Maintenance
1.1 General check

The check covers a visual inspection of the circuit-breaker without it having
to be dismantled. The visual inspection contents the following checks:
- check the SF6 filling with the circuit-breaker pressure gauge,
- contamination of insulating parts
- damage to the porcelain body
- number of operating cycles
1.2 Checking the SF6-gas filling
If the measured SF6 pressure lies below the filling curve by not more than
0.3 bar/0.03MPa/4.4 psig (permissible gas loss), refill with SF6.
If the measured value is more than 0.3 bar/0.03 MPa/ 4.4 psi below the
filling curve specified, a leak test must be carried out and the leak must be
repaired. Then the filling must be corrected.
Maintenance
1.3 Filling the breaker with SFs

The circuit-breaker may be filled only by or under the supervision of
qualified personnel and in accordance with the SF6 filling curve
Maintenance
1.4 Check and Checkout SF6 pressure gauge(integrated density monitor and
pressure gauge)
On-site calibration: first close the pressure gauge valve to segregate the
gauge from gas room of circuit breaker, then full the standard air pressure
across filling connection to checkout the Gas density monitor according to
stated process.
No on-site calibration: make calibration of the Gas density monitor
according to stated process.
Load and unload Gas density monitor as following process
Unload: close the pressure gauge valve --> Gas density monitor
Load: Gas density monitor ⼀> open the pressure gauge valve
Maintenance
To test the density monitor, close the

pressure gauge valve, The filling
connection is now connected directly with
the density monitor, such that (after
connection of the filling device W424) the
ope「ating points of the density monitor
(Section 3-0080 Technical Data ) can be
checked by regulating the SF6 pressure on
the pressure reducer.
Maintenance
1.5 Checks at drive mechanism

1.5.1 Auxiliary switch
The bearings of the auxiliary switch are maintenance-free. Check the linkage
for wear and damage (Fig. 11).
Press the spring lap of the AMP plug if the leads are to be disconnected
from the auxiliary switch. By pulling on the isolation shell of the AMP plug,
the AMP plug with isolation shell will be automatically released.
Maintenance
1.5.2 Visual inspection of the

spring drive mechanism
Visually inspect dampers for
closing and opening for any leaks.
Look out for yellowish oil traces
in the vicinity of the lower
damper fastener (Fig. 12).
If you find any yellowish oil traces
at the specified positions (fig. 12),
inform the Siemens
representative responsible and
ask for expert assistence.
Maintenance
1.5.3 Check trip coil and latching blocks

Check that the trip coil plate (bolts M6 X 40 with tightning torque of 8⼠1
Nm) and the latching blocks (bolts M 10 X 70 with tightning torque of 40⼠4
Nm) are firmly fixed (Fig. 13).
Maintenance
1.6 Electrical connections

Check the terminal connections for firm seating and the terminals for
damage.
1.7 Anti-condensation
Check the effectiveness of the anti-condensation heatng and the function of
the existing monitoring device if applicable.
1.8 Functional checks
1.8.1 Functional check, trip circuits
Check the tripping action of the circuit-breaker via all the existing tripping
paths.
1.8.2 Functional check reclosing lock-out
During the process of charging the closing spring, the effectiveness of the
reclosing lock-out must be checked by means of an electrical "Close"
command. The tripping coil must not trip
Maintenance
1.8.3 Functional check SF6

At a level below the operating pressure, check the signal and the
effectiveness of the function lock-out by means of electrical "Close" and
"Open" commands in all tripping paths. The breaker must not operate.
1.8.4 Functional check, anti-pumping feature
Breaker in "Open" state: (Closing spring charged)
- Give electrical "Close" command and keep button pressed in (maintained
command)
The circuit breaker must only open.
1.9 Check of motor control
Check whether after a closing operation the motor is activated by a limit
switch, and, whether after the charging process of the closing spring the
motor is deactivated via a limit switch.
Maintenance
1.10 Check SFs gas humidity

Before putting the breaker into operation, the humidity of the SF6-gas must
be checked. For this a commercially available dew point measuring
instrument with °C scale can be used. The maximum permissible dew point
temperatures at operating pressure corresponding to the permissible
humidity are stated below.
If the measured dew point temperature is over-10 °C/ +14 'F, the gas must
be desiccated by means of a SF6 service unit
