The place where the installation will be carried out must be ready before the beginning of the
operations.
The necessary works for the routing of the power and control cables (drilling, channels, etc.)
must be completed.
Always refer to the layout drawings.
IMPORTANT!
Drill the floor holes for fixing only AFTER having positioned the cubicles!
F.1.2. Floor flatness and level

IMPORTANT!
To avoid improper functioning of doors, HSCB trolleys and associated shutters, the
cubicle assemblies must respect the following flatness and level tolerances!
ff Flatness
± 1 mm per section length of 1 meter.
ff Level
Maximum 1 mm per meter on the floor, without however never exceeding ± 3 mm over the total
length of the enclosures assembled side by side.

Preliminary information Installation recommendations
F.1.3. Floor insulating principle

DANGER!
The DC cubicles must be mounted insulated from the floor. The connection of the
equipment to the main earth has to be made only in one point, foreseen for that purpose,
at the output of the low impedance relay.
The solution adopted by Sécheron SA for the earthing of the cubicles is the use of a low
impedance protection relay. This solution implies that the cubicles must be mounted insulated
from the floor to ensure a correct operation of the protection relay.
Recommended insulation value: > 100 kΩ.
This value ensures an optimum insulation, sending a maximum of the fault current through the
protection relay, guaranteeing the correct operation of the protection in case of a fault (voltage
presence in the frame). This insulation can be insured by an insulating sheet of 1-2 mm thick.
Another solution is the use of an automatic levelling insulating cement.

IMPORTANT!
When fixing the cubicles on the floor, take care to avoid any contact between the frame
and any part considered as electrically earthed!
A kit for the fixing on the floor is foreseen in Sécheron’s scope of supply. This kit contains an
insulated washer to be necessarily used to avoid a fortuitous earthing of the cubicles.
Sécheron’s reference: SG806195R5.
Refer to the appropriate electric diagram to identify the earthing connections between all the
equipment.
*1: The cubicles type SECUB-2 are not equipped with earth bar, the connection is made within
the frame.

Service and maintenance Installation recommendations

H.2.2. Visual control
Carefully check for marks of burn or moisture which can lead to a serious defect.
H.2.3. Cleaning
Accumulation of dirt and dust on components acts as an insulating blanket preventing efficient
heat dissipation. Dust on circuit boards and wires can cause arcing and short-circuits, resulting
in damage to components or even cause equipment failure. Your equipment should be cleaned
to prevent it!
Dust can be removed using a dry rag, a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
To ensure the insulating power, it is necessary that the parts of insulating material are clean and
dry.
When cleaning, make sure that the lubrication of control mechanisms is maintained. If mechanisms
are not lubricated enough, lubrication must be renewed.
ff Slight soiling
Clean with a dry rag (non-fibrous), replace the rag quite often depending on the contamination.
ff Heavy soiling
Use of a cleaning product.
• Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when handling
cleaning products.
• The operator must wear gloves and eye protection.
• Moisten the cloth and wipe shortly the parts of insulating material.

H.2.5. Insulation resistance test
ff TEST PURPOSE
This test is aimed at verifying the quality of the isolation of cubicles compared to a ground as part
of equipment installed in the arrangements (a) and (b) of EN 50123-7 with monitoring by current
relay (earth fault) with low impedance.
ff PROCEDURE
DANGER!
First, make sure that equipment to be tested as well as the work area is safe, that
equipment is turned off and disconnected and that all safety measures have been taken!
a. Open all the mini circuit breakers of the auxiliary circuits of the equipment to be tested.
b. Disconnect the connection between the substation earth (2) and the earth of the equipment
(3) at the output of the low impedance relay (1).
c. Connect the insulation resistance meter (4) between the earth of the equipment (3) and the
substation earth (2), through the low impedance relay (1).
d. Apply the test voltage (at least during 60 seconds to allow the measured current to stabilize)
and check the value of the insulation resistance.
e. If the result is incorrect, look for the cause of the insulation problem, fix it and repeat the test.
It is better to connect the positive to the substation earth and the negative onto the cubicles, in
order to help prevent polarization of the earth.
