    1. Warnings and Safety Hints 1.1 Warnings During operation, electrical equipment carries dangerous voltages. In addition, circuit breaker emits hot, ionized gases when switching currents, especially short circuit currents. Installing, commissioning, maintaining, changing or refit- ting of this equipment must be carried out only by quali- fied and suitably trained personnel and under strict ob- servation of national and international applicable safety regulations.
