1 Introduction
This publication contains the information needed to install medium voltage AutoLink
Sectionalizer and put it into service.
For a correct use of the product, please read it carefully.
Like every apparatus we manufacture, AutoLink is designed for different installation
configurations.
However, these pieces of apparatus do allow further technical and construction
modifications (at customer’s request) to adapt to special installation requirements.
Consequently, the information given here may sometimes not contain instructions
concerning special configurations.
Besides this manual, it is therefore always necessary to consult the latest technical
documentation (assembly and installation drawings, protection coordination studies, etc.),
specially regarding any variants requested in relation to the standardized configurations.
Only use original spare parts for maintenance operations.
For further information, please also see the technical catalogue and the spare parts
catalogue.
All installation, putting into service, commissioning and maintenance
operations must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel with in-
depth knowledge of the apparatus.
2 Packing and Transportation
The AutoLink Sectionalizer is shipped in cardboard package, in disarmed position.
Each piece of apparatus is protected by a plastic cover to prevent any infiltration of water
during loading and unloading stages, and to keep the dust off during storage.
3 Checking on Reception
Before carrying out any operation, always make sure that the operating
mechanism springs are discharged and that the apparatus is in disarmed
position.
On reception, check the state of the apparatus, integrity of the packing and
correspondence with the nameplate information along with the order confirmation
specifications and the accompanying shipping note.
Also make sure that all materials described in the shipping note are included in the
supply.
Should any damage or irregularity be noted in the supply on unpacking, notify ABB
(directly or through the agent or distributor) as soon as possible and in any case within
five days of receipt.
The apparatus is only supplied with the accessories specified at the time of ordering and
validated in the order confirmation sent by ABB.
