I. Introduction
This publication contains the information needed
to install medium voltage VD4-36kV cradle
retrofit solution solution and put them into
service.
The installation of cradle retrofit solutions
require modification in existing VHA 36
switchgear panel.
However, this apparatus allows further
technical - construction modifications (at the
customer’s request) to adapt to special
installations.
Consequently, the information given below may
sometimes not contain instructions concerning
special configurations. Apart from this manual, it
is therefore always necessary to consult the latest
technical documentation (electric circuit and
wiring diagrams, assembly and installation
drawings, any protection co-ordination studies,
etc.), especially regarding any variants requested
in relation to the standardized configurations.
Only use original spare parts for maintenance
operations. For further information, please also
see the technical catalogue of the circuit-breaker
and the spare parts
All the installation, putting into
service, running and maintenance
operations must be carried out by
skilled personnel with in-depth
knowledge of the apparatus.
II. Environmental protection
program
The VD4-36kV cradle retrofit solutions are
manufactured in accordance with the ISO 14000
standards (Guidelines for environmental
management).
The production processes are carried out in
compliance with the standards for environmental
protection in terms of reduction in energy
consumption as well as in raw materials and
production of waste materials.
All this is thanks to the environmental
management system of the medium voltage
apparatus manufacturing facility.
