SAFETY SECTION This Safety Section should be read before commencing any work on the equipment. Health and safety The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition.
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. To ensure that wires are correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be used. Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth terminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.
Fibre optic communication Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device. OLDER PRODUCTS Electrical adjustments Equipments which require direct physical adjustments to their operating mechanism to change current or voltage settings, should have the electrical power removed before making the change, to avoid any risk of electrical shock.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Protective fuse rating The recommended maximum rating of the external protective fuse for this equipment is 16A, Red Spot type or equivalent, unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the product documentation. Insulation class: IEC 601010-1 : 1990/A2 : 2001 This equipment requires a Class I protective (safety) earth...
If damage due to rough handling is evident, a claim should be made to the transport company concerned immediately, and AREVA T&D promptly notified. Relays which are supplied unmounted and not intended for immediate installation should be returned to their protective polythene bags.
Publication R6001 is a leaflet on the modular integrated drawout system Publication R6014 is a list recommended suppliers for the pre-insulated connectors. Section 2. COMMISSIONING General Before leaving the factory all relays are accurately adjusted, tested and carefully packed. Hence there should be no need for any re-adjustment on commissioning. Moving parts are held in position during transit by rubber bands and packing.
2.6.1 Relay types MVAG 11/31, 12/32, 15/35 and 16/36 have fixed settings. MVAG 13/33, 14/34, 17/37 and 18/38 have adjustable settings. Operate levels for all types should be within ±5% of their set values. Reset levels vary with type:...
0.003"/0.008" Nominal armature gap open 0.050"/0.060" for all types. Contact setting MVAA relays used as follower relays on the following MVAG types: MVAG 12/32, 14/34, 16/36, 18/38. Normal/heavy duty make and break contacts. With the armature closed onto a 0.011" feeler gauge the make contacts should be closed, but should be open using 0.013"...
Connections to pcb - when fitted. On relays with adjustable settings - chek setting value. Auxiliary supply (V ) not applied to terminals 13 and 14, MVAG 12/32, 14/34, 16/36 and 18/38. Check series resistors and rotary switches (where appropriate).
Repairs Should the need arise for the equipment to be returned to AREVA T&Dfor repair, then the form at the back of this manual should be completed and sent with the equipment together with a copy of any commissioning test results.
