4 Converting the earthing and testing truck to the appropriate function

The earthing and testing truck can be used as a tool for the following voltage tests:

Voltage tests on the busbar (see page ● 20)

Voltage tests on the high-voltage cables connected (see page ● 20)

The truck is delivered with busbar or cable compartment connection, depend-ing on customer’s requirements.

Prior to the intended use, the truck must be set and tested appropriately.

Earthing and testing 4.1 truck with finger-type contacts

Truck4.1.1 for busbar

In service position, the testing with- drawable part only establishes electrical contact with the upper fixed contacts of the panel.

Thus, the shutter actuation of the truck may only be mounted on its right-hand side to make sure that only the upper shutter is actuated.

Any shutter synchronization installed in part of the panels must be deacti-vated (see page 15).

Warning! High voltage! The lower shutter must remain closed in any case.

Truck4.1.2 for cable connection

In service position, the testing with- drawable part only establishes electrical contact with the lower fixed contacts of the panel.

Thus, the shutter actuation of the truck may only be mounted on its left-hand side to make sure that only the lower shutter is actuated.

Any shutter synchronization installed in part of the panels must be inter-rupted (see page 15).

Warning! High voltage! The upper shutter must remain closed in any case.

4.3 Deactivating shutter synchronization in the PIX panel

PIX panels are partially equipped with a synchronization mechanism ensuring that both shutters are always actuated simultaneously. This applies to panels with a panel width of 1000 mm exclusively.

Warning! High voltage! When the earthing and testing truck is used, this synchronization must be deactivated, in order to open the shutters selectively.

The shutter synchronization must only be interrupted on the right-hand side of the shutter actuation.

Important:Whenever you detect anomalies, faults or malfunctions, do not commission the earthing and testing truck, but inform the manufacturer.

● Clean the earthing and testing truck, removing contamination resulting from assembly work.

Remove all the attached information tags, cards, brochures and instruc- ●tions no longer needed.

Check the tightening torques of all bolt fastenings and connections estab- ●lished on the site of installation.

Minor damage to the paint can be repaired using commercially available paint.

● Check the earthing and testing truck for damage which might be due to transport or assembly work.

Compare data on nameplate with the required ratings. ●

Racking the earthing and testing 5.2 truck into the panel

A transport trolley must be used to rack the earthing and testing truck (Fig. 23) into the panel. The trolley is not an integral part of the standard accessories.

For the design and method of operation of the transport trolley used, please refer to the instructions for the PIX panel in question.

Racking the earthing and testing truck into and out of the panel on the trolley is also described in the instructions for the PIX panel in question.

Function testing5.3

Move 1. truck into its service and disconnected positions via the crank (see Chapter 6.3 ).

Check mechanical interlocks between the 2. truck and the panel. Check position indication.

6 Operation

Interlocks6.1

For the earthing and testing truck, the panel-specific models of the truck inter-lock apply. They are recorded in the panel instruction manuals and specified in the contract details.

Operating specifications6.2

The switchgear unit may only be operated by specialist electricians who have proven experience (training certificate) in conjunction with the PIX 12-17-24 kV series and all the relevant safety standards.

Refer also to the safety provisions in Chapter 1.

Warning! To rule out faulty switching operations, the operating sequences described below must be complied with. Each switching operation must be completed.

Check whether the supply voltage is ON.

Important:After each switching operation for which you have used a crank or a lever, remove this tool and store it in the tool board.

6.3 Moving the truck into service/disconnected position

Warning!Trucks may on principle only be moved into service or disconnected position when de-energized. Isolate the busbar / outgoing feeder cable from the power supply and earth it.

Important:Do not pull the crank out before the truck in question has reached its end posi-tion; do not pull it out in an undefined intermediate position.

Initial situation:

Earthing switch OFF ●Busbar / cable connection compartment de-energized and earthed ●

The following figures show the earthing and testing truck for the busbar. Op-eration of the truck variant for cable connection is identical.

Adjust the earthing and testing 1. truck to the required busbar or cable com-partment connection (Chapter 4).

Move the 2. truck into service position (see page 19, Chapter 6.3.1).

Open the front door and test all ball pins for zero voltage using an appro-3. priate voltage testing system.

Connect the earthing device in all three phases to the ball pins and to the 4. panel earthing (Fig. 32).

Maintenance7

Safety provisions7.1

Only specialist electricians certified by the manufacturer for maintenance work regarding earthing and testing trucks for PIX panels and who have the required knowledge regarding operation of medium-voltage switchgear are permitted to perform maintenance and cleaning work.

Warning!Comply with the safety provisions on page 6 and in the PIX Techni-cal Manual.

Warning!Risk of injuries. The earthing and testing truck must not be disas-sembled for maintenance work.

Servicing schedule7.2

The earthing and testing truck must be checked at regular intervals. The in-tervals depend on the strain to which the earthing and testing truck is subject during operation, and on the operating conditions.

In case of frequent condensation or air pollution (dust, smoke or corrosive gases), the maintenance intervals must be adapted to the actual conditions.

Important:The operating company is responsible for complying with the specified mainte-nance intervals and for performing maintenance according to the actual operat-ing and ambient conditions.

In case of queries or ambiguities, please contact the manufacturer.

Cleaning insulating components7.3

To ensure the specified insulating level, the insulating components must be clean.

On principle, general cleanliness of the earthing and testing truck and of its insulating parts should be ensured.

Clean using a dry, lint-free cloth. Depending on the degree of soiling, replace cloth as often as necessary.

Clean using cleaning agent (see page 25). The use of other cleaning agents is not admissible.

Wear protective gloves ●Use cleaning agents according to manufacturer ● ‘s instructions

Soak the cloth thoroughly and wipe the insulating components. Keep dura- ●tion of exposure as short as possible.

Expose the cleaned surface to the air for at least two hours. ●

Corrosion protection7.4

Drive mechanisms and covers have a long-term protection against corrosion. Any damage to the paint, scratches and other damage must be repaired imme-diately to avoid corrosion. Contact the manufacturer’s Service Center.

Avoid condensation7.5

To ensure the specified insulating level, the earthing and testing truck – es-pecially its insulating components – must not be exposed to condensation. If condensation should be detected on the earthing and testing truck: Clean the truck (see Chapter 7.3 ).

Slight contamination:

Serious contamination:

Treatment of the sliding contact surfaces8.4

Important:Caution when handling bars insulated by heat-shrinkable sleeves: The ●heat-shrinkable sleeve must not get into contact with lubricant (swelling).

Contact areas coated with lubricant Kontasynth should not be touched, if ●possible.

Clean silver-plated contact surfaces by means of lint-free cloth; use clean-1. ing agent in case of serious contamination.

Immediately after the pre-treatment, coat the contact surfaces with a thin 2. film of lubricant Kontasynth.
