The switchgear should be inspected at the following intervals:
DANGER
High voltage! Danger! Do always observe the Five Safety Rules:
➭ Isolate the switchgear.
➭ Secure against reclosing.
➭ Verify safe isolation from supply.
➭ Earth and short-circuit.

with the danger involved.
Visual check every 5 years
Status inspection every 10 years
Maintenance after 10000 operating cycles of the circuit-breaker,
see page 205, "Maintenance of the vacuum circuit-breaker operating mechanism"
These intervals are guidelines which have to be adjusted to the different operating conditions
(e.g. dusty environment, frequent condensation, etc.). The maintenance actions with the associated test and
