If the CM is connected to DC voltage, pay special attention to the correct polarity for CM_16_1(Par1_60.1_Par2Par3_Par4_Par5). If Manual generators CBunit_ManGen are used for charging the CM, DC voltage outputs shall be connected to power supply inputs of CM_16_1.

The list of commissioning operations and checks is shown in Table 17 below. Initial state of VCB components before checks: ISM - open, CM - deenergized. Main circuits of ISM shall be disconnected/isolated from the main circuits of substation to avoid high voltage being applied to the ISM before the commissioning procedure completion.

7.1 Primary circuits Under normal operating conditions (see Table 1) the ISM is maintenance free for a period of at least 30 years or until it has reached the permissible number of operating cycles. However when maintenance is carried out on the switchgear then the commissioning tests should be repeated. Check that the ISM is disconnected from all voltage sources before inspecting its insulating parts.

7.2 Secondary circuits The CM is inherently maintenance free. However when maintenance is carried out on the switchgear then commissioning tests should be repeated. It is also recommended to conduct regular visual checks of the module housing and insulation of the wires connected to the CM. Test results should be treated as given in the Table 19.
If during installation, commissioning, operation or maintenance any non-conformity occurs, contact your nearest Tavrida Electric sales representative. The contact data and web site links are listed at the end of this document. In case of a non-conformity any repairs are strictly prohibited without permission from the sales representative.
