Using contact paste or grease
1. Clean all grease and old paste from the contact surfaces.
2. Rub down the surfaces using an abrasive cloth, e.g. Scotch Brite No. 7447.
3. Apply immediately:
- Contact paste on aluminium surfaces.
- Grease “SV”, ABB’s article number 1171 4016-610, on copper surfaces.
4. Fit together the joint with the paste or grease still applied.
5. Wipe off any excess paste or grease.
N.B. Position the bimetallic washers so that the aluminium sides face the
aluminium surfaces and the copper sides are turned towards the copper
surfaces or the silver-plated surfaces.
N.B. The contact paste may only be used on fixed joints. It must not be used
inside the breaking unit.
5.3 Tensioning the closing springs
The circuit-breaker is closed and the motor is started to charge the closing springs
(7). The drive sprocket (11) rotates anticlockwise and pulls up the chain section (15)
so that the spring yoke (19) is lifted and charges the closing springs. The chain
section (16) runs down, while the chain sections (17) and (18) do not move.
