Suspend the SION vacuum circuit-breaker in the withdrawable frame from a

For crane transport, especially of heavy circuit-

breaker versions, we recommend use of a work-
shop crane, for example the Compac CC055 or

Storage

CAUTION
Damage!
If the packing has been opened, make sure during storage that the
SION vacuum circuit-breaker is in the following state in the with-
drawable frame:

OPEN (OFF) position

Closing spring relaxed

Until it is installed, store the withdrawable module with the SION vacuum circuit-breaker (and earthing switch) in
closed, dry, well-ventilated and, as far as possible, dust-free rooms in its foil (dense packing for overseas trans-
port). Relative humidity in storage rooms should be less than 60 %.
The withdrawable module with the SION vacuum circuit-breaker (and earthing switch) can be stored and trans-
ported outside the context of its normal operating conditions within the limit temperature range of -40 C to +55 C
in closed foil (tight and closed packing).
As the stacking quantity depends on the weight of the packing unit, the load-carrying capacity of the packing and
its overall height, no more than three packing units should be stacked on one another. The weight of the packing
unit is documented on the delivery note.
The withdrawable module with the SION vacuum circuit-breaker (and earthing switch) for overseas transport are
packed with VCI foil. The VCI foil creates a protective atmosphere that safeguards the circuit-breaker against cor-
rosion. The protective atmosphere evaporates without residues after a short time when the VCI foil is removed, so
the circuit-breaker can be used directly out of the packing without any subsequent treatment.

Installation

DANGER
High voltage! Mortal danger!
Do not touch live parts!
Make sure that the SION vacuum circuit-breaker in the with-
drawable frame is operated only by qualified personnel who
are familiar with the operating instructions and who comply
with the warning notices.

WARNING
Risk of injury!

minimum clearances from insulated and live parts, as well as
parts subject to spring force, are maintained.

Preparations
Before installation in the functional unit:
Remove packed accessories from the spaces
Move the SION vacuum circuit-breaker out of the withdrawable frame and remove it after opening the inter-
locks
Detach the transport beam.

1. Undo the screw on one side of the transport

beam.

Fitting the withdrawable frame

Installing the withdrawable frame in the functional unit
To secure the withdrawable frame (100) in the func-
tional unit, 6.6 mm holes can be produced in the
functional unit's space in conformity with the hole
pattern of the withdrawable frame's side walls, and
steel L-brackets (see Fig. 10) can be placed under
it.
Insert the withdrawable frame and lower it onto the
L-brackets.

Maintenance

DANGER
Risk of injury!
Working on the withdrawable module with the SION vacuum cir-
cuit-breaker activated/deactivated and with the spring energy store
charged can lead to mortally serious injuries.
Disconnect the operating voltage and switch off the low-
voltage supply before performing maintenance work!
Close and open the vacuum circuit-breaker manually. By doing
so, you will make sure that the circuit-breaker is open and that
the spring energy store is relaxed.
Close and open the vacuum circuit-breaker manually. By doing
so, you will make sure that the circuit-breaker is open and that
the spring energy store is relaxed.

Maintenance
General
The SION vacuum circuit-breaker requires no maintenance under normal conditions. We nevertheless recom-
mend a regular visual check.
For optimum insulation, the insulating parts must be clean:
Switch off the low-voltage supply before performing maintenance work!
In the event of heavy soiling, wipe off all other parts with a lint-free cleaning cloth.
Grease the contact faces to busbars with Vaseline.

Original Siemens spare parts are not used.
Fitters performing replacement have not been trained and certified by Siemens PTD M C.
Parts have been incorrectly fitted or adjusted.
Settings are not made in accordance with Siemens specifications.
After installation and setting, no final check is performed with a tester approved by PTD M C including docu-
mentation of the test results.
So that documentation can be kept complete, it is important for measurement results to be submitted to PTD M C
Q.

Disposal
If possible, the materials of the withdrawable module should be recycled. Disposal of the withdrawable module
with minimum environmental impact is possible on the basis of existing legal regulations.
The components of the withdrawable module, of the SION vacuum circuit-breaker and of the installation accesso-
ries can be recycled as mixed scrap, although dismantling to the maximum extent possible into sorted scrap and
mixed scrap residues is more environmentally sustainable.
Electronic scrap must be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
The withdrawable module with the SION vacuum circuit-breaker consists of the following materials:
Steel (partly phosphatized, galvanized and yellow chromated)
Copper (partly silver-plated)
Aluminum (partly silver-plated)
Plastics (polyamide, polyester, polycarbonate, ABS-PC mixture; partly fiberglass-reinforced)
Rubber materials
Ceramics
Lubricants
When delivered by Siemens, the circuit-breaker does not contain any hazardous substances in terms of the haz-
ardous substances regulations applicable to the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. For operation out-
side the Federal Republic of Germany, the applicable local laws and regulations must be complied with.
Packing materials, consisting of galvanized sheet steel, wood, cardboard, plastic foils (VCI foil, PE and PP) and
hoops (PET), should also be recycled after correct sorting or should be passed on for disposal.
Contact your Siemens service center if you require further information.
