Part Il, Page 30 INSTRUCTION MANUAL -Type HGF 1014 Rev 1 (12/03), 6.3.4 Contact Pre-Alignment: Contact pre-alignment is achieved via verification of a special tool that checks concentricity of the stationary arcing contact with the throat of the main Teflon nozzle. This tool is available for purchase through Alstom. At this point, the stationary arcing contact has not been installed into the stationary contact assembly. ‘a, The moving contact assembly is operated open-close 15 times by hand to preset the assembly. b. A depth gauge tool is inseried into the rear of he interrupter. The depth gauge is inserted in place of the stationary arcing contact, and mates on the mounting surface for the stationary arcing contact. c. The moving contact assembly is pushed towards the closed position until the main nozzle of the moving contact assembly touches the end of the depth gauge tool. d._ The depth gauge tool is removed from the rear of the interrupter. e. The alignment tool (concentricity tool) is now bolted to the mounting surface for the stationary arcing contact. £. Once installed, the tool is rotated 360° while observing a dial gauge on the concentricity tool. A sensor on the side of the tool travels around the inside throat of the main nozzle and checks the main nozzle for concentriciy relative to the stationary arcing contact. Ideally, with perfect conceniricily, the dial gauge would show no deflection. The total maximum deflection over 360° must not exceed 1.8 mm (for pre-alignment), ie., the maximum allowable deviation from center is 1.8 mm during pre-alignment. 9. IFadjustment is required, the moving contact assembly is pre-adjusted as follows: ‘+ Remove the M12 interrupter support bolls one at a time (support the moving contact assembly as necessary) Apply Loctite 242 to the interrupter suppor bolts and re-install the bolts until snug. + Use a prying devise to move the assembly, adjust the position of the moving contact assembly ‘5 permitted by the “play” in the bolt holes of the inferrupter support bolts. The moving contact assembly is always moved in a direction such that the “High” poini/number of the dial gauge is reduced. ‘© Once adjustments are completed, the M12 interrupter support bolts for the moving contact assembly are torqued to 61 fr-lbf. h. Repeat steps 1- 6 of this procedure to verify proper pre-alignment. Adjust until the required tolerance is met. i. Final adjustment for contact alignment is achieved by adjusting the position of the stationary contact assembly. The actions for final contact alignment are performed later in this procedure — after the bellcrank assembly is installed. 6.3.5 Installing the Bellcrank Assembly: ‘The bellcrank and linkage assembly is installed as a completed sub-assembly, as it was removed from the breaker (fig 19).

The moving contact assembly is operated open-close 20 times fo preset the assembly. b. The bellcrank lever arm is inserted onto the splines of the bellerank shaft by aligning the two holes in the shaft end with the long axis of the lever, i-e., the two holes in the end of the shaft should point towards the wrist pin hole of the lever arm. . Once the bellcrank lever is installed, the lever is rotated until it touches the stop in the OPEN position, A pin is inserted into the wrist pin hole of the lever. d. To set the moving contact assembly at the nominal position for final contact alignment, the following steps are performed: HGI4IM ‘ALSTOM USA INC. Part Ill, Page 32 INSTRUCTION MANUAL -Type HGF 1014 Rev 1 (12/03) + Using a depth gauge (W26), a reference measurement is taken from the interphase tube flange area of the bellcrank to the pin, which was inserted into the lever in step 3. ‘The lever is then rotated towards the CLOSED position of the interrupter until the distance between the interphase tube flange and pin changes by 99.2 mm for 40kA interrupters or 76.5 mm for 50/63kA interrupters. e. The alignment tool (concentriciy fool) is bolted fo the mounting surface for the stationary arcing contact. Once installed, the tool is rotated 360°, all the while observing a dial gauge on the concentrcity tool. A sensor on the side of the fool travels around the inside throat of the main nozzle and checks the main nozzle for concentricity relative to the stationary arcing contact. Ideally, with perfect concentricity, the dial gauge would show no deflection. The total maximum deflection over 360° must not exceed 1.2 mm (for final alignment), ie., the maximum allowable deviation from center is 1.2 mm during final alignment. g. If adjustment is required, the stationary contact assembly is'adjusted as follows: Remove the M12 interrupter support bolts one iat a time (support the stationary contact ‘assembly as necessary) + Apply Locite 242 to the interrupter support bolts and re-install the bolts until snug. + Use a prying device to move the assembly, adjust the position of the stationary contact assembly as permitted by the “play” in the bolt holes of the interrupter support bolts.

Galvanized hardware in outdoor environments is to be greased with low temperature grease with graphite ASEOL 0-365.2: Apply on threads and under washers. BOSTIK Never- Seez High Temp. Stainless can also be used on galvanized bol's instead of ASEOL 0-365.2. Any other threaded parts {other than hardware) in outdoor environments are to be greased with low temperature grease with graphite ASEOL 0-365.2. All hardware inside the SF; compartment and larger than M6 is to be greased with Vaseline All hardware smaller or equal to Mé requires no grease unless stated otherwise on the 7.2.2 Flanges (NOT Sealing Surfaces) All flanges between the outside of the breaker and the gasket or O-ring require a light layer of M111 silicone grease applied by hand to one surface. The grease shall prevent moisture from penetrating the gap between the flanges and therefore the exact amount is defined by the amount of grease squeezed from the gap when parts are assembled. For proper amounts see the pictures in the picture section below. After assembly, exira grease on outside of flanges shall be wiped off. Flange areas that are INSIDE the gasket or C-ring require NO grease. 7.2.3 EPDM Profile Gaskets and Sealing Surfaces Sealing surfaces with “fish profile” style EPDM gaskets DO NOT require grease on the sealing surface. DO NOT grease any partition inside the sealing surface fo prevent grease from being squeezed into the gas compariment. These gaskets do not require fo be greased, but greasing is permissible to help assembly. If grease is used: Apply a THIN layer of M111 silicone grease. Apply grease with clean hands or cloth, See pictures below. Sealing surfaces with all other gaskets: Apply a thin layer of M111 silicone grease fo the gasket. Do not grease the sealing surface. Some exceptions exist, where grease assists the assembly process. See pictures below.

Apply with hands or cloth. For assembly purposes, the hole or shaft for the O-ring may be greased with a thin layer of M111. 7.2.8 Linkage and Springs All linkage parts (all areas subject to friction), including pins, spacers, lever arms and trip springs running inside linkage tubes are to be greased with black low temperature grease with graphite ASEOL 0-365.2, generally a thin layer applied with a brush or by hand. Linkage tubes that carry trip springs have to be greased inside with ASEOL 0-365.2 (thin layer) Dash-pot pins and main linkage (all connections) require THICK layers of ASEOL 0-365.2. The external portions of the linkage tubes on HGF-type dead tank circuit breakers are fo be greased as follows (see also Appendix 1, page 4, detail X): + Hardware and spacers: black low-tempera'ure grease with graphite ASEOL 0-365.2, thin layer * - Grooves and contact with mech. housing: thick layers of silicone grease. 7.2.6 Interrupter The silver-plated blast cylinder and fixed contact arcing contact pin are to be greased with a very thin layer of white Turmotemp II lubricant for SF., to be applied with clean hands or lint free cloth. The silver-plated ends of the center conductors require a thin layer of contact grease (refer to table, section 7.0). HGI-IM ALSTOM USA INC. Part Il, Page 45 INSTRUCTION MANUAL -Type HGF 1014 Rev 1 (12/03) All other parts of the interrupter have been greased during manufacturing 7.2.7 Other Parts Other parts of the circuit breaker are not normally assembled and greased at USC. If necessary, refer to the greasing instruction Appendix 1 ALSTOM spring drive operating mechanisms cre maintenance-free. 8.0 Control System In the event of a failure of elegtrical commands or if these are delayed, proceed as follows (these items should also be completed prigr to attempting an cperation): © Check the po: n of the closing spring. * Measure the supply voltage. © Check the SF, gas density © Disconnect the control circuits. + Check the terminal connegtions if tight and correct. + Check the wiring against the diagrams. Corred, if necessary. © Check the trip coil by measuring the resistance across the coil, replace defective coils. Check the reason and eliminate any mechanical jamming. © Check, if necessary replace, the contacts in the defective circu + Ifthe SF, density monitor is defective, replace it. Note: The density monitor may read correctly but switches may be malfunctioning. «Tum the supply voltage on 9.0 SE, Gas System (For more comprehensive information about SF,, please refer to part IV.) ‘* Inthe event of an " SF, alarm" check and record the gas pressure and temperature and refill. Check the density monitor and, if necessary, replace it. + Should gas leakage be suspected, check all flange conne ns as well as all pipe and welded fittings with a leak detector, leak detection spray or soapsuds. + Inspect welded connections and repair if necessary, tighten leaking connections. In case of leaking flanges, disassembly of the respective breaker pole may be necessary. HGH-IM ALSTOM USA INC.
