Checking the SF
6
gas pressure
To exclude any gas losses caused by transportation in the gas compartments filled at
the factory, the indications of the gas pressure manometers at the panels must be checked.
CAUTION
Insufficient gas filling can cause injury or property damage.
Operating the switchgear without service readiness due to insufficient gas filling can
cause injury and the destruction of parts of the switchgear.
➭ Before performing any switching operation, check the gas pressure in the compartments
pre-filled at the factory on the associated gas pressure indicators. The values must not drop
below the temperature-dependent limit values.
➭ Do not install, commission or operate a switchgear with incorrect or too low SF
6
gas
pressures. If required, isolate the switchgear and put it out of service.
➭ Inform the competent regional Siemens representative.
