1. General
1.1 Introduction
These operating instructions apply to the type and design of the disconnector listed on the
title page. They are intended to make the operating personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of the disconnector. They are also instructions for operation
and provide information about installation and maintenance.
We recommend that operating personnel become acquainted with the operating
instructions and other documentation that is supplied so that they are well informed
concerning the disconnector and any other operational features involved.
1.2 Safety Instructions
During operation, certain parts of the disconnector are live and hazardous as a high
voltage is present. Personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all warnings and procedures
for installation, operation, maintenance repair contained in these operating instructions.
The user of the disconnector must ensure that the maintenance and relevant operating
directives to the appropriate activity, local safety regulations and information on what to do
in the event of an accident are available or displayed, e.g. on a notice board so that they
can be referred to at any time.
1.3 Technical Data
The disconnector is a three disconnector for outdoor installation. It may be used for the
technical data specified on the name plate and in this operating instruction. Disconnectors
are used to produce a dielectrically strong and visible isolating distance in an outdoor
switchgear; for this purpose, they may be operated only when free of current and voltage
(off-Load).
The add-on earthing switch is a three pole auxiliary device to the disconnector for outdoor
installation. It may only be used for the technical data specified on the rating plate of the
disconnector and in this operating manual. Earthing switches establish a conductive
connection from line sections produced by opening the disconnector to the system ground,
for this they may only be operated in no-current and no-load status.

2. Description
2.1 General
The Horizontal center break disconnector is a disconnector in 2-post insulator which
breaks at the center to provide the required insulating distance. The corrosion-protected
outdoor disconnector consists of three individual poles either mechanically ganged through
mechanical linkages (or) electrically ganged through master and follower motor drive.
Disconnector operation is either motorized or by hand (Manual). The switching position
of the disconnector in motor or manual drive mode is indicated by an auxiliary switch
integrated in the drive housing.
The disconnectors are designed to withstand the horizontal and vertical service
loads specified in IEC 62271-102, table 3.
 The Disconnector comply with IEC 62271-102 latest edition.
 Technical changes are possible as and when design modifications
are made.
 No claims can be made on the basis of data, drawings or
descriptions even though every care has been taken in providing
inputs.
2.2 Design of the Disconnector
Each of the three disconnector pole has a separate operating mechanism or can be
mechanically ganged.
The control is located additionally in the operating mechanism box.
© Siemens -4-
Revision 4
The disconnector (page 10) consists of the sub-structures, the operating box, the support
insulators and the main circuit, the support insulator transmits the operating mechanism
movement from the substructure to the contacts of the main circuit. The main contact
consists of Male contact and Female contact which are placed opposite to each other. The
Male and Female contacts on both the sides carry a high voltage terminal.
The support insulators are made up of a multi shield insulator with metal flanges.
The operating mechanism movement of the disconnector is initially transmitted by the
operating box via the MS down pipe to the MS TOM which converts it into the movement
of the R/S Base on which the support insulator is mounted. The Support insulator
transmits the rotary movement to the contact.
The energy required for operating the disconnector is provided by the electro-motor in the
motor operating box.
3. Delivery and storage

7. Motor Operating Mechanism
The motor with the gear unit is located in operating mechanism cubicle
The movement of the motor-operated mechanism is transferred to the disconnector and the
auxiliary switch in the operating mechanism cabinet. The Down Pipe is attached to the
operating mechanism and transmits the rotary movement from the operating mechanism to
Rotation Stool Base.
The operating drive mechanism contains all the components necessary for operating,
monitoring and controlling the disconnector.
All the electrical connections should be as per the schematic diagram.
The anti-condensation heaters prevent condensation forming on the components in the

operating mechanism cubicle. Since condensation can generally take place at any ambient
temperature, the anti-condensation heaters (heating resistors) must be permanently in
operation.
Note: The operator is responsible for the fuse protection for the auxiliary circuits, unless other
Wise agreed with the manufacturer.
Manual operation of motor-operated operating box for disconnectors and earthing switches is
possible during commissioning and maintenance as well as in emergency operation, when the
control voltage fails or a defect occurs.
Before each manual operation, check the defined interlocking conditions with the switching
position.
7.1 Adjustment of Motor Operating Mechanism
Adjustment for Close Position

- With the help of operating handle manually move the Disconnector / Earthing
switch toward fully closed position.
- Using a M6 Allen key, loosen the grub screw on the Red color limit switch
actuator.
- Adjust the limit switch actuator such that it just actuates the close limit switch
(LS2) and tighten the grub screw until secure.
Adjustment for Open Position

- With the help of operating handle manually move the Disconnector / Earthing
switch toward fully Open position.
- Using a M6 Allen key, loosen the grub screw on the Green color limit switch
actuator.
- Adjust the limit switch actuator such that it just actuates the Open limit switch
(LS1) and tighten the grub screw until secure.
Now make the electrical connections as per the schematic and wiring diagram of
