Some of the following tasks are carried out when hazardous voltage is present. For this
reason, they must only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the safety
regulations and precautions and who follow the safety regulations and precautions.
● Wear the prescribed protective clothing.
● Observe the general equipment regulations and safety regulations for working with high-
voltage installations (e.g. DIN VDE, NFPA 70E), as well as national or international
regulations.
● Ensure that the limits given in the technical data are not exceeded, not even during
commissioning or testing.
● Short circuit the secondary connections of intermediate current transformers at the
transformers before interrupting the current lines to the device.
● Test the polarity and the phase assignment of the instrument transformers.
● Before connecting the device, ensure that the system voltage matches the voltage
specified on the type plate.
● Before commissioning, ensure that all connections have been made correctly.
● Before power is applied to the device for the first time, you must place it in the operating
room for a period of at least two hours. This allows it to reach temperature balance and
avoids humidity and condensation.
