Your safety first - always!

That's why our instruction manual begins with
these recommendations:
• Operate the switchgear as prescribed for its
intended purpose.
• Ensure that the technical data on the name plate
and in the specification are not exceeded during
operation of the switchgear.
• Only install the switchgear in enclosed rooms
suitable for electrical equipment.
• With the aim of a smooth installation sequence
and ensuring a high-quality standard, have
installation at site performed by specially trained
personnel or managed and supervised by the
ABB Service Department.
• Ensure that installation, operation and
maintenance are only performed by specialist
electricians familiar with this manual.
• Comply in full of the legally recognized
standards (IEC/DIN VDE/GB), the connection
conditions of the local electrical utility and the
applicable safety at work regulations.
• Follow the instructions in the documentation
when performing any work on switching devices
and switchgear.
• Keep all documentation accessible to all persons
concerned with installation, operation and
maintenance.
• The user's personnel bear unlimited responsibility
in all matters affecting safety at work and the
correct handling of the switchgear in accordance
with EN 50110 and national regulations.
• Always observe the five safety rules set out in
EN 50110 on establishing and securing the off-
circuit condition at the place of work for the
duration of work on the switchgear. Gas-insulated
switchgear are notable for maximum safety, as
the circuit breaker performs the earthing switch
function in conjunction with the three position
disconnector. The sequence of safety rules
therefore deviates from that proposed in the
standard as follows.
Isolate,
Check the off-circuit condition,
Earth and short-circuit,
Secure to prevent reconnection,
Cover or guard off adjacent live parts.
