with proven experience in conjunction with the GHA series and the applicable safety
provisions.
Please read the whole manual carefully before working on the switchgear.

Metal-enclosed AC switchgear for rated voltages > 1 kV up to including 52 kV:
IEC 62271-200

Use and handling of sulphur hexafuoride (SF
6
) in high-voltage switchgear: IEC
62271-303

The locally applicable accident prevention, operating and work instructions
must be complied with.

Installation: IEC 61936-1/EN 61936-1

The national standards applicable in the country where the equipment is to be
installed must be complied with.
Before performing work on the panels, it is essential that you comply with the follow-
ing instructions:
Danger!
Risk of fatalities due to high voltage. Isolation from high voltage
and earthing must always be ensured before performing assembly
or maintenance work.
Danger!
Risk of fatalities due to supply voltage. Isolation from supply
voltage must always be ensured before performing assembly or
maintenance work.
Warning!
Risk of injury due to movable parts in mechanical drives. For
maintenance work,
isolate the system from the supply voltage
release the circuit-breakers energy storing device by OFF-
ON-OFF operation and make-proof earthing switches by the
appropriate ON-operation.
Warning!
After removing covers from a switchgear unit, operator safety
may be reduced regarding internal arcs unless the switchgear is
isolated from the power supply. Optimum operator safety is only
ensured if the switchgear is completely disconnected from the
power supply and grounded during assembly.
For the case of an internal fault, the GHA switchgear features pressure relief ports
which prevent the panels and the switchgear from bursting.
This Technical Manual does not include information regarding the safety of buildings
in case of internal faults (pressure load of the switchgear room and necessary pres-
sure relief ports). Pressure calculations for switchgear rooms incl. recommendations
regarding pressure relief ports can be provided on request against a fee. For further
details, please contact the manufacturer.
In case of fre or of internal faults, toxic and caustic decomposition products may be
produced. Comply with the locally applicable accident and safety provisions.
In case of personal injury, take frst-aid measures or cause them to be taken.

4.1 Safety provisions
The switchgear panels may only be installed and assembled by the manufacturers
staff or by persons who have been certifed for this work.
The GHA series switchgear panels are delivered with the circuit-breaker set to
OFF, the energy storing device released and the disconnector and earthing switch
set to OFF.
Warning!
Risk of injury due to movable parts in the mechanical drive. The
energy storing device of the circuit-breakers and the earthing
switches must not be charged during assembly.
Warning!
Risk of accidents! Watch out for foor openings in the switchgear
room.
Danger!
Danger due to insuffcient dielectric strength of high-voltage con-
nections in case of assembly under aggravated ambient condi-
tions. During assembly of the busbar link and the high-voltage
connections, it is essential to avoid condensation, dirt and dust
deposits. At the time of installation, the ambient temperature must
amount to 10 C.
Warning!
The top sides of the panels are not meant to be walked on. Per-
sons may fall through them, get injured or may damage the panel.
When work has to be performed on the panel top - e.g. assembly
of defectors, fans or pressure relief ducts - temporarily position a
solid mounting rack to step on.
Warning!
Risk of injury due to non-respect of the safety provisions in Chap-
ter 1, on page 7.
4.2 Important instructions for assembly
Important:

Switchgear with pressure relief duct (see Chapter 8, as of page
63): The pressure relief duct must be mounted before the panel is
positioned on the base frame.

Condensation, dirt and dust should be avoided during assembly
on all accounts, in order to prevent damage to the panels.

For assembly, observe the assembly drawings supplied with the
equipment. Read them before you commence assembly work.
The drawing numbers are specifed in this manual under the de-
scription of the assembly work in question.

For all screw connections, refer to the tightening torques specifed
in the Annex.

The transport securing device on the busbars must not be re-
moved before assembly of the busbar link acc. to Chapter 4.7 on

4.3 Requirements regarding the switchgear room
Important:
Before installing the switchgear panels, make sure that the switchgear
room is checked according to the customer-specifc switchgear docu-
mentation.

Observe the minimum distance between the switchgear and the wall of the
building.

The load-bearing capacity of the fastening areas must correspond to the weight
of the switchgear (perform a stress analysis of the building).

Check base frame for dimensions and tolerances in position.

Check position of foor openings for high-voltage and low-voltage cables.
Before the switchgear is positioned at its site of installation, check that the base
frame dimensions are precisely correct.
Flatness: 1 mm/meter
Straightness: 1 mm/meter
