Fig. 110: Pressure compensation element
that can be removed for checking an
outdoor connection sleeve using an
endoscope

After a shutdown of the bus bar system of 3 months or

more, it is highly recommended to check the

connection sleeves for penetration of moisture, water

or dirt.

To perform this check for indoor connection sleeves

(SIS), release the sealing flange on one side and

reassemble it after checking. Please note the

information contained in chapter 4.7.1 on page 50.

There are two options to perform this check for

outdoor connection sleeves (SISES).

First option is to remove the pressure compensation

element (highlighted red in

Fig. 110

) and to perform

the check by means of an endoscope. Reassemble

the pressure compensation element after the check.

Second option is to release the bellow and the ring-

seal unit on one side of the sleeve and to reassemble

it after checking. Please not the information contained

in chapter 4.7.2 on page 75.

Optionally, the insulation resistance can be measured

including measuring the absorption index of the

connection sleeves. Caution: Electrical tests have to

be conducted by electrically qualified persons.

If any moisture, water or dirt is found in one or more

connection sleeves during these checks, please

document these by photos and contact Ritz Instrument

Transformers GmbH.
