1. INTRODUCTION

BEWARE
While high voltage systems are in operation, certain elements of the system are live, others
may be moving, and other parts may reach high temperatures. This means that there are
electrical, mechanical and heat-related risks in the use of these systems.

In order to provide an acceptable level of protection for both people and property and taking
into account the applicable environmental recommendations, the manufacturers that form part
of SERCOBE develop and construct their products according to the principle of integrated
security, based on the following criteria:

• Eliminate dangers whenever possible.

• When this is technically or economically unfeasible, build effective protection devices into
the systems.

• Inform users of any remaining risks so as to help them understand the operating
procedures that prevent these risks and help them with the training of the operating
personnel that carry out these information, and the use of the correct personal protection
INDEX: equipment.

• Use recyclable materials according to the state of the art and within applicable technical
1. INTRODUCTION and economic limits and establish procedures for the processing of the equipment and

requirements established by the relevant bodies.
5. TORQUE SETTINGS
6. SETTING INTO SERVICE
As a result, when working on the system covered by this manual or in the vicinity thereof the
7. MAINTENANCE MANUAL
specifications of paragraph 11.2 of standard IEC-62271-1 must be taken into account. This
work can only be done by personnel who are suitably trained and supervised (in accordance
with the provisions of the EN50110-1 standard on safety in electrical installations and the
EN50110-2 standard which applies to all kinds of activity in, with or near an electrical
installation) and who are completely familiar with the instructions and warnings contained in
this manual and all others of a general nature that may be applicable under current legislation
on the prevention of risks, and all others that in the future may replace or modify them.

• The correct transport and handling of the equipment from the time it leaves the factory to
the place where it is to be installed.
• Any storage on the way must be carried out under conditions that do not alter or damage
the characteristics of the system as a whole or of its essential parts.
• The operating conditions must be compatible with the specifications of the system.
• The manoeuvres and operations carried out while using the equipment must be
performed in strict accordance with the instructions in the manual, and with a clear
understanding of the operating and safety principles that apply to it.
• Maintenance work must be carried out correctly, taking into account the real operating
and environmental conditions in the place where the system is installed.
• The disposal of the equipment once it has come to the end of its useful life must be
carried out according to the instructions in the manual and legislation in force at the time.

For this reason, the manufacturer will not be responsible for any direct or indirect damage
resulting from any breach of the guarantee or of the rules set out above under any jurisdiction,
including damage to people or assets, loss of profits, periods of idleness, costs of repair or
replacement of materials.

Place the joining clamp, fastening it tightly (Fig. 38). 4.3.3 Low-voltage cables from the switch-disconnector.

General considerations:

• The downward direction of these cables must be done on the side opposite that of
the earthing circuit, or with a minimum distance of 200 mm between them.

• The cables will go down from the PM6 attached to the post with flanges or similar
devices valid for outdoors, with an approximate distance between them of 1 metre,
avoiding that the weight of the cable hangs directly from the PM6·

C) CLOSED: the remote control is blocked. 4.3.5 Connection to the control box.
• The operating lever, positioned in the lower pipe at its lower part, operates the
three positions A), B), C) and remains set by one, two or three padlocks.
These tasks have to be performed prior to the connection of the PM6 to the line; therefore, there
is no voltage in these cables. Keep this situation during the entire connection of the cables. In
case of carrying out maintenance work, bear in mind that the supply cable is directly connected to
the secondary of the voltage transformer, thus it has alternate current. Be careful when handling
and follow the specific INFORMATION from the electric company for this kind of situations. Not
short circuiting the supply cables causes the destruction of the voltage transformer.
To connect the cables of the switch, follow the diagram supplied with each set of equipment.
The feeding hose is connected on the circuit-breaker input of the control cabinet.
Always connect the feeding hose to the circuit-breaker of the control box in order to avoid
accidental short circuits of these cables, which in operation cause the destruction of the voltage
transformer. Bear in mind the colour code according to the diagram supplied with this cable, since
one of the cables is joined to the earth in the transformer itself.
The battery must be connected to the control box when the equipment has voltage, in order to
avoid its unnecessary discharge.
