Hydraulic shock absorber
The mechanism is equipped with a hydraulic
shock-absorber that functions when the
circuit breaker opens. The shock absorber
should require no adjustment. However, at
maintenance checks, the shock absorber
should be examined for evidence of leaking.
If evidence of fluid leakage is found, the
shock absorber must be replaced to prevent
damage to the vacuum interrupter bellows.
After and internal arcing fault
In the unlikely event of an internal arcing
fault, de-energize and isolate all primary and
secondary circuits before performing any
inspections. Contact Siemens medium-
voltage customer service at +1 (800) 347-
6659 or +1 (919) 365-2200 outside the U.S
for assistance with repairs or replacement
parts and components.
