7.1.2 Racking from ISOLATED to IN SERVICE
position
It is assumed the truck is in the ISOLATED position.
The same label also indicates that you need to
rotate the racking handle clockwise to put the
truck in the SERVICE position.
Also the label specifies you need to rotate the
racking handle clockwise for 14 rotations to
reach the SERVICE position.
When the SERVICE position is reached the racking
handle comes to a hard stop.
It is, therefore, recommended to rotate the racking
handle clockwise till a hard stop is reached to
ensure the contactor truck is in the designed
SERVICE position.
The mechanical position indicator will show `
IN SERVICE` in white letters on a red background.
Operational interlocks are set to function in
the SERVICE position.
Caution!
If the truck has not been racked in 14
turns and the `IN SERVICE` label is not
fully visible, the contactor should not be
switched ON.
Where a voltage transformer (installed on the
contactor truck) powers the control circuit, please
note that this supply is active only when the
contactor truck is in service. If supply is required
to this circuit under other conditions we recommend
connecting a temporary test supply via terminals
in the instrument compartment A. Truck position
indication label as shown on the picture below is
visible through the top viewing glass. Please note
that the contactor cannot be closed while the
truck is in an intermediate position indicated
by the yellow position indication.
Important note!
Insertion and withdrawal of contactors must
be gradual, in order to avoid any shocks
which could deform the mechanical interlock.
If the operations are prevented, do not
force the interlocks but check that the
operating sequence is correct. The torque
normally applicable to the insertion/
withdrawing lever is 5 Nm.
Caution!
The insertion and withdrawal must always
be carried out with the contactor open!
Do not use force to move withdrawable
modules fitted with locking magnet Y0
in the event of an auxiliary voltage drop. If
this occurs, consult section 4.3.4 to remove
the interlock.
Withdrawal from the ISOLATED position onto a
service trolley:
•
Open the door of the contactor compartment
•
Position service trolley with guide pins (7/6)
of the adjustable bench top at the correct
height facing the panel front, and push
forward to engage
