4.3 RELAY AND CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
A protection relay is installed in each vacuum circuit-breaker
module. The cables from the protection relay to the current
transformers are installed from the factory, and end up in the
cable compartment, ready for connection to the three current
transformers supplied.
Before installation:
− − Check that the three current transformers have been
delivered and that they are all of the same type.
− − Check that the current transformers are of the correct type,

5. OPERATION Application of the X-ray regulations
5.1 OPERATING CONDITIONS One of the physical properties of vacuum insulation is the
Normal ambient conditions possibility of X-ray emissions when the contact gap is open.
SafeRing / SafePlus is generally equipped for operation/ The specified type test performed by the Physikalisch-
service in normal indoor conditions in accordance with Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Brunswick demonstrates
IEC 62271-1. that the local dosage output of 1 µSv/h at a distance of 10 cm
from the touchable surface is not exceeded.
Special conditions
In accordance with IEC 62271-1, the manufacturer and end-
user must agree about special operating conditions which
deviate from operation under normal conditions.
Airfreight
Units / modules transported by airfreight are delivered with
reduced overpressure. For topping up, please see procedure
for topping up of SF6 gas.

5.2 OPERATION
All switches can be operated with the included operating
handle.
Internal mechanical interlocking between the switch discon-
nector/isolator and the associated earthing switches prevents
incorrect operation.
The isolator in the V-Module can only be opened after the cir-
cuit breaker is opened. Then the circuit breaker can be closed
for testing purpose.

SafeRing and SafePlus can be equipped with an external bus-
bar. See seperate instruction manual NOPOWSP 6006 GB.
6.8 ARC-SUPPRESSOR
An arc-suppressor can be fitted on all cable modules for Safe-
Ring and C, D, De and V-modules on SafePlus. They must be
ordered together with the unit and cannot be retrofitted.
The tripped of an arc-suppressor is indicated by means of a
electric contact in the SF6 tank, wired to the terminal strip
behind the top front panel. (This requires aux. voltage supply.)
7. MAINTENANCE
All components in the SF6 tank are maintenance-free for the
declared life expectancy of the product. The tank is made of
stainless steel.
If the panels substain any scratches or damage, these must
be repaired with paint to prevent corrosion.
