The pressure relief devices could be damaged!
6.1 Commissioning
6.1.1 Preparatory wok
In preparation for commissioning, the following work must be carried out prior to connection with the
high voltage power supply:
• Check the general condition of the switchgear for any damage or defects;
• Visually inspect the switching devices, withdrawable parts, isolating contacts, insulating parts, etc.;
• Check connection of the main earthing bar to the installation earthing conductor (following the
appropriate safety regulations);
• Check the paintwork for damage and, where necessary, touch up as described in section 7.4;
• Remove all residues of materials, foreign bodies and tools from the switchgear;
• Clean the switchgear, rubbing down insulating parts with a soft, dry, clean, non-fraying cloth.
Remove any greasy or sticky dirt as described in section 7.3;
• Correctly remount all covers etc. removed during assembly and testing procedures;
• Transport caps 13.9 (figure 108) on vacuum circuit-breakers - if still fitted - must be removed;
• Pole tube lids 13.10 on vacuum circuit-breakers may be fitted in certain systems and on certain
circuit- breakers. Check that they are fitted correctly;
• Lifting eyebolts 13.13 on high current vacuum circuit-breakers must be removed if still fitted;
