Insurance authorities as the case may be.
 Handling of large crates should be handled by crane carefully.
 All items should be stored on ramps/platforms, free from water logging.
 All items should be stored in upright position only.
 Insulators are to be stored separately to avoid breakages.
6.2 Erection/Installations
a. Structures
 Refer the site layout drawings and compare with equipment General Assembly Drawing.
 Identify the structures according to the General Assembly Drawing
 Structure assembly is lifted and fixed over the plinth (Without damaging the foundation
bolts)
 Assemble washer, spring washer and nuts in all foundation bolts.
 Check for level at the top of the structure in both directions by using spirit levels. If
required give shims below the base plate of structure and tighten the nuts.
 All other structures should be assembled in similar way.
b. Base Assembly
 Identify the Base Assembly from Equipment General Assembly drawing.
 Lift the base assembly by using proper ropes and place it over the relevant structure
 After keeping it over the base without removing the rope align it to the mounting hole of
base and top plate of structure and fix the bolts and nuts and remove the rope.
 Check for level of flanges in both direction by using spirit level.
 If necessary, add shims below the leg of the base and align it.
 Tighten all the Bolts.
 Repeat the installation process for other two poles also.
 Ensure the Centre line of same pole and centre line of other phases are aligned.
 After completing the installation keep all the base assemblies in open position.

PROJECT POULTRY WITH PRIMARY SUBSTATION IN WILAYAT HIMA GOVERNORATE

c. Insulators
 The top middle and bottom units of Insulators should be identified by using Insulator
Drawing.
 The bottom and middle units are assembled together by using proper bolts and nuts.
 Lift the Insulator stack by using proper hook and placed over the base assembly by
ensuring the top 4 holes position.
 Without removing the hook align the holes and fix all bolts.
 The level of top surface of insulator should be checked by spirit level/plumb and if
necessary, the shims should be inserted below the bottom flange of the insulator or/and
between two insulator unit flanges.
 Now rotate the shaft assembly & check for the rotation of insulator & its eccentricity.
 The same procedure is to be repeated for the other side of same pole also
 In the same way the top unit of insulator and middle unit are installed on both sides.

d. Contacts Assembly (Male and Female Assembly)

 Identify the Assembly as per General Assembly Drawing
 Keep the Insulator corona ring on top of the Insulator
 Lift the Male Assembly by using proper sized rope and place it over the insulator above
corona ring.
 Without removing the rope align the holes and fix the screws.
 Repeat the similar process for female assembly.
 Rotate the bearing shaft assembly and check for alignment of
 Contacts assembly for horizontal alignment. Shims should be inserted between the
mounting flange of Assembly and top of the insulator at relevant side. Similarly, for vertical
alignment
 necessary shims should be inserted between insulator flange and top of shaft assembly
flange.
 If the entry is not smooth, loosen the contacts Mounting screws and push the contacts
forward or backward to get free entry.
 After achieving the entry check for centre line of Male and Female in both directions.
 Now moving part should be rotated 2 to 3 times to ensure the proper alignment
 The Corona ring assembly should be identified for male and female unit and connected
properly to it.
 Moving part should be operated two to three times for checking the free movement and
also check that the contact corona ring are not fouling each other.

e. Connecting Disconnector
 Manually set mechanism and disconnector to be connected into fully OPEN position
(Arrow mark on top of mechanism cabinet indicates the 'open' and 'close' positions).

 If mechanical interlock keys are fitted, it will be necessary to obtain the relevant keys to
make mechanism operational.
 Align the fixing hole and bolt them together to achieve desired tightness.
 Ensure that the mounting channel on the drive and the structure are matching.
 Level the box by placing the spirit level on output shaft flange in two directions.
 Provide shim wherever required.
 Check for centre line and verticality between torque bearing flange and drive flange with a
plumb.
 Introduce Universal Coupling as called for in the General Arrangement Drawing.
 Measure exact height between torque bearing flange and top of universal flange.
 Cut the operating pipe with the specified clearance to facilitate smooth entry.
 Weld the Vernier flange properly keeping the flange perpendicular to the centreline of the
pipe. Level and bolt the same. The drive is now ready for operation. Mounting angles of
mechanism to structure are slotted to provide horizontal adjustment. Adjust the
mechanism so that the vertical drive tube rotates TRUE.
 Cabling (internal/external) be completed as per schematic drawing. Ensure that all
electrical interlocks are wired properly.
 Before energising the circuitry, interlock wiring and control wiring should be checked by
multi meter (as per schematic drawings).

f. Tandem Pipe Assembly

 Measure the distance between the lever of two adjacent poles ('R' & 'Y')
 Check and set the Tandem, pipe length on the floor itself
 Lift the Tandem pipe by using proper rope and fix one side first by using suitable anti
friction washers, brass washers and split pins.
 Fix other side in the same manner.
 Operate the operating mechanism and check for proper closing and opening of both poles.
If required do minor adjustments in Tandem Pipe by length by using adjusting screw. Then
finally lock the adjusting screws by check nut.
 Repeat this process for the other poles ('Y' & 'B').
g. Earth Switch Assembly
 Identify the Assembly to fix the fixed contact assembly through General Arrangement
Drawing
 Take the Earth fixed contact assembly and fix it with the Hamper Assembly by using proper
sized Bolts as per General Assembly Drawings. The above assembly can be carried out
before
 installing the Hamper Assembly over the insulator.
 Lift the Earth Blade Assembly by using rope and fix it with base assembly using the middle
set of mounting holes to hold the assembly in place.

 Attach counterbalance weights in pendulum arm at suitable hole and check the position of
Earth Switch which should be parallel to ground.
 Manually move earthing blade towards closing position .To adjust add shims at the back of
the mounting plate to tilt the earthing blade in required direction.
 Continue to move earthing blade towards closing and observe that the contact fingers
come into the fixed contact. A small adjustment to twist the contact fingers is possible by
shimming
 mounting plate.
 Continue to close earthing switch until contacts are fully engaged i.e. when the insulated
stop of the earthing blade comes to rest without straining against fixed contact.
 Tighten all fixing bolts and keep the earth switch in closed position.

6.3 Do’s, Don’ts and Special Precautions

 Before the isolator is put into operation, the motor is to be meggered and the contacts are
cleaned.
 The mechanism box always is to be kept free from moisture. Hence, space heaters are
provided in the mechanism box.
 Also, rubber beading should be kept in good condition.
 Cable glands should be properly fitted at the entry of the cables and extra holes are
plugged properly to avoid hazards.
 For transportation, individual base and bearing pole assemblies & the male and female
contact arms should be packed separately.
 The Insulators and drive boxes should also be packed separately.
 The bolts and nuts required for mounting the base to the structure and the Insulators to
the base are packed separately as loose items, while all the other hardware (bolts & nuts)
are fitted in their respective places. Care should be taken that these are removed only at
the time of mounting to respective assemblies.
 All the assembles should be stored well preferably in a covered area to avoid any
damage/pilferage during storage.
