installed which has not yet been connected to the mains, and that it is therefore not live.

➭ Cover or barrier adjacent live parts.
NOTICE
Functional failure due to pollution
Pollution or stepping on the switchgear can lead to functional failures during operation.
➭ Avoid any work that could pollute the switchgear (e. g. sawing, filing, painting or
plastering in the switchgear room, etc.).
➭ Do not step on the switchgear.
NOTICE
Damage to the operating mechanism
Undoing the sealed bolts can damage the Siemens high-voltage vacuum contactor.
Components inside the operating mechanism can come loose.
