Operating manual HVL 120-0.3
6 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Safety instructions
On stationary railway installations in the vicinity of overhead line and current collector areas, voltages occur
which can be dangerous to the human body.
To ensure successful and safe operation, assembly and maintenance of the low voltage limiter, the following
fundamental safety instructions must be observed and followed:
o
Installation and assembly of the low voltage limiter must only be carried out by qualified personnel
who by reason of their knowledge, abilities and experience, can carry out the work in the technically
correct manner, and who can independently evaluate the dangers involved.
o
Before beginning the work, all members of the workforce must be sufficiently informed of the
possible dangers which arise through operation of the railway. For their personal protection, all
members of the workforce must carry out precautionary and/or safety measures.
o
Depending on the local conditions, the measures to establish and to secure the de-energised
condition must be carried out on installations or installation components, where necessary.
o
The low voltage limiter must only be assembled, installed and operated with the supplied
accessories for its intended purpose and in accordance with its specifications.
o
Modifications and repairs to the low voltage limiter itself and to its mounting parts are prohibited.
o
If special problems arise which were not covered or were insufficiently covered in this operating
manual, please contact ABB Schweiz.
Before beginning any electrical installation work, the following 5 safety rules for establishing and
securing the de-energised condition must be strictly observed.
o
Isolate the installation
o
Secure against switching on again
o
Check the de-energised state
o
Earth and short-circuit
o
Safely cover up or fix barriers around adjacent and live parts
Compliance with these safety measures will assist in preventing personal injury and material damage.
