4.3 Operating the fixed type switchgears
4.3.1 Manual operation of the SFG switch-disconnector
4.3.1.1 Closing the SFG switch-disconnector
Figure 4.1
Closing the switch-
disconnector.
1) Ensure that the switch-disconnector’s position indicator is in the 0-
position (
1
).
2) Check that the interlocking selector is in the ‘Operation’ (
2
) position
and that the notch on the shaft end is pointing down (
3
).
3) If it is a fused switch-disconnector that is to be operated to the open
position due to a blown fuse or motor operation, the notch on the
shaft is to be rotated to point downwards before the switch-
disconnector is operated to the closed position.
4) Put the operating handle into the hole so that the guide key goes
into the notch on the shaft.
5) Turn the operating handle
clockwise
about 80 degrees until the
switch-disconnector closes.
6) If the device is fitted with a double spring control mechanism
(switch-fuse), the turning force must be increased towards the end
of the movement until the switch-disconnector finally closes. The
operation movement is always to be completed once started.

4) Put the operating handle into the hole so that the guide key goes
into the notch on the shaft.
5) Turn the operating handle
anti-clockwise
about 80 degrees until the
