Siemens SDV6 User Manual

Maintenance
Risk of insulation damage with use of
incorrect compounds.
May cause equipment dielectric failure.
Use only isopropyl alcohol to clean insulation.
Do not use any cleaning compounds
containing chlorinated hydrocarbons such as
trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene or carbon
tetrachloride. These compounds will damage
the material used in the barriers and other
insulation on the circuit breaker.
Functional tests
Refer to the installation checklist in the
installation checks and initial functional
tests section of this instruction manual.
Functional tests consist of performing at
least three manual spring charging checks
and three automatic spring charging
checks. After these tests are complete, and
the springs fully discharged, all fasteners
and connections are checked again for
tightness and condition before placing the
type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker back
in service.
Protective relays and instruments
The type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker
can be equipped with a protective relay
panel when required. A protective relay
package can be supplied on a hinged panel
mounted in the front of the low-voltage
compartment.
To ensure satisfactory operation of
protective relays and instruments do not
leave device covers off longer than
necessary.
When a cover has been broken, cover the
device temporarily and replace broken
cover as soon as possible.
Refer to the wiring and schematic
diagrams, and other instruction literature
shipped with the circuit breaker for
additional specific protective relay
requirements.
Equipment surfaces
Inspect the painted surfaces and touch up
scratches as necessary. ANSI-61 touchup
paint is available from Siemens. This paint
matches the unit and is thinned and ready
for use in one pint (473ml) spray cans.
Inspect interior of unit for entrance of
moisture and repair as necessary.
Inspect ventilation filters, clean or replace
as appropriate.
