5.4.7 Cable test
These driving mechanisms allow the operation
of going from earthing switch closed to switch-
disconnector open, even when the cable
compartment cover is open. Thus, the switch-
disconnector cannot be changed to the closed
position until this cover has been put back.
The cable test can only be carried out in cgm.3
feeder functions which include driving mechanisms
B/BM with this characteristic. Please check with
Ormazabal.

from the disconnected position”
2. Leave the lever in the earthing switch access (yellow
area)
3. Open the lower cover to access the cable compartment
4. With the lever in the earthing switch access, follow
the steps in section “5.4.3 Opening operation from
