First level maintenance should be carried out in accordance with the maintenance schedule shown on
page 267.
WARNING! before proceeding with any maintenance operation, it is mandatory to:
• Set the circuit-breaker to the open position and make sure that the springs of the
operating mechanism are discharged.
• In the case of a withdrawable circuit-breaker, extract the circuit-breaker from the fixed
part (see the indication DISCONNECTED)
• If work must be performed on fixed circuit-breakers or on fixed parts, disconnect the
power supply to the power circuit and auxiliary circuits and visibly ground the terminals
on both the supply side and load side.
Perform the following checks:
1. Make sure that the circuit-breaker is clean. Remove dust and oily substances or excess grease with
a clean, dry cloth and mild detergent if necessary. If there is a thick build-up of dirt, use a thinner
from the greasing kit or ask for assistance from the service staff.
2. Check that the rating plates with the technical specifications of the apparatus are present.
3. Clean the rating plates with clean, dry rags.
4. Make sure that there are no foreign bodies in the circuit-breaker compartment.
Perform the following checks on the connections:
1. With dry paint-brushes and rags remove dust or soil, if present (use a non- aggressive detergent
if necessary. Use a cleaning product such as Chemma 18 or equivalent if there is a heavy coating
of dirt).
2. Make sure there there are no traces of overheating on the terminals. Overheating is detected by
a different coloration of the parts in contact; the contact parts are usually silvery white in colour.
3. Check the tightness of fastening bolts for all connections to the terminals
WARNING! if work must be performed on fixed circuit-breakers or on fixed parts, disconnect
the power supply to the power circuit and auxiliary circuits and visibly earth the terminals
on both the supply side and load side.
