7.11. Checking the degree of vacuum of
the interrupter
This test is not required for normal maintenance. Should
itbecomenecessaryforextraordinarymaintenance,carry
out the test on the interrupter without dismantling it from

Tocheckthevacuumairtightnessoftheinterrupter,prepare
the following VIDAR tester test values:
Contactor rated voltage DC test voltage
7.2 kV
16 kV
12 kV
22.5 kV
Thetestmustalwaysbecarriedoutwiththecontactoropen,
with the contacts at the nominal distance.
Procedure for testing the vacuum of the interrupter of the
contactor poles:
– turn off the power and make the working area safe according
to the safety regulations of the IEC/DIN VDE standards;
– open the contactor;
– ground a terminal of each contactor pole;
– connect the ground terminal of the VIDAR tester to the
structureofthecontactor(groundingpointofthecontactor);
– connect the high voltage terminal of the VIDAR tester to
the terminal not connected to ground of the contactor
pole(phaseL1)andcarryoutthetest.Repeatthetestfor
phases L2 and L3.
The tester connection cables can produce
an indication due to capacitive effect. In this
case, the cables must not be removed.
