1 Safety provisions

This Technical Manual is for information only and is exclusively intended for special-ist electricians who have proven experience in conjunction with

■ the GHA series (training certificate) ■ the applicable safety provisions

■ Common regulations for high-voltage switchgear and control gear: IEC 62271-1 ■ The locally applicable accident prevention, operating and work instructions

must be complied with. ■ Installation: IEC 61936-1 / HD 637 S11

■ Operation of electrical equipment: EN 50110-11

1 The national standards applicable in the country where the equipment is to be installed must be complied with.

Before performing work on the panel, it is essential that you comply with the following instructions:

Danger!Before starting work on high-voltage components, de-energize the system, verify it for zero voltage and earth the system in ac-cordance with the applicable safety rules pursuant to EN 50110-1.

Warning!After removal of covers, operator safety in accordance with IEC 62271-200 may be restricted if the appropriate part of the switch-gear has not been isolated from the power supply.For the work described in this manual, operator safety from inter-nal arcs in accordance with the IAC classification is not ensured. Thus, in the case of manual switching operations, persons may only be located directly in front of the panels.Optimum operator safety is only ensured if the switchgear is com-pletely disconnected from the power supply and earthed during extension or replacement of panels. Thus, attempts should be made to achieve this switch condition at all times.

Danger!Before performing work in the drive area of the switchgear panels, switch off the supply voltage and prevent it from being switched ON again.

Warning!There is a risk of injury when working on the drive mechanism. Before commencing work, release the energy-storing device by – the OFF-ON-OFF (Open/Close/Open) operating sequence on

the circuit-breaker – closing the make-proof busbar earthing switch.

Warning!The top sides of the panels are not meant to be walked on. Per-sons may fall through them, get injured or may damage the panel. When work has to be performed on the panel top, temporarily position a solid base plate to step on.

3.1 Safety provisions

Warning!Comply with the safety provisions on page 6.

Warning!Confusing the busbar system involves a risk of injury. The term Busbar 1 (BB1) refers to the busbar arranged in the rear area of the panel, and the term Busbar 2 (BB2) to the busbar arranged in the upper part of the panel.During assembly, busbar 1 and busbar 2 must be identified clear-ly. Earthed as well as energized busbars must be identified by the appropriate warning and information signs.

Danger!Risk of injuries. The mounted black end caps on the busbar ends and the silicone sleeves of the busbar link are surge-proof and must not be subjected to any mechanical stress.

Warning!The initial position as shown, and the workflow described are intended as examples only.Before assembly is started, a complete description of the entire workflow of a switchgear extension must be prepared and verified in accordance with the local circumstances and conditions.

3.2 Important information ■ The surge-proof black end caps and the silicone sleeves of the busbar links are

safe to touch due to an earthed external conductive surface. ■ Before positioning new panels, insert the busbar clamping contacts into the

busbar tubes of the left-hand panel concerned. Inserting the clamping contacts after screw-fastening the panels would be very time-consuming.

■ The silicone link sleeves connecting the existing switchgear panel to the exten-sion panel may only be mounted on site.
