1.4. Installation, commissioning and service
The personnel in charge of installing, commissioning and maintaining this equipment must be
qualified and must be aware of the procedures for handling it. The product documentation
should be read before installing, commissioning or carrying out maintenance work on the
equipment.
Personnel should take specific protection measures to avoid the risk of electronic discharge
when access is unlocked on the rear part of the equipment.
In order to guarantee safety, the crimp terminal and a suitable tool must be used to meet
isolation requirements on the terminal strip. Crimped terminations must be used for the voltage
and current connections.
It is necessary to connect the equipment to earth through the corresponding terminal, using the
shortest possible cable. As well as guaranteeing safety for the personnel, this connection
allows high frequency noise to be evacuated directly to earth.
The following checks must be performed before the equipment is supplied:

The rated voltage and polarity.

The power rating of the CT circuit and the integrity of the connections.

The integrity of the earth connection.
The equipment must be used within the stipulated electrical and environmental limits.
Note referred to current transformer circuits: Do not open a live CT secondary circuit. The high
voltage produced as a result could damage the isolation and threaten lives.
1.5. Storage
If the relays are not going to be installed immediately, they must be stored in a dust- and
humidity free environment after the visual inspection has been performed.
1.6. Recycling
Before recycling the equipment, the capacitors should be discharged through the external
terminals. All electrical power sources should be removed before performing this operation to
avoid the risk of electrical discharge.
