D0496-04-EN 6/78
2. DESCRIPTION
2.1 GENERAL
The disconnectors AREVA of the series S3C (without earthing switches), S3CT (with
one earthing switch) and S3C2T (with two earthing switches) are of type with double
side-break with three insulators each pole and the central insulator is a rotary one.
The live part is made of a mobile part, the rotary arm, which holds on its two ends the
mobile male contacts, and of two fixed female contacts installed on the lateral fixed
insulators. The mobile part of the arm with the two mobile contacts is installed on the
central rotary insulator.
The fixed contacts are made of pairs of copper blades, each pressed by a stainless
steel spring, that ensure adequate and constant pressure on the contact-making
points.
The mobile contacts are made of copper plates fastened to the ends of the mobile
arms. The arms are made of very strong and highly conductive aluminum tubes.
With an 85° rotation of the central column, which holds the mobile arm, the contacts
close with a sliding movement. This contact-making is self-cleaning and self-
tightening and ensures, therefore, the best behavior in the case of stress due to
short-time current.
The number of the copper blades of the fixed contact, the size of the mobile contact
and of the tubes of the mobile arm depends on the electrical and mechanical features
of the equipment.
The copper contacts, both fixed and mobile ones, are silver-plated in the area where
current flows.
As far as the flow of current is concerned, there are only two gaps in the equipment:
in the disconnection contacts.
The line terminals are vertical pads located ad the ends of the two fixed female
contacts.
The lower support bases are in hot-galvanized steel, resistant to the heaviest stress
(stress on line terminals, stress due to short-time currents, etc.).
All components through which current flows have been standardized and
tested with short-circuit current.
The equipment is constructed in compliance with the following standards:
Italy CEI EN 62271-102;
US ANSI C37 from 30 to 37 NEMA SG 06;
UK BS EN 62271-102;
Europe IEC 62271-102.
The following text may refer to several types of equipment and, for better
understanding, the examination of the figures of this manual should be always
combined with the careful study of the installation drawing DIN-…, which concerns
your specific order.
D0496-04-EN 7/78
These instructions concern the disconnectors with rated voltage of 245 (252) kV.
3. PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT

All the items of the equipment are shipped in cases (crates), which must be handled
with care in accordance with the standard symbols on the sides of the containers.
3.1 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.
3.1.1 Shipping cases

The shipping cases are strong, plywood-covered wooden crates, connected 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 spongy plastic 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.
3.2 SYSTEMATIC SHIPPING UNITS

The parts that make up the disconnectors are divided in shipping units with the
intention to reduce as much as possible the time required for installation on site,
while at the same time keeping simple the handling of the shipping units.
4. RECEIPT AND STORAGE

4.1 RECEIPT
As soon as you receive the crates, inspect the content of each package and make
sure that there is no damage 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 AREVA immediately.
If after the inspection the cases should be relocated or stored for a long time, restore
them to the original conditions.
When handling or unloading the cases, take care not to damage the equipment.
D0496-04-EN 8/78
4.2 STORAGE
4.2.1 Short-time storage (less than three months)

Place the packages in a dry and sheltered location, or if in the open-air, make sure
the area is drained well.
In the case of open-air storage, the place should be dry and ventilated and the crates
should be raised at least 10 cm from the ground with wooden beams.
If the storage is expected to last no longer than three months, the anti-condensation
heaters contained in the drives need not be energized.
4.2.2 Long-time storage (longer than three months)

In this case:
• If the equipment is stored indoors, and the warehouse is dry, the drives shall be
inspected every six months to make sure that no oxidation occurs due to
moisture inside the drives;
• If the equipment is stored outdoors or in a moist (damp) warehouse, follow the
recommendations of paragraph 4.2.1 and also connect the anti-condensation
heaters of the drive to a power supply and keep them energized.
5. UNPACKING AND LIFTING

Unpack the materials with care in order to avoid loosing or damaging any item.
Handle the complete units. Porcelain insulators should be handled with special care.
Open the shipping cases on site just before installation, in a position where the
hoisting equipment may hook the materials with ease.
Sling the material as shown in figure A and use an apparatus adequate to lift the pole
in a balanced way.
D0496-04-EN 9/78
FIG. A: LIFTING THE UNITS OF THE DISCONNECTOR
D0496-04-EN 10/78
6. INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT

6.1 CONDITIONS AND PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
a) To install correctly the disconnectors, the connection dimensions of building
works and steel works must comply with the specific installation drawing DIN-…
of the disconnector you are going to install.
b) If needed, consult the specific instructions manuals of the drive [operating
mechanism].
c) Screws, bolts and nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench with the torque
values indicated in the Attachment "B".
d) Prepare and treat the permanent contact surfaces of live parts, through which
current will flow, (e.g. the contact surface between the terminal connection pad
or shaft and the clamp of the line conductor) as follows:
• Wipe off any trace of grease from the contact surfaces with
trichloroethylene or other non-abrasive solvent. If the surfaces are
oxidized, clean them up with a steel brush or fine emery paper;
• Cover immediately with antioxidant compound;
• Connect the surfaces as soon as possible.
e) Install the units in the following sequence:

• lower bases;
• insulators;
• fixed contacts;
• mobile arms;
• vertical drive shaft and drive of the disconnector;
• horizontal transmission rods of the disconnector.
If the earthing switches are to be installed too (disconnectors of types S3CT
and S3C2T), proceed with the following parts:
• horizontal transmission rods of the earthing switches;
• earthing switches;
• balancing springs of the earthing switches (only on driven poles);
• vertical drive shafts and drives of the earthing switches.
In order to protect them, the areas marked with (Fig. 10) are
Important lubricated with neutral Vaseline before shipping. Before carrying
out the installation, remove the Vaseline with a dry cloth, then
apply the grease indicated in figure 10 with a brush (the quantity
required for the first greasing is included in the supply).
D0496-04-EN 11/78
6.2 INSTALLATION OF THE S3C DISCONNECTOR
6.2.1 Fixed bases (Fig. 1, 5, 5A)

Lift, as shown in figure A, the fixed bases (5.1, 5.2 Fig. 5) and, after checking that
their positions are correct, in agreement with the specific installation drawing DIN-…,
lay them down onto the support structure, with the fastening holes aligned.
Fasten them temporarily.
Remove the lifting apparatus.
With the spirit level, check that all the bases, especially the rotary discs (5.7, 5.8 Fig.
5), which support the rotary insulators (1.2 Fig. 1), are horizontal in the two
perpendicular directions. If needed shim with the C-washers on the bolts, between
the support structure and the brackets of the bases, until the bases are adequately
level.
Before fastening them finally to the structure, check that:
• The bases are aligned between themselves and with the support structure;
• The bases are horizontal;
• During final fastening no deformation has taken place that might have altered
the adjustments already carried out. If needed repeat the operations above.
6.2.2 Installation of the insulators (Fig. 1, 2D, 5)

Lift the insulators as shown in figure A and fasten the fixed insulators (1.1 Fig. 1) to
the lateral supports (5.5 Fig. 5) of the fixed bases (5.1, 5.2 Fig. 5) with the screws,
including spring washers; then fasten the rotary insulators (1.2 Fig. 1) to the central
rotary discs (5.7, 5.8 Fig. 5), as shown in figure 2D.
With the spirit level, laid on the upper ring, check that the ring is level in the two
perpendicular directions as shown in figure 2D.
Check also that during the rotation the rotary insulator (1.2 Fig. 1) turns around its
axis without describing a cone (Fig. 2D). If needed insert the C-washers (Fig. 2D)
between the ring and the rotary disc, until the system reaches the required
conditions. When you have achieved the required conditions, tighten the fastening
bolts. Take into account that any C-washers should be inserted as shown in Figure
2D, so that slanted supporting surfaces are created for the bolts, in order to avoid
stress to the rings of the insulators.
Finally check that the distances between the centers of the insulators are as
indicated in the installation drawing DIN-…
6.2.3 Fixed contacts (Fig. 1,3)
See the layout drawing (Fig. 1) for the correct positions of the
Important
fixed contacts (3.0 Fig. 3).
D0496-04-EN 12/78
Fasten the fixed contacts (3.0 Fig. 3) to the external insulators with the screws (3.4
Fig. 3), including plain and spring washers, and - before tightening the bolts - make
sure that:
• The fixed contacts are aligned and perpendicular to the axes of the supports
(5.5 Fig. 5);
• The contact blades (3.2 Fig. 3) are horizontal. If needed insert the special C-
washers between the upper flanges of the external insulators (1.1 Fig. 1) and
the fixed contacts (3.0 Fig. 3).
6.2.4 Mobile live parts (Fig. 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D)

The figures 2, 2A, 2B and 2C show the live parts for rated
currents of 1250, 1600-2000, 2500 and 3150 A respectively. The
! Caution
installation procedure described hereafter can be applied to all
kinds of live parts.
Set the rotary discs (5.7, 5.8 Fig. 5) to the OPEN positions.
Fasten the live part (2.0 Fig. 2, 2A, 2B, 2C) to the central rotary insulator (1.2 Fig. 1)
with the screws, including spring washers.
Turn the base by hand, to check that - on each side of the arm - the mobile contacts
(2.3 Fig. 2, 2.12 Fig. 2A, 2.22 Fig. 2B and 2.32 Fig. 2C) are centered when they
couple with the respective fixed contacts (3.0 Fig. 3).
If the mobile contact is lower than the fixed contacts, insert the special C-washers
between the upper flange of the rotary insulator (1.2 Fig. 1) and the support of the
mobile arm (2.2 Fig. 2, 2.11 Fig. 2A, 2.21 Fig. 2B and 2.31 Fig. 2C). On the contrary,
when the fixed contacts are lower than the mobile contacts, the C-washers should be
inserted between the upper flanges of the lateral insulators (1.1 Fig. 1) and the fixed
contacts (3.0 Fig. 3).
Turn the mobile arm (2.1 Fig. 2, 2.10 Fig. 2A, 2.20 Fig. 2B and 2.30 Fig. 2C) to the
open position and check that its axis is at an angle of around 85° with the axis of the
base.
6.2.5 Vertical drive shaft and drive of the disconnector (Fig. 7, 7A)
Before carrying out the installation, check that the serial number
Important of the drive is the same as the serial number of the
disconnector.
Concerning the lifting of the drive, see the instruction

manual on the specific installation and maintenance
! Danger procedures for the device.
Lift the drive; take the back of the device toward the support structure and take care
that the holes (7.11 Fig. 7) on the drive match those on the structure. Fasten
temporarily two bolts diagonally; do not tighten them.
D0496-04-EN 13/78
With reference to Fig. 7A, measure the distance "L" between the center of the hole of
the pin (7.13 Fig. 7A), on the driving shaft of the lower base (5.1 Fig. 7A), and the
upper surface of the support (7.15 Fig. 7A) of the clamp of the drive; subtract 15 mm
from this distance. Such distance is called "La":
La=L-15 (with "L" and "La" in mm)
Measure the vertical drive shaft (7.3 Fig. 7) supplied with the disconnector and, if it is
longer than "La", cut it to the exact size and then deburr the edges and reinstate the
surface protection by cold galvanizing.
Make sure that the drive is in the OPEN position.
In order to ensure the best grip, before installing the drive shaft
of the switchgear, polish with abrasive paper the lower part of
Important the shaft for a length of about 150 mm.
Check also that the internal surface of the clamp is free from
any trace of grease or other impurities.
Remove the lower fastening bolt installed previously and, by pivoting on the other
bolt still installed, tilt the drive to permit the installation of the vertical drive shaft (7.3
Fig. 7).
Insert the top of the vertical drive shaft (7.3 Fig. 7) into the hub of the driving base
(5.1 Fig. 5) and lock it in the correct position with the lock pin and cotter pins (7.13
Fig. 7).
While keeping the drive at a slant, insert the bottom of the vertical drive shaft (7.3
Fig. 7) into the clamp (7.12 Fig. 7).
Bring back the drive to the correct position and fasten the others fastening bolts to
the support structure.
If needed, loosen the bolts that fasten the drive to the structure, raise or lower the
drive and then tighten the bolts again, in order to get - when the adjustment is
complete - the exact dimensions shown in the specific installation drawing DIN-….
Check also that the drive is horizontal in two perpendicular directions, if needed shim
the fastening devices.
Fasten temporarily the clamp (7.12 Fig. 7), but do not tighten the screws (7.10 Fig.
7).
Check that the drive shaft (7.3 Fig. 7) is vertical in the two perpendicular directions.
Now you can tighten the clamp (7.12 Fig. 7) with the screws (7.10 Fig. 7) to lock the
shaft (7.3 Fig. 7), with a torque of around 80 Nm. In order to assist in this operation,
apply some normal grease on the bolts.
6.2.6 Installation of the horizontal transmission rods of the disconnector (Fig. 5)

With reference to figure 5, measure the distance "X" between the bases: add 200
mm to this distance. This distance is indicated by "Xb":
Xb = X + 200 (with "X" and "Xb" in mm)
Measure the horizontal transmission rods (5.3 Fig. 5) supplied with the disconnector
and, if they are longer than "Xb", cut them to size, then deburr the edges and
reinstate the surface protection by cold galvanizing.
D0496-04-EN 14/78
Loosen the U-bolts (5.9 Fig. 5) already installed on the rotary discs (5.7, 5.8 Fig. 5).
Insert the rods (5.3 Fig. 5) into the loose clamps (5.9 Fig. 5), make sure that the ends
of the rods protrude for about 50 mm.
Tighten the clamps.
6.2.7 Arcing-contact device (IEC 62271-102 Att. B) (Fig. 3A)

In figure 3A, you can see a special device called "arcing-contact device" which is
supplied on request.
This device is already installed and adjusted in our workshop, so it does not require
additional assembly.
You should only check with a manual closing operation of the mobile arm that the
male and female arcing contacts (3.31, 3.22 Fig. 3A) get in touch earlier than the
male and female contacts of the disconnector.
6.3 INSTALLATION OF THE S3CT DISCONNECTOR
6.3.1 Fixed bases (Fig. 1A, 1B, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E)
Lift, as shown in figure A, the fixed bases (5.1, 5.2 Fig. 5B, 5D) and, after checking
that their positions are correct, in agreement with the specific installation drawing
DIN-…, lay them down onto the support structure, with the fastening holes aligned.
5B, 5D), which support the rotary insulators (1.2 Fig. 1A, 1B), are horizontal in the
two perpendicular directions. If needed shim with the C-washers on the bolts,
between the support structure and the brackets of the bases, until the bases are
adequately level.
• The bases are aligned between themselves and with the support structure;
• The bases are horizontal;
6.3.2 Installation of the insulators (Fig. 1A 1B, 2D, 5B, 5D)

Lift the insulators as shown in figure A and fasten the fixed insulators (1.1 Fig. 1A,

WARNING: before carrying out any of the following operations, make sure that:
a) The disconnector is in the OPEN position;
b) Both the incoming and outgoing high-voltage conductors are visibly connected
to the earth.
9.2.1 Mobile contacts of the disconnector (Fig. 2, 2A, 2B, 2C)

To replace the male mobile contact (2.3, 2.12, 2.22 and 2.32), proceed as follows:
• Remove the contacts (2.3, 2.12, 2.22 and 2.32) after unscrewing the screws
(2.4, 2.13, 2.23 and 2.33);
• Clean the contact surfaces of the new contacts and apply on them a layer of
antioxidant paste.
• Install the new contacts (2.3, 2.12, 2.22 and 2.32) with the reverse procedure.
9.2.2 Fixed contacts (Fig. 3)

To replace the female fixed contacts (3.8) proceed as follows:
With the disconnector in the OPEN position:
• Remove the fixed contacts (3.2 Fig. 3) after unscrewing the screws (3.3 Fig. 3)
that fasten them to the supports [ATTENTION: the pressure springs (3.5 Fig. 3)
are removed too].
• Clean the contact surfaces and those of the new contacts and apply on them a
layer of antioxidant paste;
• Install the new contact (3.2 Fig. 3) and the pressure springs (3.5 Fig. 3) and
fasten it with the screws (3.3 Fig. 3) removed previously.
9.2.3 Drive (operating mechanism) (Fig. 7)

If the drive needs to be replaced, proceed as follows:
• Set the disconnector to the OPEN position;
• Disconnect the flexible conductor from the vertical drive shaft and disconnect all
electric connections;
• Uncouple the vertical drive shaft;
• Sling the drive and lift it slightly to put the sling in tension;
• Remove the four bolts that fasten the cabinet to the support structure with their
spring washers and plain washers;
D0496-04-EN 38/78
• Pull out the drive horizontally and move it to the required place.
To install the new drive, proceed as indicated in Section 6.
9.2.4 Ball joints of the adjustable thrust linkages

Check that the ball joints move freely, that they are not slack, and that their surfaces
are not corroded.
Take into account that, in the case of replacement, any adjustment carried out in our
factory is lost.
Before replacing the ball joints, measure carefully the distance between the axes of
the two joints and, after the replacement, adjust the length of the linkages to reinstate
the original distance between the axes of the two joints.
10. LIST OF TOOLS

Common tools should be adequate for the installation and maintenance of these
disconnectors such as box wrenches, open-end wrenches, socket wrenches, torque
wrenches with torque up to 200 Nm, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, spirit level,
mason's rule, tape measure, etc. Therefore, no special tools are required.
To lift the units, a truck crane equipped with adequate ropes (slings) with eyes as
shown in figure A is required.
