Handling
Handling using a sling
Use a 900 mm minimum width crosspiece between

rings.
Attach the four slings to the relevant lifting devices.
As soon as the cubicle is lifted, the pallet can be

removed.

Store the devices in their original packaging, placed

on dry ground or on a material insulating it from
moisture.
Prolonged storage After prolonged storage, thoroughly clean insulating parts before operation.

Installation and operation
recommendations
The switchgear’s resistance The necessity of correct implementation of connections

New cold retractable or slip-on technology offers ease of installation that favours
to ageing in an MV substation resistance over time.
Their design allows them to used in polluted environments with harsh climatic
depends on 3 main factors conditions.
Impact of the relative humidity factor

Installing a heating device is essential in climates with high relative humidity levels
and major temperature differences.
Ensure that draughts and / or thermal shocks are avoided in all cubicle
compartments in order to avoid the creation of dew points (sources of partial
discharges).
The equipment must be installed in conformity with the relevant IEC standard.
Outside of these normal usage conditions, we recommend contacting Schneider
Electric to determine the operations to be carried out as well as their frequency
according to the actual service conditions.
Ventilation control:
Grid size must be suited to the power dissipated in the substation.
These grids must be placed exclusively in the vicinity of the transformer, in order
to avoid air circulation on the MV switchboard.
Operation and maintenance After 6 to 12 month operations, we recommend you to check the busbars and MV
cable connection tightening.
It should be done with a calibrated torque spanner, adjust to lower torque compare
to values indicated in page 6.
If no problems are detected and if the busbars and cable connections haven’t been
modified, it will not necessary to do again this check. In case of dismantling,
the elastic washers must be change and replace by new ones supplied by
Schneider Electric.
It is strongly advised to periodically carry out (minimum every 2 years

approximately) a few operation cycles on operating devices.
Outside normal conditions of use (between -5°C and 40°C , absence of dust,
corrosive gas, etc.), it is recommended to examine with our Schneider Electric
services centre the steps to be taken, in order to ensure correct functioning of the
installation.
Our service centre is at your disposal at any time:

- to undergo an installation diagnostic,
- to offer you, if need be, suitable maintenance operations,
- to offer you maintenance contracts,
- to offer you adaptations.

Positioning on the cable basement
Note: the positioning can be done by rolling or lifting.
Insert the roller (A) under the cubicle by using a lever.
For cubicles equipped with a tunnel,

it must be installed before placing
the cubicle in position (see chapter
“Assembly tunnel”).
Place the crossing tools across the cable basement.
If the cable basement consists of one uninterrupted

opening on the floor, the use of special crossing tools
is required.
Place the crossing tools across the cable basement,

in the location where the cubicle is to be placed.
Move the cubicle by means of rollers and position

it in front of the crossing tools.
Then push the cubicle in position.
