To uncover the bushing contacts (2) to be earthed, open the shutter either to the busbar
compartment (1) or to the connection compartment
(3) as described in chapter 18 “Operating
the shutters”.

Earthing the bushing contacts
Hereafter, it is exemplarily shown how to attach the earthing device to the bushing contacts in the upper row
of bushings linked with the
busbar compartment
. Proceed in the same way when attaching the earthing
device to the bushing contacts in the lower row of bushings linked with the
connection compartment
.
DANGER
Electric shock
Perform the following activities in the presence of an observer until the
earthing device is completely mounted to all three bushing contacts. In
case of emergency, this person can call for help.
Exclusively
use the associated earthing rod for attaching the earthing
tulips to the bushing contacts.
Use the earthing accessories only in the way described hereafter. Never
reach out beyond the limiting ring on the earthing rod. This ensures a safe
distance to the bushing contacts.
HINT
Unexpected light and noise
After isolation, the busbar system still carries some capacitive charging.
Expect short light and noise from a minor electrostatic discharge while
leading the earthing rod with the earthing tulip on top towards the bushing
contact.
