Instruction manual
Recommended hand tools
Type SDV-R distribution circuit breakers use
both standard SAE (U.S. customary) and
metric fasteners. Metric fasteners are used for
the vacuum interrupters and in the vacuum
interrupter/operator module. SAE (U.S.
customary) fasteners are used in most other
locations. This list of hand tools describes
those normally used in disassembly and re-
assembly procedures.
SAE (U.S. customary):
•
Socket and open-end wrenches:
5/16”-7/8” and 7 mm-55 mm
• Deep sockets: 19 mm and 24 mm
•
Hex keys: 3/16” and 1/4”; 8 mm
• Torque wrench: 0 to 150 ft-lbs
(0 to 200 Nm)
• Screwdrivers: 0.032 x 1/4” wide and
0.055” x 7/16” wide
• Drift pins: 1/8”, 3/16”, and 1/4”
•
Pliers
•
Light hammer
• Mechanic’s mirror
• Flashlight
• Drift pins
• Retaining rind pliers (external type, tip
diameter 0.038”).
Recommended maintenance and
lubrication
Periodic maintenance and lubrication should
include all the tasks shown in Table 4:
Periodic maintenance and lubrication tasks on
page 39.
The list of tasks does not represent an
exhaustive survey of maintenance steps
necessary to ensure safe operation of the
equipment.
Particular applications may require further
procedures. Should further information be
desired or should particular problems arise
not covered sufficiently for the Purchaser’s
purposes, the matter should be referred to
Siemens at +1 (800) 333-7421 or 1-423-
262-5700 outside the U.S.
Note:
A preventive maintenance program
is not intended to cover reconditioning or
major repair, but should be designed to
reveal, if possible, the need for such actions
in time to prevent malfunctions during
operation.
De-energize the circuit breaker
Prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance checks, the circuit breaker must
be de-energized, isolated, and grounded.
Principal steps are outlined below for
information and guidance.
Be sure that the circuit breaker and its
mechanism are disconnected from all electric
power, both high voltage and control voltage,
before it is inspected or repaired.
After the circuit breaker has been
disconnected (isolated) from power lines,
attach the grounding leads properly before
touching any of the circuit breaker parts.
De-energize the control power to the circuit
breaker.
