SWITCHGEAR OPERATING MANUAL
DECEMBER 2015
This High Voltage Switchgear Operating manual is an operating guide for Authorised
persons working for the VESI Network Operator (AusNet Services, CitiPower, Jemena,
Powercor and United Energy).
As an operating guide, it does not include all of the technical considerations, system
protection requirements, and operational checks that may be required for the safe
operation of the networks. In the event that a user of this manual considers the provisions
do not cover, are uncertain, ambiguous or in need of interpretation, the user should seek
immediate clarification from the Network Operator responsible person or their Network
Control Centre.
The Manual shall be read and applied in conjunction with The Green Book (Electrical
Safety Rules for the VESI Distribution Networks) and the Network Operators HV
Operations procedure manuals.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
Persons operating switchgear equipment on the VESI Networks shall:
1. Be appropriately trained as a HV Operator to the VESI training requirements
2. Be appropriately authorised by a VESI Network as a HV Operator
3. Wear and use approved protective apparel, tools, ensuring operating equipment is in
good working order and within test date.
4. Ensure the correct tagging and reporting of Defective Electrical Apparatus.
5. When access or switching is required on any VESI electrical network, for any
purpose, the relevant Network Control Centre must be advised prior to the
commencement and completion of any works/switching.
Feedback
For any improvements/changes/suggestions on the content of this manual, please advise
your Network Operator responsible person. The use of the “Contact Us – Network
Access” www.vesi.com.au/index.php/contact-us link on the VESI website can be utilised

flashing amber LEDs. Refer to the Fault Indication Chart
below.
Note: If, under normal conditions, the fault indicator does not flash burst either one or two amber lights

HORSTMANN ROTOR TYPE FAULT INDICATOR

Fault Indication
1 Fault current indication is shown by the movement of the

fault indicator rotor from the black (normal) position to the
red (fault) position as shown.
Resetting the Fault Indicator Manually
1 Using a HV operating stick rotate the fault indicator rotor

back to the black (normal) position as shown.

Fault Indication

1 If a fault is detected on the line the Linetroll will emit a xenon
gas flash every five (5) seconds. This flash can be seen from
a distance of app. 200 - 300 meters in daylight and app 2 - 3
kms at night.
2 A secondary, high intensity LED indication (easily monitored

from the ground directly under the unit) can be programmed 1
into the unit independent of the xenon flash. The operation of
this LED can can programmed into different modes- transient
or normal indication.
2
Resetting the Fault Indication
1 The fault indicator can be reset in three (3) different ways.
A. AUTOMATIC - By preset internal timer.

B. AUTOMATIC - When the line is re-energised.
C. MANUALLY - Using the Test/Reset
magnet tool (TBX-10).
2 The automatic presets can be programmed into the Linteroll
by resetting of internal DIP switches.
Note: If the xenon flash is reset by the internal preset timer before the
line is re-energised the LED will continue to flash until the line is re-
energised. This prolonged indication lasts a maximum of twenty four
(24) hours to enable fault tracing after a fault occurence if the line is
still de-energised during this time.

LINETROLL 111K/110E FAULT INDICATOR (CONTINUED)
Fault Indicators
Resetting the Fault Indicator - Manually
1 Fix the test/reset tool (TBX-10) on a stick.
2 Guide the tool between the arms of the Linetroll mounting

bracket, as shown by the green arrow and the green shaded
position indicator, until it stops in the upper position. The
magnet on the tool will then be level with the yellow spot on
the indicator label marked ‘RESET’.
3 Keep the tool in this position until the red LED stops flashing
(within 3 sec) then remove very slowly.
Note: After resetting the Lintroll remove the reset tool very slowly to
avoid reactivating the fault indicator.
Testing the Fault Indicator – Manually
1 Ensure the internal DIP switch 8 is in the ‘OFF’ position and

the line is energised.
2 Fix the test/reset tool (TBX-10) on a stick.

3 Wave the test tool in front of the fault indicator lens as shown
by the red arrow and the red shaded position indicator. The
Linetroll will start flashing.
4 If programmed for voltage reset the Linetroll will reset after

15 -> 30 Seconds.
Note: Before manually testing the Linetroll ensure the internal DIP
switch 8 is in the ‘OFF’ position and the line is energised.

• The Easergy Flair fault indicator has a lithium Insulant: N/A
backup battery that will keep the display Voltage: N/A
active for up to 4 hours during a total power
interruption.

Fault Indication Normal Display
1 Normal display: The fault indicator LCD display will

automatically cycle between the relevant phase or
or and the respective phase load current - the
display figure multiplied by ten.
• The adjacent image shows phase with a load

current of 27 x 10 = 270 Amps.
Fault Indication – Fault Detected
1 If a phase fault is detected the LCD will display the relevant

phase or or and the red LED will flash once
every three (3) seconds
2 If a 3 phase fault is detected the LCD will display and

the red LED will flash twice every six (6) seconds.

Resetting the Fault Indicator
The fault indicator can be reset by:

seventy (70) seconds or greater or a time out (non-
configurable) of four (4) hours.
2 Manually – Press the T/R button once.

• If the Easergy Flite 110 SA fault indicator is Insulant: N/A
flashing to indicate a transient fault and a Voltage: 22 kV
permanent fault occurs the flashing duration
will change to indicate a permanent fault.
• The flashing duration is different for each
fault indication - transient or permanent. The
LED intensity remains the same for both fault
indications.
• The Easergy Flite 110 SA fault indicator
resets automatically when power is restored.

Fault Indication - Permanent
1 If a permanent fault is detected on the line the conical LED

indicator on the Easergy Flite 110 SA will flash once every
three {3) seconds.
Fault Indication - Transient
1 If a transient fault is detected on the line the conical LED

indicator on the Easergy Flite 110 SA will flash twice every
twelve (12) seconds.
