Maintenance

General

The recloser switch unit of the SDR vacuum 
recloser is designed to require no 
maintenance for 10,000 operating cycles 
under ANSI/IEEE C37.60 “usual service 
conditions.” Regular monitoring and, if need 
be, replacement of the batteries is necessary 
for the triple-single type SDR controller. 
Regular maintenance is required for 
components in the controller, primarily 
consisting of checks of cleanliness, tightness 
of connections, battery test and similar 
activities.

Maintenance plan

The following work should be carried out as 
part of regular inspections reflected in Table 
3.

Spare parts

Parts must be replaced only by instructed and 
certified personnel. Refer to list in Table 4.

Hazardous voltages.

Will cause death, serious injury or property damage.

Always de-energize and ground the equipment and all terminals before 
performing any work near high-voltage conductors.

Work on the recloser switch unit or the control cubicle should be 
performed only by qualified personnel.

Do not open the inner panel of the control cubicle, as interior parts 
energized at voltages higher than 50 V are present.

Do not disconnect control or sensor cables while recloser is energized, 
as connectors contain energized parts.
