3.5.2.2 Normal
interlocking
General
Normal interlocking is determined by the position of the interlocking
selector mechanism. The selector can be locked in the required position
using a padlock.
Interlocking
Locked in ‘Operation’ position:
Switch-disconnector can only be operated close-open.
Locked in ‘Padlock’ position:
Switch-disconnector is in open position, it cannot be operated.
Locked in ‘Test’ position:
Switch-disconnector can only be operated open-earthed.
Locked in ‘Door open’ position:
Switch-disconnector is in earthed position, it cannot be operated.
Cable testing
When the cable compartment door is open, the SFG switch-
disconnector is locked in the earthed position. The interlocking can be
removed by moving the interlock selector to the ‘Test’ position. This will
allow the switch-disconnector to be operated to the open position to
enable insulation measurement of the cables.
After measurement, the switch-disconnector first has to be moved to the
earthed position before the interlock selector can be moved to the ‘Door
open’ position so that the door can be closed.
