2.3 Safe handling

Handling material

NOTICE As with all electrical equipment, this material should be handled with care, following the instructions listed here.

Proceed with caution and pay attention to personnel safety. Use all equipment necessary for correct handling of the material.

Required measures

● Ventilate the work site well

● Avoid breathing in any vapours or fumes

● Wear protective goggles, gloves or overalls

● Apply a protective cream to any unprotected areas of skin to avoid sensitization

● Do not eat, drink or smoke at the work site

● Wash your hands with soap and warm water after use

● In the event of unintentional spillage, mix the unmixed resin and hardening agents with absorbent inert material (e.g. sand) and keep it in a suitable sealable container prior to disposal

● Submit filled containers for resin and hardening agents either for incineration or storage, according to local regulations.

Application planning 2.4 Storage


2.4 Storage 1. The material storage area has to meet the following requirements:

– It must be stable, secure and not on a slope.

– It must be protected against damp, extreme temperatures and water penetration. The temperature for storing the busbar must not be lower than -5 °C, the cast resin mix and the demoulding agent must not be stored below +5 °C, or below +15 °C 24 hours before use.

– Effective protection against dust, water, welding sparks, direct sunlight and other factors that could damage the material supplied must be in place.

– For safety reasons, the area must not serve as a gangway, nor must it be used to assemble other equipment.

2. Take note of the specific storage and packaging information featured on the packaging (symbols, labels, etc.).

3. If possible, store the material in its transport packaging. As a rule, the elements are supplied on pallets measuring 0.8 m x 3 m with a maximum load-carrying capacity of 2,000 kg. In the case of pallets with straight elements, no more than 5 pallets must be stacked on top of each other. Smaller elements, casting moulds, accessories, etc. are packed on pallets measuring 0.8 m x 1.20 m with a maximum load-carrying capacity of 1,500 kg.

Application planning 2.4 Storage


4. If the transport packaging is removed, store the elements in their product packaging as follows:

– Straight lengths: In single systems a maximum of four and in double systems a maximum of two elements may be stacked edgewise on top of one another, and a maximum of 4 elements may be stacked flat on top of one another. Use wooden blocks (25 mm x 100 mm) to separate the individual layers.

Figure 2-1 Storing single systems upright and flat

Figure 2-2 Storing double systems upright and flat

– All other elements such as junction units, flanged ends, AS transformer feeder units and incoming cable connection units must not be stacked.

5. Special handling applies to flanged ends and transformer feeder units. You can find more detailed information in the chapters "Flanged ends" and "Transformer connections".

Application planning 2.5 Packaging


2.5 Packaging The busbar trunking system elements are supplied with protective packaging on their ends. These protect conductors, insulators and joint blocks against impact during transport and storage. The protective foil/packaging also protects the elements from dust and damp.

As a rule, the straight elements are supplied on pallets measuring: 0.8 m x 3 m with a maximum load-carrying capacity of 2,000 kg. In the case of pallets with straight elements, no more than 5 pallets must be stacked on top of each other. Smaller elements, casting moulds, accessories, etc. are packed on pallets measuring 0.8 m x 1.20 m with a maximum load-carrying capacity of 1,500 kg. The pallets are only provided with a frame and cover as extra protection if necessary.

No additional packaging is required for cross-country road transport (truck freight). When unloading, ensure the pallets and crates are well secured to protect the freight from external influences.

For transport by sea, all pallets and crates (export crates) are packed appropriately. The standard crate measurements are: 3150/1000/1000 mm. The floors of the crates are made of 30 mm thick spruce, the side panels of 12 mm thick plywood panels, and the top cover of akylux. The sides and top cover are protected with clupak paper. The max. load-carrying capacity of the crates is 2.5 tons.

All pallets and crates are heat-treated to 75 °C/165 °F for 48 hours and IPPC-stamped. A certificate is supplied.

For large projects, all pallets and frame pallets are loaded into marine containers. Six-meter marine containers with a max. load-carrying capacity of 20 tons are used. The bases of the pallets are screwed to the floor of the container. All pallets are additionally secured with two heavy-duty strap retainers.

For air transport, all busbar trunking system elements and accessories are packed on pallets with frames or in crates.

The epoxy resin and hardening agents are required for making the cast resin mix. These materials are regarded as hazardous for the purposes of air transport. For this reason, they are shipped with special packaging and labelling in accordance with IATA regulations. This must be specified when ordering.

NOTICE Be very careful when removing the strap retainers. The sharp edges on the strap retainers pose a significant risk of injury when they spring off.

Note

The protective material can be recycled. When disposing of it, refer to the applicable standards for waste disposal in the installation area.

Siemens Spares


Application planning 2.6 Handling


2.6 Handling All pallets can be transported using a forklift truck. To simplify loading and unloading, the pallets can be carried from all sides. All elements on the pallets are protected with wooden spacers and metal hoops.

For safe loading and unloading of marine containers, a minimum forklift hoisting power of 4.5 tons is required. To safely lift the pallets at the narrow side (0.8 m), the forklift must have a minimum fork length of 2 m.

Busbar trunking system elements can be moved using a forklift and/or suspended from slings.

Figure 2-3 Transporting with a forklift truck



Figure 2-4 Suspension from slings

Ensure that the elements do not get damaged when transporting them with a forklift.

Use fabric slings to suspend the busbar trunking system elements. As a rule, always attach slings to lift the elements.

The elements are supplied with special parts for securing the slings in place and for supporting their own weight. The suspended elements can be removed and placed in various positions, depending on their required application (see illustration).

NOTICE Never use abrasive or metal slings under any circumstances.

Never suspend the elements by only 1 or 2 conductors. as this could potentially damage them beyond repair.

Siemens Spares



Installation 33.1 Overview

Procedure for installing the busbar elements 1. Checking elements:

Inspect all elements on receipt and ensure that neither the conductors nor their insulation have been damaged during handling and/or storage.

2. Before assembling the run, each individual element must be checked to ensure that the insulation resistance of the conductors is ≥ 1 MΩ.

3. Correct installation sequence: Install the elements in accordance with the planned layout as indicated in the installation drawings supplied. For the purposes of installation and insulation measurement, the run must be divided into sub-sections with no more than 6 segments.

4. Connecting elements:

– Ensure that the spacing between adjoining elements (30 mm ± 5 mm) is correct.

– Check that the insulation of the busbar, conductor and monobloc plate is clean and dry; clean the contact point of the conductors and the conductor ends with a cleaning pad. If necessary, remove the dust and dry the parts with an air dryer.

– Check that the insulation resistance of the conductors is ≥ 1 MΩ. No other equipment (transformers, tap-off units, end feed units, etc.) must be connected at this time. See chapter "Commissioning" (Page 53).

– Place the joint block between the elements and establish the electrical and mechanical connection between the conductors. Tighten the nut to 40 or 84 Nm.

5. Closing the junctions:

– Apply the neoprene seals to both sides of the mould (tongue and groove).

– Brush the demoulding agent onto the inside of the casting mould and the seals, and allow the demoulding agent to dry.

– Place the casting mould on the mechanical connection (joint block) and secure it with the 2 C-profiles.

– Prepare as many casting moulds as possible for casting. Note: The casting mould must overlap the insulation of the two busbar element ends by at least 2 cm.

6. Mixing the cast resin mix:

– Handling and safety precautions:

⇒Good ventilation of the work site

⇒Avoid breathing in vapours and fumes

⇒Wear protective goggles, gloves or overalls

⇒Apply a protective cream to any unprotected areas of skin to avoid sensitization

⇒Do not eat, drink or smoke at the work site

⇒Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water after use

⇒In the event of unintentional spillage, mix the unmixed resin and hardening hardening agent with absorbent inert material (e.g. sand) and keep it in a suitable sealable container prior to disposal

⇒Filled containers for resin and hardening agent must be submitted either for incineration or

⇒storage, according to local regulations.

– Check that the resin is clear and liquid. Do not use the resin if it is milky or crystallized.

– Check the best-before date on the label. If it is out of date, contact the company. Never exceed the permissible best-before date.

– Check that the filler material/sand is dry.

– The resin for casting the connection is mixed in a tub. The necessary number of casting units for a project is taken into account on delivery. A reserve of approx. 5% is always calculated. To avoid unnecessary waste (residue), several connections must always be prepared simultaneously.

– Open the tub and remove the cans with the resin and hardening agent. Practical note: The solids become compressed by shaking during transport and the cans are then difficult to remove. Before opening the tub, roll it a little on the floor to loosen the solids; the cans are then easy to remove.

– Fill the resin (comp. A) and hardening agent (comp. B) into the empty tubs supplied and mix using a mixer (750 or 900 W, 220 V, 50 Hz) for 1 minute.

– Pour the filler material in three phases into the mixture of resin and hardening agent, and mix each time until the cast resin mix becomes homogenous. The entire mixing time must be a total of approx. 3 minutes, approx. 1 minute per phase.

Storing the cast resin mix: Dry, not in direct sunlight, not under 5 °C and not over 40 °C. 24 hrs before use not under 15 °C.

7. Casting

– Avoid drafts and temperatures below +5 °C.

– Pour the cast resin mix slowly without hesitation or stopping up to the upper edge of the ready installed casting mould. Tap the cast resin mix gently with a rubber hammer to allow the bubbles to escape. Do not overfill; then smooth the surface with a putty knife.

– Allow the cast resin mix to harden. The hardening time is usually 5 to 14 hours; after hardening, the reusable casting mould is released. At an ambient temperature of 25 °C, carefully remove the casting mould after 5 hours (at 15 °C after 7 hours; at 10 °C after 10 hours, and at 5 °C after 14 hours). Thoroughly clean the casting mould after use.

– Use the supplied grinding stone to deburr the edges and remove any uneven spots. Like the overall system, the joint meets the protection requirements in accordance with IP68 (see also "Connecting elements (Page 38)").

– Clean all tools after use with solvent and allow them to dry thoroughly. Suitable solvents are methylene chloride (CH2CL2) or trichloroethane, solventane or acetone (acetone only if no other solvent is available; caution! danger of fire).

To simplify handling, on runs between feeder units the last element to be inserted should be a straight trunking unit.

NOTICE Protection and safety • Protect all elements from adverse ambient conditions and other potentially damaging

agents until installation has been completed. • Always pay attention to the safety of personnel and ensure that material does not get

damaged.

Note Deviating from the recommendations

These installation recommendations specify the general assembly sequence for the various busbar trunking system elements. As local conditions on the building site or within a project can vary, deviations from these recommendations are possible. In such cases, please get in touch with your SIEMENS contact.

The fixing bracket should be attached to the wall using plugs appropriate to the weight to be supported and the fixing material used.

Installation 3.3 Attaching fixing material


3.3 Attaching fixing material The LR busbar trunking system is generally attached to the structural elements of the building using the supporting structures provided on site (e.g. wall beams or stands for intermediate levels) and the system-specific fixing brackets, threaded rods, and C-profiles.

3.3.1 Overview

Types of fixing material ● Fixing material not available in the catalogue (e.g. plugs, beams, suspension struts, etc.)

must be provided by installation experts.

● Bracket for horizontal installations (ceiling/wall/floor brackets, fixed points)

● Brackets for vertical installations (wall and ceiling brackets, fixed points, sliding fixing without spring elements, and load-bearing fixing with spring elements)

Attaching fixing material

In all cases, proceed as follows:

1. Attach the fixing brackets to the building via the supporting structure.

2. Raise the LR system and suspend it on the brackets without securing it.

3. The ideal distance for fixings is 1.5 m in straight busbar runs, or 2 m for 2 fixings in the case of straight lengths.

4. All fixing points are indicated in the installation drawing. The type of fixing varies for the different installation methods and can be seen from the detailed drawings. Fixed points must be used in the case of expansions.

5. Secure the element.

Attaching the ceiling bracket Before attaching the bracket, make sure you are aware of exactly what type of bracket is being used and exactly where it needs to be positioned.

● Take the following specifications into account:

– An element must never be left unsupported. For easier levelling, always use two supports for each element wherever possible.

– A bracket must never coincide with a joint block. Always maintain a distance of at least 250 mm between the centre of the joint block and the bracket.

– To meet the specific static circumstances when using fixed point brackets, we recommend using supporting structures with transverse stays. Siemens does not supply supporting structures. Please contact the special suppliers of such materials.

Figure 3-4 Bracket for LR element mounted edgewise

Figure 3-5 Bracket for LR element mounted flat



Figure 3-6 Using transverse stays for fixed points

● Never support an element at any point other than a fixing bracket. The maximum distance between horizontal fixing brackets will depend on their design (load capacity...); in theory, 1.5 m is considered a suitable distance. Greater distance between fixing brackets only on request.

● In designing supports, consider the following:

– Sufficient carrying capacity of fixing brackets in terms of supporting at least the weight of the busbar trunking system plus 90 kg, in accordance with IEC/EN 60439-2.

– Fixing points on the structure and suitable accessories (plugs, etc.).

– Feasibility of fixed points (should be given particular consideration as regards horizontal run layouts)

● Please take the particular requirements of vertical trunking, i.e. manoeuvrability, suspension of elements, execution, etc., into consideration.

Attaching the wall bracket The same maximum permissible values apply to wall brackets as to ceiling brackets.

You must also insert additional transverse stays when implementing fixed points.

A wall bracket consists of a wall beam and a set of terminal clamps (in accordance with the LR range). The customer must provide the wall beams.

Installation 3.4 Connecting units


3.4 Connecting units

3.4.1 Preparing the elements for connection

Connecting units

NOTICE Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and free of impurities.

Ensure that the joint block is centred exactly between the two elements to be joined.

Plan the installation of the connections in advance to avoid subsequent problems.

Never knock or hit the joint block when inserting it. Instead, insert it carefully, otherwise the elements may get damaged. A rubber hammer can be used as a gentle aid.

Before casting, check the insulation resistance (insulation tester with 1000 V)

Preparing the elements for connection

The distance between the conductor ends of 2 busbar elements (junction) is fixed at 30 mm when designing. To compensate for smaller construction tolerances, this distance can be reduced to 25 mm or extended to 35 mm. The busbar elements to be connected are aligned and levelled accordingly.

Figure 3-16 Aligning busbar elements on the fixings

If the busbar elements have already been stored for an extended period at the construction site, and/or if the primary packaging of the ends has been damaged, or the conductor ends have become contaminated, wet or corroded, the conductor ends must be cleaned and dried before inserting the joint block. Use the supplied polishing fleece for this purpose. Use an industrial drier to dry the conductor ends. The insulation resistance of the elements must be checked. See extra instructions.



Figure 3-17 Cleaning the conductor ends with a polishing fleece

Siemens Spares




3.4.2 Establishing the electrical connection

Establishing the electrical connection To establish the electrical connection, the supplied single-bolt joint block is inserted between the copper or aluminium conductors from above or from below, and aligned in such a way that it overlaps equally on all sides.

Slide the joint block from above or from below between the aluminium or copper conductors to achieve a good and secure connection. The tolerances between the joint block and the individual conductors are kept extremely low with the result that the joint block is sometimes more difficult to insert manually. In this case, a plastic hammer can be of help. When the joint block has been aligned, the connecting bolt is tightened to 40 Nm using a torque wrench LRA/C 01-03 (size 17 mm), or to 84 Nm using a torque wrench LRA/C 04-29 (size 19 mm) . If desired, a special connecting bolt can be supplied that shears off on reaching 40 Nm or 84 Nm.

Tighten the connecting bolt on the joint block to 40 Nm using a 17 mm torque wrench, or to 84 Nm using a 19 mm torque wrench.



● Apply the neoprene seals to both sides of the mould (tongue and groove).

● Brush the demoulding agent onto the inside of the casting moulds and the seals and

allow the demoulding agent to dry.

● Place the mould on the mechanical connection (joint block) and secure it with the 2 C-

profiles.

Siemens Spares




● The casting mould must overlap the insulation of the two busbar element ends by at least

2 cm. Prepare as many casting moulds as possible for casting.



Open the tub and remove the cans with the resin and hardening agent.

Note

The solids become compressed by shaking during transport and the cans are then difficult to remove. Before opening the tub, roll it a little on the floor to loosen the solids; the cans are then easy to remove.

Figure 3-18 Solids, resin, and hardening agent

● Fill the resin (comp. A) and the hardening agent (comp. B) into the empty tubs supplied and pre-mix (using a suitable mixer: 750 or 900 W, 230 V, 50 Hz) for approximately 1 minute.

● Pour the filler material in three phases into the mixture of resin and hardening agent, and mix each time until the cast resin mix becomes homogenous. The entire mixing time must be a total of approx. 3 minutes (approx. 1 minute per phase).

Figure 3-19 Mix the solids with resin and hardening agent

Siemens Spares




● Avoid drafts and ambient temperatures below 5 °C.

● Pour the cast resin mix slowly and without hesitation up to the upper edge of the ready installed casting mould. Tap the cast resin mix gently with a rubber hammer to allow the bubbles caused when pouring to escape. Do not overfill the casting mould, and smooth the surface with a putty knife.

● Allow the cast resin mix to harden. The hardening time is usually around 5 to 14 hours. Release the re-usable casting mould after hardening. At an ambient temperature of 25 °C, carefully remove the casting mould after 5 hours (at 15 °C after 7 hours; at 10 °C after 10 hours; at 5 °C after 14 hours). Thoroughly clean the casting mould after every use.

● Use the grinding stone supplied to deburr the edges and remove any uneven spots on the casting. Like the overall system, the joint meets the protection requirements in accordance with IP68.

● Clean all tools immediately after use and allow them to dry thoroughly. Suitable solvents are methylene chloride (CH2CL2), trichlorethane or acetone (only if no solvent is available; you must take account of any fire hazard).

Figure 3-20 Applying the cast resin mix

Checking the electrical connection

● Check each individual element before assembling the run (insulation test)

● Connect a sub-run section-by-section with monobloc, and test the insulation and check the phase sequence (rotating field) when installing a phase change element (at the latest after every 6th element). Then cast this section.

● After the sub-section has hardened, carry out insulation tests and check the phase sequence (rotating field) again for each element.

● Carry out these steps for each sub-section.

Installation 3.5 Expansion unit


3.5 Expansion unit

Mounting the expansion unit ● Prior to mounting ensure that the expander is blocked by the screws marked in red

(delivery condition).

Figure 3-21 Expansion unit

● Fit the expansion unit in the same way as any other busbar trunking system element in the position indicated in the installation drawings, following the assembly instructions given in "Connecting elements".

● Place the expansion unit on two beams.

● Without releasing the expansion unit, install the following busbar trunking system element and attach it to the corresponding flanges.

● Releasing: Remove the screws from the expansion element to enable it to move freely.

CAUTION

Never install fixing brackets in the expansion area.

Do not attach expansion elements to the fixing bracket, as this will result in the temperature-dependent expansion of the run not being fully compensated.

Attach one fixing bracket in front of the expansion area and one behind to ensure that the element works correctly. Two support points are provided for each expansion unit.

Do not remove the screws without having first installed the two elements adjoining the expansion unit in their final positions.

Siemens Spares


Installation 3.6 Terminal elements


3.6 Terminal elements The following elements are grouped under the term "terminal elements":

● Vertical terminal elements

● Horizontal terminal elements and

● Incoming cable connection unit elements

Transformer connection unit The transformer connection unit connects the busbar trunking system to external transformers, both mechanically and electrically. The mechanical connection is possible with encapsulated transformers on the transformer enclosure via the assembly flange.

However, you can also connect the transformer connection unit to other external power sources, such as distribution cabinets for low-voltage main distribution systems.

3.6.1 Storage prior to installation Take note of the following when storing the terminal elements:

1. Store the transformer connection unit in its original packaging, and use site transportation equipment (pallet, fixing devices).

2. Do not subject the terminal element to any additional mechanical loads.



3.6.2 Installation

Preparing the flanged end for connection 1. Align the distribution board mounting surface so that it is flat.

2. Prepare the cutouts.

3. Reinforce the distribution board mounting surface in accordance with the weight of the terminal element.

4. The distribution board must contain fixtures for mechanically securing the flanged end. The flanged end's own weight must be mechanically decoupled from the electrical connection (copper connection).

5. Electrical connecting lugs must be provided for the electrical connection. During this process, observe the flanged end connection dimensions and cross-section specifications, as well as the distribution board manufacturer's specifications.

Installation in the distribution board Following storage and transport to the installation location, you must first mechanically secure the flanged end in the distribution board. After that, you electrically connect the flanged end to the busbars or the circuit breaker.

Mechanically fixing the flanged end 1. The power cables of the terminal element must be mechanically fixed in the distribution

board. No additional forces must arise.

2. Attach the cover plate to the distribution board enclosure. Observe the distribution board specifications relating to the degree of protection. It may be necessary to use additional sealant in order to achieve degrees of protection higher than IP55.

Connecting the flanged end electrically 1. Remove the protective transportation devices.

2. Perform the electrical connection in accordance with the terminal element specifications and the information provided by the distribution board manufacturer. Dimension the connecting material in accordance with these specifications.

Note

You must comply with the required minimum cross-sections for the flanged end, otherwise the maximum permissible limit temperature of 130°C cannot be guaranteed.

The design of the electrical connection determines the short circuit strength.

The designer, usually the distribution board manufacturer or constructor, is responsible for the temperature and short circuit rating of the electrical connection.

Siemens Spares




3.6.3 Positioning the connection unit above the transformer ● Always position the connection tags of the transformer connection unit over the centre of

the transformer connection tags; you may have to move the transformer to achieve this.

● Ensure that no more than 150 mm separate the connection tags of the transformer connection unit and those of the transformer.

● Only use appropriate flexible connecting material (such as flexible copper straps provided by the customer) to establish the electrical connection.

Depending on the system size, a set of flexible straps and screws is available for transformer connection. A set price is available for the bid phase. Within the scope of detailed configuration, during ordering this set is broken down into flexible straps and bolting sets (LR-FLEX*, LR-SCREW*).



3.6.4 Handling if multiple busbar runs are laid in parallel

Procedure If busbar runs are laid in parallel, you must connect multiple transformer connection units in parallel too.

1. Mechanical connection: When fixing the units above the transformer, the large amount of space required means that you must take particular note of the installation dimensions of the transformer connection units and the transformer.

2. Electrical connection: The parallel connection is carried out using additional parallel connectors. These parallel connectors must be provided by the customer. Refer to the supplied installation instructions for minimum specifications relating to the connecting surface and cross-section of the parallel connectors.

An installation engineer must inspect the external electrical and mechanical connections.

Note

It is beyond the scope of this manual to document the huge number of different on-site conditions that may arise. Therefore, we recommend that installation experts evaluate on-site conditions.

CAUTION You must follow the assembly sequence step by step in order to install multiple transformer connection units connected in parallel. The first step deals with the mechanical and the second with the electrical connection.

Commissioning 44.1 Steps to be performed prior to electrification of the line

WARNING Hazardous voltage

Danger of death or serious injury! Therefore, proceed with extreme caution and follow these instructions carefully.

1. Insulate the busbar trunking system from the connections to transformers, switches, meters, etc.

2. Check that all connections are fully tightened. Follow the instructions relating to tightening torques (visual inspection with record of results).

3. Check all suspension and fixing elements. All the fixing studs and screws of the fixing brackets must be tightened.

4. Make sure that all tap-off units and tapping equipment is disconnected (OFF).

5. Carry out an insulation resistance test to make sure that there are no short circuits or earth failures in the system (phase - earth, phase - neutral and phase - phase). You will observe that the readings vary depending on the length of the run, the number and size of the conductors and the level of moisture in the atmosphere. Record the measured values in an insulation test report. If you obtain readings lower than 1 MΩ per 100 m (1 MΩ x 100/length of run in metres), please contact technical support. As a rule, you must comply with the relevant country-specific regulations (in Germany, this is a minimum of 0.5 MΩ).

6. Check that the poles on the busbar trunking system and those on the transformers, switches, meters, etc. correspond correctly on electrification.

WARNING

The following actions may only be carried out by authorised electrically skilled persons: • Establishing zero potential • Preventing the system from being switched back on • Documenting these switching operations

Siemens Spares


Commissioning 4.2 Electrifying the line


4.2 Electrifying the line

WARNING Hazardous voltage

Danger of death or serious injury! The first time that the busbar trunking system conductors are electrified can be dangerous. Therefore, you must follow the instructions below to the letter, along with the country-specific regulations valid in each case.

1. Qualified personnel must be present the first time the line is electrified. If short circuits or earth failures caused by incorrect installation have not been previously detected, this can lead to serious consequences once voltage is applied.

2. There must be no electrical load connected to the busbar trunking system when it is electrified; the entire system must be checked to ensure that this is the case.

3. You must electrify the line step by step, starting at the power supply and moving towards the loads at the end. The principal elements must be electrified first, followed by the feed equipment and, finally, the secondary element circuits. You must act with purpose and conviction when connecting the line.

4. Once the line has been connected, consumers such as lights, contactors, heaters and motors can be switched on.

5. Faults caused by short circuits must trigger the protective device for the feeder unit in the manner prescribed by the official regulations. You must ensure that the system is de-energised before you eliminate the cause of the fault. Observe the five safety rules: 1. Disconnect; 2. Safeguard against restart; 3. Ensure the system is de-energised; 4. Earth and short circuit; 5. Cover and safeguard neighbouring live parts.


Service and maintenance 5

The LR busbar trunking system is maintenance-free as long as the following conditions are met:

● Assembly was performed in line with the valid guidelines as per the installation instructions and the installation manual.

● Commissioning was performed correctly and then checked and logged with insulation measurements and visual inspections.

● There are no extreme mechanical stresses/loads due to external forces.

● There are no extreme stresses/loads due to water or liquids.

● There are no extreme stresses/loads due to aggressive media.

● There are no other malfunction-based loads/stresses due to short circuits, fire or gas.

This maintenance-free claim does not include devices fitted in tap-off units, feeder units or coupling units. The instructions on their maintenance should be taken from the respective manuals/documentation supplied with the devices.

Within the scope of subsequent operational checks, the following tests are recommended:

● Visual inspections of the busbar run for external damage

● Visual inspection of the plastic membranes (neoprene seals) at the terminal elements for damage

● Checking of the customer connections (tightening torque check of the screwed mechanical connections M10 and M12 ⇒ torque specifications in accordance with DIN).

Installation and maintenance of the busbars in the EX area

NOTICE In the EX area, you must ensure that electrostatic charging of the busbar insulation is prevented by the measures below.

The measures are:

● Service and cleaning work must only be carried out when it has been ascertained that no explosive atmosphere is present. Following installation, the ATEX designation and the danger notice must be clearly visible.

● If any of the conditions listed above cannot be guaranteed, you should consult your SIEMENS contact directly.

● Please also get in touch with your SIEMENS contact for any additional inspections that have to be performed regularly for the erector and operator due to country-specific standards, regulations on accident prevention and safety, as well as for special work areas.
