Instruction manual BA 439/05 E
Your safety first – always!
That's why our instruction manual begins with these recommendations:
• Only install switchgear and/or switchboards in enclosed rooms suitable for

electrical equipment.
• Ensure that installation, operation and maintenance are carried out by
specialist electricians only.
• Comply in full with the legally recognized standards (DIN VDE / IEC), the
connection conditions of the local electrical utility and the applicable safety
at work regulations.
• Observe the relevant information in the instruction manual for all actions
involving switchgear and switchboards.
• Danger!
Pay special attention to the hazard notes in the instruction manual marked with
this warning symbol.
• Make sure that under operation condition of the switchgear or switchboard
the specified data are not exceeded.
• Keep the instruction manual accessible to all persons concerned with
installation, operation and maintenance.
• The user’s personnel are to act responsibly in all matters affecting safety at
work and the correct handling of the switchgear.

gases, or salt.
1.3.2 Special operating conditions

Special operating conditions are to be agreed by
the manufacturer and operator. The manufacturer
is to be consulted in advance about each special
operating condition:
• Site altitude above 1000 m:
– Adjustment of the gas monitoring system is
required for greater altitudes.
– For systems with HRC fuses, account must
be taken of the reduction in dielectric strength
on the air-insulated HRC fuses.
• Increased ambient temperature:
– The current carrying capacity is reduced.
– Additional cooling facilities for heat dissipation
are to be provided.
• Climate:
– The risk of corrosion or other impairment, e.g.
in the low voltage compartment, is to be
avoided in areas:
• with high humidity and/or
• with major, rapid temperature fluctuations.
– Take countermeasures to prevent conden-
sation phenomena (e.g. provide electric
heaters).

3.15 Test facilities

The panels/switchgear blocks are properly filled
with insulating gas at the works and tested to the
VDE or IEC standards. Testing on completion of
switchgear installation is therefore unnecessary.
Should there be any need to perform tests, the
tests are to be performed as follows:
• For voltage and current tests, direct access to
the conductors in the connection area is
possible without releasing the cable connection
or draining off insulating gas. Access is effected
via suitable short test cables with T-plugs.
Surge arresters must be removed during voltage
tests.
• Voltage tests:
– Cable tests with DC voltage,
– cable fault location measurements with
impulse voltage and
– system tests (without cables) with an AC
voltage can be performed with appropriate
test equipment.
• Appropriate testing equipment with an external
cone plug system is to be used to test the
protection devices by primary current injection.
The further testing processes are described in
the following sections:
– Testing for the off circuit
condition: Section 6.4.1
– Testing for the in-phase
condition: Section 6.4.2
