1.4. Installation, commisioning 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: 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.
This product must be disposed of in a safe way. It should not be incinerated or brought into contact with
water sources like rivers, lakes, etc.
