1.4 Applied standards
WS switchgear units are
• metal-enclosed
• SF

insulated
• type-tested
• tested for internal arc faults
WS switchgear may only be opera-
ted under normal operating conditi-
ons according to the specifications
EN 60694 or the IEC Publication
60694.
Operation under conditions deviating
from these is only admissible upon
consultation with and approved by
the manufacturer.
