1.5.4 De-energize the switchgear
► Identify your test object and make sure that you are using the corresponding wiring diagram.
► Disable any charging mechanism (for example, the motor).
► Ensure that the control circuit of the circuit breaker is de-energized (for example, the spring is
discharged).
► Make sure that the circuit breaker cannot be tripped or closed remotely and locally (for example, use
manual controls or distance orders).
► If you have to make connections to the auxiliary circuit (for example, to the trip or close coils):
► Switch off or disconnect the test object from the station supply.
► Apply the five safety rules.
► Use terminal adapters to connect the test leads.
► Only if required for testing, turn the supply back on.
1.5.5 Measurement setup
► Only use test leads and tools which provide full protection against direct contact.
► Make sure that grounding is applied as described in 1.3 "Grounding" on page 10.
► Connect the test leads of communication cables first to the grounded device before unreeling.
► Keep the unreeled cables close to the ground.
► Always insert connectors completely and use the interlock mechanism.
► Press the Emergency Stop button on the CIBANO 500 front panel while connecting the test leads
to the test object.
► Always insert connectors completely and use the interlock mechanism.
► Do not insert objects (for example, screwdrivers) into any input/output socket.
