Inspection and maintenance intervals
Periodic inspections and maintenance are
essential to obtain safe and reliable operation
of the type SDV7-AR distribution circuit
breaker.
When type SDV7-AR distribution circuit
breakers are operated under “usual service
conditions,” maintenance and lubrication is
recommended at five-year intervals or at the
number of operations indicated in Table 5:
Maintenance and lubrication intervals on
page 39, whichever occurs first. “Usual” and
“unusual” service conditions for ac high-
voltage circuit breakers are defined in ANSI/
IEEE C37.04, section 4 and ANSI/IEEE
C37.010, section 4. Generally, “usual service
conditions” are defined as an environment in
which the equipment is not exposed to
excessive dust, acid fumes, damaging
chemicals, salt air, rapid or frequent changes
in temperature, vibration, high humidity and
extremes of temperature.
The definition of “usual service conditions” is
subject to a variety of interpretations.
Because of this, you are best served by
adjusting maintenance and lubrication
intervals based on your experience with the
equipment in the actual service environment.
Regardless of the length of the maintenance
and lubrication interval, Siemens
recommends that circuit breakers should be
inspected and exercised annually.
For the safety of maintenance personnel as
well as others who might be exposed to
hazards associated with maintenance
activities, the safety-related work practices of
NFPA 70E (especially chapter 1) should
always be followed when working on
electrical equipment.
Maintenance personnel should be trained in
the safety practices, procedures and
requirements that pertain to their respective
job assignments.
This instruction manual should be reviewed
and retained in a location readily accessible
for reference during maintenance of this
equipment.
The user must establish a periodic
maintenance program to ensure trouble-free
and safe operation.
The frequency of inspection, periodic
cleaning and preventive maintenance
schedule will depend upon the operation
conditions. NFPA Publication 70B, “Electrical
Equipment Maintenance” may be used as a
guide to establish such a program.
Hazardous voltages and high speed moving parts.
Will cause death, serious injury or property damage.
Read instruction manuals, observe safety instructions and use qualified
personnel.
