MAINTENANCE
5.1
ONSHORE
In general the SIS Bus Bar System is maintenance
free.
Only if the grading distance at open, not covered bus
bar ends (red parts of the bus bars) is heavy coated
with dust, a cleaning with soap water, alcohol or spirit
are recommended. The interval is depending of the
ambient conditions.
Other maintenance work is not necessary for the SIS
Bus Bar System.
If monitoring of the bus bar system is desired,
connections can be tested on different temperature
rise compared to the other phases using an infrared
camera.
If connections are opened due to any reason, please
refer to the SIS Installation Instructions for correct
torques.
Attention: Generally, do not torque Pfisterer Al elast
contact discs and screw connections twice!
