual]

1. Introduction
The disconnecting switch is installed in order to disconnect main circuits.

The disconnecting switch should be interlocked with the circuit breakers, other disconnect
switches, the earthing (grounding) switches and so on.
Earthing (grounding) switches are installed to various units in order to ground
conductors for the safety during inspection. The earthing (grounding) switch is to be
interlocked with the associated disconnect switches and the circuit breaker to prevent
making operation to live circuit.
The DS and ES (GS) of this GIS are combined type, therefore for the most applications
a DS and an ES (GS) are combined as one module. This combined type DS/ES (GS) is
equipped with one common rotary moving contact. The rotary moving contact has three
fixed positions, that is; [DS closed] – [DS open / ES (GS) open] (or Neutral) – [ES (GS)
closed]. The moving contact of each phase is connected by insulating rods and all
three-phase contacts are operated by one operating mechanism.
Independent type DS and ES (GS) are also used where necessary. In this case, DS or ES
(GS) has its own rotary moving contact having two fixed positions, [open] – [closed].
Basic construction is same as combined type.
Please refer to instructions of operating mechanism for details about operating

mechanism.
(3/10) HBN-E0982
2.1 Combined type disconnecting switch and earthing (grounding) switch (Type
GRD/GRED)
Figure 1 show structures of the combined type DS/ES (GS) (Type GRD/GRED).
The disconnecting switch (DS) and the earthing (grounding) switch (ES (GS)) are
equipped with one rotary type moving contact (C13).
Where the both DS and ES (GS) are required, a combined DS/ES (GS) module is
applied. In this case, DS and ES (GS) are combined into one module and equipped with
one rotary type moving contact (C13). This contact has three fixed positions, [DS closed]
– [DS open & ES (GS) open] (Neutral) –. Moving contacts (C13) rotate in the opposite
direction from [DS open & ES (GS) open] (Neutral) to [DS closed] or [ES (GS) closed].
The rotary blade type moving contact (C13) of each phase is connected by insulating rods
(C16) and all three-phase blades are operated by one operating mechanism (C17).
Operating mechanism (C17) is installed outside of enclosure (C11). Insulating rods
(C16) are connected to operating mechanism (C17) through gas-tight shaft (C18). The
insulating rods (C16) are driven by operating mechanism (C17) and rotate three moving
contacts (C13) simultaneously.
All the parts of conductors and contacts are designed for their outline to reduce
electrical field strength so that high reliable insulation is obtained. The simple in-line
arrangement of three-phase rotary shaft and gas-tight shaft makes it compact and reliable.
For testing or maintenance, such as measurement of main circuit resistance and

discharging of residual charge of main circuit etc., earthing (grounding) terminals (D20)
are furnished. Earthing (grounding) terminal (D20) of each phase is insulated and fixed by
an insulator. For such usage, earthing (grounding) terminals (D20) can be used by
removing shunt bar (D21).
2.2 Independent type disconnecting switch (Type GRD)
Figure 2 show structures of the independent type DS (Type GRD). This type DS is also
equipped with its own rotary type moving contact having two fixed position, [Closed] –
[Open] and having similar features as combined type DS/ES (GS). Construction is such
that the function and parts of ES (GS) are eliminated from combined type.
(4/10) HBN-E0982
2.3 Independent type disconnecting switch (Type GLD)
Figure 3 show structures of the independent type DS (Type GLD). This type DS is also
equipped with its own rotary type moving contact having two fixed position, [Closed] –
[Open] and having similar features as combined type DS/ES (GS). Construction is such
that the function and parts of ES (GS) are eliminated from combined type.
2.4 Independent type earthing (grounding) switch (Type GRE)
Figure 4 shows an example of independent type ES (GS).The ES (GS) is equipped with

moving contacts (D13). The moving contact (D13) of each phase is connected by
connecting rods (D16) and all three-phase blades are operated by one operating mechanism
(D17).
Operating mechanism (D17) is installed outside of frame (D11). Connecting rods
(D16) are connected to operating mechanism (D17) through gas-tight shaft (D18). The
connecting rods (D16) are driven by operating mechanism (D17).
In normal service condition, the electrical potential of moving contact of ES (GS)

(D13) is the same level as that of frame (D11) by shunt bar (D21), which connects moving
contacts (D13) and frame (D11).

discharging of residual charge of main circuit etc., earthing (grounding) terminals (D20)
are furnished. Earthing (grounding) terminal (D20) of each phase is insulated and fixed by
an insulator. For such usage, earthing (grounding) terminals (D20) can be used by
removing shunt bar (D21).

1. Outline
The type MDD motor drive operating mechanism is used for remote operation of the
disconnecting switch or earthing switch for GIS. The operation, handling and the
maintenance methods are described for your correct operation and long time use.
The outline drawing is indicated in Figure 1, the mechanical locking device in Figure 2 and
the principle drawing in Figures 2 and 3.
2.1 Structure (Refer to Figure 1 Outline drawing and Figure 2 Principle drawing.)
･The position indicator (17) is connected to an gas-tight shaft (20) and indicates the Closed
positions of DS (disconnecting switch), Open position of DS and Closed position of
ES(earthing switch) .
･The shutter (4) can be opened only when the electrical interlock conditions are satisfied.
･Only when the shutter (4) is open, the manual operating handle (1) can be inserted to the
manual axis (3).
･The stopper lever (7) is the device for preventing pulling out of the manual operating
handle (1) during the manual operation.
･The mechanical lock pin (2) is the device for electrically and mechanically locking the
drive shaft of the operating mechanism, and prevent its operation to secure safety during
inspection or maintenance of the other part or equipment of the GIS.
･The selection knob(30) is the device for preventing mal-operation of the DS/ES, and
provided only for DS/ES before the manual operation. It is the device for selecting the
equipment to be operated, DS or ES.
2.2 Motion of the operating mechanism (Refer to Figure 2.3 Principle drawing.)
･The torque produced by the motor(8) or manual operating handle (1) is transferred to the
bevel gear (9) and rotates the intermitted gear (driving side) (10).
･The intermittent gear (11) (driven side) rotates the axes of the rotary type disconnecting
switch (DS) and earthing switch(ES) by rotating the gas-tight shaft (20), and by this
motion the main body operates, i.e. contacts of DS or ES operate.
At the final position of the motion, the limit switches (12), (13) and (23) operate, and the
control circuit of the motor (8) breaks,
･After the motor circuit breaks, the motor (8) continues to rotate by the inertia. In this
period, the driving force does not transferred to the contact of the DS because the
convex side of the intermitted gear (driving side) (10) is engaged with the concave side of
the intermitted gear (driven side)(11). This means Opening and Closing lock scheme is
automatically formed.
2.3 Safety Device
①Shutter
If the interlock condition with other equipment is satisfied, the plunger of the
electromagnetic interlock device (5) that locks the shutter (4) rotation releases it , and
the shutter (4) can be fully open. This means only when the interlock condition with
other equipment is satisfied, the shutter opens, and manual operation can be possible.
Furthermore, it is so designed as electric operation cannot be possible during manual
(7/16) HBN-E0015
operation.
②Manual handle holding function
This function gives preventing manual operation handle from taking out during
operation.
The manual operation handle (1) is held by a stopper lever(7) , so that the handle is
prevented from taking out during operation. The handle can be taken out at the position
the operation is completed.
③Electrical and Mechanical locking device
This is equipped with lock pin (2) that mechanically locks the drive shaft of the
operating mechanism to secure safety during inspection.
Locking /releasing operation can be done by inserting the mechanical lock pin (2) and
extracting it through the hole of shutter (4). It is so designed that electric operation
cannot be conducted when it is locked.
④Selection knob(only for disconnecting switch/earthing switch)
This is the device for preventing mal-operation of the DS/ES. This is equipped with a
selection knob(30) that selects the equipment to be operated DS or ES before the
manual
operation. By rotating the selection knob(30), DS or ES become operable.

3. Operation
3.1 Electric Operation
①When operation signal of Closed (Open) is incoming, the motor(M) circuit makes,
and the motor (8) starts to rotate. The gas-tight shaft(20) of the motor drive
operating mechanism rotates as indicated in the operation sequence in Section 2.
At the final position of the motion, the limit switches (89a, la,57a) operate, and the
motor control circuit breaks, and the motor (8) stops.
② Contacts (Sa) are equipped to prevent electric operation during manual operation.
③ Opened a contact (Sb) is equipped to prevent electric operation when the operating
mechanism is mechanically locked by the lock pin(2).
3.2 Manual Operation

① Matters to be ensured before manual operation
a) Ensure the state of circuit, open or closed, and also ensure that the interlock
conditions are satisfied. (Current making/breaking cannot be done by the
manual operation.)
b) Ensure the lock pin (2) should extract on manual axis(3).
② Procedures for manual operation
a) Move the shutter (4) in the arrow direction, and open the shutter (4) to final
position after ensuring that the plunger of the electromagnetic interlocking
device (5) operates, and insert a manual operation handle (1) to the manual axis
(3) , and rotate it. For the rotating direction, refer to the instruction nameplate.
b) Ensure Closed/Open positions
Continue rotating handle until the position indicator (17) changes until the
manual operation handle (1) becomes lighter .
Stop rotating when the stopper lever(7) opens fully.
If continue rotating beyond the proper position, it becomes suddenly heavy.
Do not rotate excessively or it might cause damage.

1. Outline
Type MBF-02M motor charged spring drive operating mechanism is used for remote
operation of the earthing switch for GIS.
The operation, handling and the maintenance methods are described for your correct
operation and long time use.

The outline drawing is indicated in Figure 1, the mechanical locking device in Figure 2 and
the principle drawing in Figure 2.
2.1 Structure (Refer to Figure 1, Outline drawing, and Figure 2, Principle drawing)
･The position indicator (23) is connected to output shaft (17) and indicates the position of
FES, Closed or Open.
･The shutter (4) can be opened only when the electrical interlock conditions are satisfied.
･Only when the shutter (4) is open, the manual operating handle (1) can be inserted to the
manual axis (3).
･The mechanical lock pin (2) is the device for electrically and mechanical locking the drive
shaft of the operating mechanism, and prevent its operation to secure safety during
inspection or maintenance of the other part or equipment of the GIS.
2.2 Operation (Refer to Figure 2 Principle drawing.)
･Rotation produced by the motor(8) or manual operating handle (1) is transferred to the
worm gear (13). The rotation is reduced with worm gear(10) and worm wheel(11).
･The rotation charges spiral spring (15) through 1st coupling cams with worm wheel(11) and
with charging lever(12). The spring is charged up to its compressed dead point and released
the energy. Then, output shaft(17) is rotated quickly by the releasing energy through 2nd
coupling cams with charging lever(12) and discharging cam(16).The rotation of the main shaft
drives auxiliary switches(22) and position indicator(23).
･By this motion, the axis of fault making earthing switch (FES) move, and the moving contact
of FES operates, i.e. FES operates at this moment.
･When the rotation of the lever(18) is stoped by oil dumper(19) and (20),auxiliary switch(22)
operate and the control circuit of motor (8) breaks.
2.3 Safety Device

①Shutter
The shutter(4) opens only when the interlock condition with other equipment is satisfied,
and manual operation can be done. If the interlock condition with other equipment is
satisfied, the plunger of the electromagnetic interlock device (5) that locks the shutter(4)
rotation releases it, and the shutter(4) can be fully open. Furthermore, it is so designed as
electric operation cannot be possible during manual operation.
(7/14) HBN-E0002
②Electrical and Mechanical locking device
This is equipped with lock pin (2) that mechanically locks the drive shaft of the
operating mechanism to secure safety during inspection.
Locking /releasing operation can be done by inserting the mechanical lock pin (2) and
extracting it through the hole of shutter (4). It is so designed that electric operation
cannot be conducted when it is locked.

(2) A contact (Sa) is equipped to prevent electric operation during manual operation.
(3) A contact (Sb) is equipped to prevent electric operation when the operating
mechanism is mechanically locked by the lock pin(3).
(1) Matters to be ensured before manual operation
a) Ensure the state of circuit, open or closed, and also ensure that the interlock
conditions are satisfied.
b) Never operate FES when the operating condition is not satisfied (i.e. when
interlocked with other equipment).
c) Ensure the lock pin (2) should extract on manual axis(3).
(2) Procedures for manual operation
a) Move the shutter (4) in the arrow direction, and open the shutter (4) to final
position after ensuring that the plunger of the electromagnetic interlocking
device (5) operates, and insert a manual operating handle (1) to the manual
operation axis (3), and rotate it. For closed circuit operation, rotate clockwise
and for open circuit operation, rotate couterclockwise.
The number of handle rotation required for operation is approximately 11.
b) Ensure Closed/Open positions
Continue rotating handle until the rotation force of handle (1) becomes lighter
(i.e. spring is discharged), and also the position indicator (23) is changed.
(Sound of spring discharging is heard when the FES operates.)
If handle operation is continued, it becomes suddenly heavy. Do not rotate
excessively. Otherwise the mechanism might be damaged.
c) After ensuring the completion of operation, remove the manual operating handle

3) Design
The outer, basic design is according to the outline drawing.

For reference see the resp. outline drawing.
The transformer belongs to the group of:

Voltage transformer. The live parts are contained in the housing.
3.1) Live parts
The live parts are designed as inductive transformers with SF6-foil insulation. The
laminated cores are made of grain oriented steel sheet. They are situated in the housing.
The secondary outlets to the terminal box are led through the housing.

3.2) Design against ferroresonance (additional equipment)
Ferroresonance can occur in network (substation) by circuit breaker switching and if

there are no special precautions the resulting thermal or dielectric stress can affect or
even destroy the transformer. To prevent such a behaviour, an air gap in the magnetic
core is designed to create the transformer ferroresonance-free (main inductance
drastically reduced).
3.3) Encapsulation
The encapsulation consits of the housing, cover and high-voltage insulator so that the
whole transformer is hermetically sealed.
3.3.1) Housing and cover
The housing, cover and its components is a common steel construction, which is spray-
zinced galvanized and additionally covered with a spezial protective paint.
3.3.2) High-voltage insulator
The high-voltage insulator, which is made of cast resign, is dimensiond for insulation by
SF6-gas. It is bolted to the coupling flange of the housing and seals the transformer
housing.
3.4) Secondary terminal box
The ends of the secondary windings and the neutral ends of the high voltage windings are
led into the terminal box via multi-bushing. The multi-bushing is mechanically separated
from the terminal box. The terminals for the IID-control are also located in this terminal
box. Torque moment for cover screws 2Nm.
For reference see the resp. terminal box drawing.
3.4.1) Terminals
The secondary windings and the neutral ends of the high voltage windings are let to stud
bolt serial terminals. These terminals are useable for ring type lugs for cable cross up to
6 square mm. For reference see the resp. terminal box drawing.
Terminal type: see the resp. terminal box drawing.
Ground terminal type: see the resp. terminal box drawing.

3.4.2) Ventilation
The terminal box has a ventilation device at the side of the box.
3.4.3) Cable inlets
For connecting the secondary windings and the IID-control the terminal box has cable
glands. For the transport this glands are protected by special inlet covers.
For reference see the resp. terminal box drawing.
3.5) Grounding connection
For grounding two screw pairs (2 x M12, centre distance 60 mm) are arranged on the
transformer housing.
3.6) Rating plate
The rating plate is made of stainless steel and is fixed to the housing of the transformer.
For reference see the resp. outline drawing and drawing of rating plate.
3.6) Lifting lugs

The transformer should be transported with open IID.
4.1) Pressure during transport
The unit must be transported only with an overpressure of 20...50 kPa

(referring to 20°C).
4.2) Position during transport
The transformer should be transported only in vertical postion (cast resign insulator
pointing downward) with a special transport flange mounted to the cast resign insulator.
By these means the insulator as well as the gasketing and mechanical contact areas are
protected in any transportation situation.

5) Storage
5.1) Storage up to six month
The transformer must be storaged in a closed room in vertical position with transport
flange pointing downward and under transport overpressure 20...50 kPa (refering 20°C).
See also picture in chapter 4.2.
5.2) Storage more than six month
The transformer must be storaged in a closed room in vertical position with transport
flange pointing downward and under transport overpressure 20...50 kPa (refering 20°C).
See also picture in chapter 4.2.
The pressure has to be checked yearly. If increasing of pressure is necessary, use only
pure SF6-gas (degree of purity acc. to IEC-Publ. 376).

Before installation of a storaged transformer to the switchgear, the humidiy content must
be checked. The transformer is ready for service if the humidity content is in accordance
with chapter 9.2, item D.
6) Installation
The installation works should only be done by qualified personnel.

A suitable crane is needed for lifting the transformer to the switchgear.
6.1) Mounting to switchgear
• Remove transport flange
• Clean gasketing and electrical contact areas of the coupling flange
• Make high-voltage connections over the contact areas of the cast-resign insulator
(for details refer to the resp. outline drawing) and, if necessary, add material.
• Protect flange and gasket area by a thin layer of silicone grease
• Place transformer with its coupling flange continuously to the original gasketing
arrangement of the switchgear and fit it up.
• Draw vacuum in the switchgear
• Make gas connection between the transformer and the switchgear by mounting an
elbow pipe with DILO-coupling on the connection provided on the transformer
housing (refer to the resp. outline drawing). Before mounting the elbow pipe to the
DILO-couplings, the pipe has to be flushed with SF6-gas.
Fill transformer and switchgear with SF6-gas (degree of purity acc. to IEC-Publ. 376)
Attention! Take care to the pressure values indicated at the rating plate. The
max. pressure must by no means exceeded.
• Make grounding connection between transformer and switchgear.
6.2) Secondary connections
Make secondary connections in the transformer terminal box. Take care of the
informations at the diagrammatic nameplate.
The neutral ends of the high voltage windings must be grounded.
For reference see the resp.diagrammatic nameplate drawing.

7) Integrated Isolating Device
The transformer is equipped with an Integrated Isolating Device (IID), so the active parts
of the transformer can be isolated from the busbar of the switchgear.
ATTENTION!
Operation of IID-mechansim is only allowed:
• If transformer is in voltage-free condition
• By authorized personnel
By rotating the mechanism the IID can be switched. There is an optical on-off-indicator at
the side of the mechanism and for electrical on-off-indication auxilliary contacts are
placed in the secondary terminal box.
Refer also the respective outline drawing of the voltage transformer.
7.1) Operation manual for IID
• ON – switching position
On-switching postion means, the active parts are contacted to the high-voltage
parts of the transformer. The high-voltage connection is closed.
By turning the tube of the mechanism clockwise (approx. 20 turns) the internal
contact will be closed and the transformer is in operating condition. Turn until the
mechanical limit is reached. Otherwise the mechansim can be damaged.

• OFF – switching position
Off-switching postion means, the active parts are not contacted to the high-
voltage parts of the transformer. The high-voltage connection is opened.
By turning the tube of the mechanism counterclockwise (approx. 20 turns) the
internal contact will be opened and the transformer is out of operating
condition. Turn until the mechanical limit is reached. Otherwise the
mechansim can be damaged.
7.2) Electrical On-Off-Indicators
The connection diagram of the indicators can be seen on the diagrammatic nameplate.
For both switching positons ther are 2NO-contacts (contact 13-14 and 23-24) and 2NC-
contacts (contacts 11-12 and 21-22).
All contact-terminals with letter „c“ (closed) are for the ON-switching position. The active
parts of transformer are contacted to high-voltage.
All contact-terminals with letter „o“ (opened) are for the OFF-switching position. The
active parts of transformer are not contacted to high-voltage.
ATTENTION!
Operation of the transformer is only allowed, if the switching position is ON or
OFF.
Is the IID in any postion between the two endpostions (no electrical auxilliary
contact) and high-voltage is applied, the transformer will be damaged.

8) Spare parts
In case of queries, guarantee claims or when ordering spare parts, please quote type
destignation and serial number of the transformer as given on the rating plate.
In case (under exceptional circumstances) any replacement of components and

consequential vacuum treatment and gas-filling of the transformer become necessary,
special repair instructions shall be obtained from the manufacturer Trench Germany
GmbH.
9) Maintenance and condition diagnostics
Voltage transformer does not require any special actions (e.g. maintenance) except the
supervision of the insulating gas density.
9.1) Diagnostic programme
A = Visual checking of connections

B = Visiual checking of the terminal box
