 HINT 

Read and understand these instructions before attempting operating works. 

 
 

25.1  General maintenance 

General maintenance ensures undisturbed and uninterrupted operation of the switchgear. The frequency of 
inspection,  periodic  cleaning  and  preventive  maintenance  schedule  will  depend  upon  the  operating 
conditions of the switchgear. 
The maintenance measures are divided into the following fields: 
 

 

Visual inspection 

 

Maintenance 

 

NOTICE 

Non-observance of instructions 

Non-observance of the following instructions can damage the switchgear. 

 

All  measures  within  the  scope  of  maintenance  may  only  be  executed  by 
qualified personnel. 

 

Furthermore,  the  relevant  IEC  standards  and  the  local  and  site-related 
safety regulations must be observed. 

 

For questions about maintenance measures, please contact your regional 
Siemens representative. 

 
 

25.2  Time schedule for maintenance measures 

Besides  the  recommended  maintenance  intervals,  additional  maintenance  measures  may  be  required  for 
operational reasons. 

 
Recommended time schedule for maintenance measures:

 

 

Measure

 

Interval

 

Operational fact

 

Visual inspection 

Every year or at the 
operator's discretion. 

─ 

Maintenance 

Every 10 years, or depending on 
operational facts, or at the 
operator's discretion. 

E.g. after a short-circuit breaking or making 
operation of a circuit-breaker and/or an 
earthing switch when the permissible 
number of operating cycles has been 
reached 

Cleaning 

Depending on operational facts, or 
at the operator's discretion. 

Visual inspection, maintenance. 

Circuit-breaker 

According to advice and requirements in operating instructions of circuit-breaker.
