3.5.3 Floor fastening measurements

To install the switch panel, follow the

installation plan shown in Fig. 11. Use all

fastening holes shown (dimension 28x14 mm) to ensure the switchgear is

securely fastened.

In general a minimum distance of

100 mm is to be maintained between the

rear wall of the panel and the building wall.

When determining the space to

the building wall at the rear, note that the depths of the individual

EA panel types vary.

A flat, level floor is a required for the

stress-free installation of the switch

panel. Pay attention to the information in DIN 43661. In particular the tolerance on

the evenness (maximum 1 mm over a

measured length of 1 m) and the tolerance on the straightness (maximum

1 mm per metre and maximum 2 mm

over the entire length of the foundation rail) are to be observed.

We recommend the usage of a

foundation frame let into the floor of the switchgear room or a raised floor for the

installation of the switch panels.

To fasten the switch panel to a raised

floor, we recommend the following

fastening material:

– Hexagon screw M10

(minimum M8, strength class 5.6) DIN EN ISO 4017

– Washers DIN EN ISO 7093 (switch

panel side)– Washers DIN EN ISO 7089/7090

(raised floor side) or tapered

washers for fastening to U-sections– Spring lock ring DIN 127 / DIN 128

– Hexagon nut DIN EN ISO 4032

In the case of installation on concrete,

only the fastening material in the items

supplied is to be used (Fig. 12):

– Impex plug M10 (4 pieces)

– Screw DIN 933-M10x80 (4 pieces)– Washer DIN 125-A10.5 (4 pieces)

– Spring lock ring DIN 128-B10

3.6 Removing the lifting eyes

After moving the switch panel to the

place of installation, remove the lifting

eyes:

Remove anchoring nuts (AF 24)

in the interior of the switch panel (behind the back plate of the low voltage

compartment) and remove lifting eyes

(Fig. 13).

Store the lifting eyes and the

related nuts in a suitable place for subsequent transport of the switch

panel.

To ensure secure seating of the screws on renewed installation of

the lifting eyes, tighten the nuts to

a torque of 210 Nm.

If further switch panels are

installed in a group, the assembly

instructions "Panel installation for air-insulated, metal-clad

switchgear Type EA", article

no. 12262171 are also to be followed.

3.7 Fitting the bus bars

The bus bars are assembled as per the

assembly instructions "Panel installation

for air-insulated, metal-clad switchgear Type EA", article no. 12262171.

Fit the bus bars before the

pressure relief device, as the bus

bars are easy to reach via the opening in the top of the panel.

Fig. 13

As an option, the circuit-breaker

can be removed from the panel using an auxiliary carriage. It is

then easy to fit the bus bars from

the front.

4 Technical description

4.1 EA circuit-breaker panel

The EA circuit-breaker panel is a quality

product manufactured to the

requirements of DIN ISO 9001. It has the following features:

– Metal-enclosed

– Low maintenance

– Type-tested

– Can be connected to groups on both sides

– High availability.

4.2 Enclosure

The enclosure comprises a strong, stiff,

riveted sheet-metal frame construction.

A sheet-steel door with pressure-proof

torsion rod closure forms the front of the panel. An inspection window in the panel

door makes it possible to check the

switchgear fitted and its connected position.

A partitioning panel wall is fitted between two neighbouring switch panels. The

partitioning panel wall is equipped with

bushings for busbars and sectionaliser bars if necessary (Fig. 24).

As the circuit-breaker panel is deeper

than the other EA panels to be connected in a group, the protruding part

of the circuit-breaker panel is equipped

with an adapter cassette.

To terminate switchgear to the side, the

end panels are secured with a plastic end wall and a sheet-steel end cassette

(Fig. 25).

Prior to commissioning the

switchgear, assemble the switch panels as per the assembly

instructions "Panel installation for

air-insulated, metal-clad switchgear Type EA", article no.

12262171.

4.3 Termination of the panel at the

top

As standard, the pressure relief in the

event of an arc-fault is upwards via a pressure relief flap (Fig. 26) that is

hinged at the front and directs the

pressure to the rear.The pressure relief flap is integrated into

the panel's arc-deflecting shield and is

fitted to the panel's frame as per chapter 3.8.1.

On end panels, the pressure relief flap is

equipped with an arrester (see Fig. 2 on Page 6) to direct the gas produced in the

event of an arc-fault to the middle of the

switchgear.

The deflecting shields with

pressure relief flaps differ

depending on the positioning of the panel (middle or left or right

end panel). For this reason

ensure the deflecting shields for the different panels are not mixed

up during installation.

As an option, the circuit-breaker panel

can be equipped with a bottom plate. If

the panel bottom remains open, the pressure is relieved both upwards via the

pressure relief flap and downwards into

the raised floor.To reduce the pressure in the switchgear

room in the event of an arc-fault, switch

panels with a closed panel bottom can be equipped with an arc-fault absorber

(Fig. 27).

For safety each switch panel is equipped

with an arc-fault deflecting shield

(Fig. 26 and Fig. 27).

The arc-fault deflecting shield is

assembled to switch panels with arc-fault absorbers as per the assembly

instructions "Panel installation for air-

insulated, metal-enclosed switchgear Type EA", article no. 12262171.

Fig. 26

Fig. 27

On end panels it is necessary to

fit additional arc-fault deflecting

shields.For more detailed information,

refer to the assembly instructions

"Panel installation for air-insulated, metal-clad switchgear

Type EA", article no. 12262171.

4.4 Current transformers and

voltage transformers

As an option, current/voltage

transformers in accordance with DIN 42600 part 8 and 9 (narrow design)

can be installed in panels of type

EA…LS-/LSG-… .As standard, the current transformers

are installed on the back plate, the

voltage transformers are fitted in the base in front of the cable terminations or

sectionaliser bars.

4.5 Busbars / Sectionaliser

busbars

The busbars are strapped from panel to

panel. They consist of round copper (Ø 16 mm), are of partially insulated

design, and are marked with the labels

L1, L2, L3.

The bus bars are assembled as per the assembly instructions

"Panel installation for air-

insulated, metal-clad switchgear Type EA", article no. 12262171.

4.6 Cable fixing iron

The cable fixing iron comprises a galvanised folded sheet-metal part. It is

continuously adjustable for depth such

that all common cable terminations can be used and the cables can be fastened

using cable clamps (available as an

option).

The cable fixing iron is also connected to

the switch panel plinth using an earth cable (see Fig. 28).

The cable screens on the power cable are connected to the cable fixing irons

using cable lugs.

On EA20 panels the top of the cable fixing iron is inclined to the rear, the

holes for the connection of the cable

screens are on the front of the cable fixing iron.

4.7 Vacuum circuit-breaker type

NVL2E with compact drawer

unit KE

A vacuum circuit-breaker of type NVL2E with compact drawer unit KE is used in

the circuit-breaker panel.

Using the drawer unit it is possible to move the circuit-breaker to the two

positions "Test" (disconnected position)

and "Operation" (connected position). As an option, the panel is available with

limit switches that output the position of

the circuit-breaker for the indicator in the relay box or for remote maintenance.

The vacuum circuit-breaker can be

removed from the switch panel complete with the drawer unit using an auxiliary

carriage, see operating instructions

„Auxiliary carriage for air-insulated, metal-clad switchgear Type EA“, article

no. 12264549.

4.11 Insulating plate

An insulating plate is used in the circuit-

breaker panel to secure the operating

range for the busbar.

The insulating plate provides

protection against direct

contact with the live assembly

parts in the area of the busbar

line. The insulating plate must

be fitted prior to working in the

switch panel.

To insert the insulating plate in the

switch panel:

Switch off circuit-breaker as per

chapter 5.7.4; check outgoing

cable is electrically isolated as per chapter 6.2.

Once electrically isolated, move circuit-breaker to the

disconnected position, see chapter

5.6.2.

Open the cover for the low voltage

compartment, see chapter 5.4.

Fit the insulating plate to the

protruding lug under the slot for the plate and push in to the stop as

shown in Fig. 33 using both hands.

Pay attention to sticker on the

insulating plate.

Only take hold of the insulating

plate in the area in front of the

black dotted line.

Close cover for low voltage

compartment and lock using

fastener key.

To remove the insulating plate, proceed in the reverse order of

mounting steps 1 to 5 as

appropriate.

4.13 Bottom plate (optional)

All EA circuit-breaker panels can be

equipped with a bottom plate. The

bottom plates are bolted at the side to the switch panel's frame.

Openings are provided for the cable bushings in which rubber grommets are

fitted to protect the cables.

To simplify cable installation, the bottom plates are split in the area of the cable

bushings.

On switch panels with bottom plates, the

pressure relief is only upwards via the

pressure relief flap or arc-fault absorber.

On sectionaliser circuit-breaker

panels, a one-piece bottom plate

is used instead of the split bottom plate.

The bottom plate is already fitted

on delivery. To connect the power cable, the front bottom

plates must be temporarily

removed, see chapter 3.12.

4.14.2 Integrated voltage detecting

system (System WEGA,

Company Horstmann, Fig. 38)

General

The integrated voltage detecting system

WEGA complies with the requirements

for voltage detection systems of the VDE 0682-415 (IEC 61243-5).

It is a three-phase system, with which

the following conditions of a medium voltage network are indicated:

– Voltage present:arrow indication per phase

– Voltage present and requirements of maintenance test fulfilled:

additional dot per phase

– Voltage not present:

no indication

– Fault in the system / Zero voltage:

indication of flashing screw-wrench

per phase (only WEGA 2.2)

Fig. 38

Design

The integrated voltage detecting system

is located in a built-in housing, adapted

for a control panel cutting of 92 x 45 mm. Arranged on the front panel are the LCD,

the display test button and the three-

phase LRM-interface. As protection against dust and corrosion, the jacks are

provided with a captive plug. The

connections for measuring signals and auxiliary voltage are located on the rear

side.

The status of voltage is indicated on the

LC-Display. The various symbols are

shown in red. A display test can be carried out by means of a display test

button on the front panel; all symbols will

be shown temporary.

No auxiliary energy is needed for

indicating the arrow and dot symbols on the LCD, which is supplied by the

measuring signal. These indications are

also active in case of a loss of the auxiliary voltage. The additional

functions (relay triggering, illumination of

indication and active zero indication) require auxiliary energy.

5 Operation

5.1 Switching types

In principle the circuit-breaker can be

operated in two ways:

– Mechanically

– Electrically (optional).

In the normal case, the circuit-breaker is

operated mechanically. Electrical operation is also possible.

Electrical circuit-breaker actuation

The circuit-breaker is actuated electrically using the control and

indication element in the low voltage

compartment on the EA circuit-breaker panel.

As the EA circuit-breaker panel can be

fitted with different control and indication elements to suit specific customer

needs, the steps necessary to switch the

switch panel may vary. Please refer to the project

documentation for information on the

steps necessary to switch the circuit-breaker panel.

Mechanical circuit-breaker actuation

Mechanical actuation of the circuit-breaker is performed using the controls

on the front of the switch panel, see

Fig. 1.

The switches are only allowed

to be actuated with the door

closed.

For details on the layout of the

switch drive and the mechanical processes for switching on and

off the circuit-breaker, see

operating instructions "Vacuum circuit-breaker Type NVL", article

no. 12256860.

Fig. 40

5.2 Switching accessories

To switch the EA panel mechanically,

the following accessories are required

(Fig. 40):

1. Switching lever for the earthing switch (available as

an option in red paint finish)

2. Hand crank for tensioning the

spring accumulator for the

circuit-breaker as well as for unlocking and moving the

drawer unit

3. Fastener key

Never leave switching levers in

the actuating shafts/openings.

5.3 State of the switch panel as

delivered

The switch panels are generally delivered as single panels completely

assembled. The drawer units are

delivered separately.

On delivery, the EA switch panel is in the

following state:

� Doors (fastener) closed

� Earthing switch activated.

On delivery, the circuit-breaker is in the

following state:

� Circuit-breaker switched off

� Spring accumulator released� Circuit-breaker in disconnected

position.

We recommend to insert of the withdrawable unit into the

switchgear panel using the EA-

auxiliary carriage. The EA-auxiliary carriage is not included

in standard delivery - it can be

ordered seperately. The insertion of the withdrawable

unit is discripted in operating

instructions „Auxiliary carriage for air-insulated, metal-clad

switchgear Type EA“, article no.

5.5 Earthing the switch panel

5.5.1 Actuating the earthing switch

The switches are only allowed

to be actuated with the door

closed.

Prior to switching on the earthing switch, the crank must be

removed from the travel spindle

for the circuit-breaker drawer unit. Otherwise the interlock

between the earthing switch and

the circuit-breaker drawer unit may be damaged.

The earthing switch can only be

actuated if the circuit-breaker is switched off and is in the

disconnected position.

This interlock is not visible! Never actuate with excessive force.

On panels with lockable

transparent shroud, the

information on the locking features for the door and the

drives given in chapter 4.12 is

also to be followed.

5.5.2 Earthing with earthing and

short-circuiting device

Depending on customer requirements,

the EA-circuit-breaker panel is equipped with ball pins as fixed phase points. Both

studs and earthing ball pins can be used

in the switch panel as fixed earthing points; these are fitted at the bottom on

one of the two side cable ducts.

The position of the earthing ball

pins is only shown in Fig. 45 as an example, the actual mounting

position may vary as a function of

the equipment fitted to the switch panel and customer

requirements.

Using the fixed phase points and the

fixed earthing point for the switch panel it

is possible to earth using an earthing and short-circuiting device (Fig. 45).

The diameter of the head of the earthing ball pin is 20 mm or 25 mm (optional).

We recommend using a Cu 150

mm² earthing lead and Cu 150

mm² phase lead. Ball clips for ball pins are to be

used as the terminals for the

phase and earthing points. As an option the earthing terminal is

designed as a stud M12 or M16.

Fig. 45

Earthing and short-circuiting devices as well as fixed phase and earthing points

must be rated for the short-circuit current

and the possible duration of the short-circuit on site.

The fixed ball points used in the switch panel, diameter 20 mm and 25 mm, are

designed for short-circuit currents

29.6 kA, 1 s as per DIN VDE 0683 and DIN 48088. Correct usage as a function

of the possible short-circuit current in the

location the switchgear is used is to be ensured by the operating organisation.

During earthing and short-

circuiting,

the standards in VDE 0105

part 100 and VDE 0683

part 100 are to be followed.

The earthing ball pin must be free of dirt and grease.

Attach the ball clip (or butterfly nut) for the earthing lead to the

fixed earthing terminal on the switch

panel and tighten firmly.

Short-circuit phases.

Attach the (earthing) ball clip for the related phase lead to the related

fixed phase point using an operating rod

5.7 Switching the circuit-breaker

panel

To switch the circuit-breaker panel, the

spring accumulator must be tensioned.The spring accumulator is either

tensioned by hand (see chapter 5.7.1) or

automatically if the circuit-breaker is equipped with a motor drive (optional)

(see chapter 5.7.2).

5.7.1 Tensioning the spring

accumulator by hand

If the spring accumulator indicator for the

circuit-breaker indicates 'UNTENSIONED' (see Fig. 50), the

spring accumulator must be tensioned

prior to switching.

To release the opening for the

manual winding up, push the slide upwards.

Insert hand crank in the opening and connect to the tensioning

coupling.

For design reasons, there is no

guide for the crank to the circuit-breaker.

If the circuit-breaker is in the

connected position, the crank must be inserted until only

approx. 5 cm of the shaft is left

protruding.

Slowly turn crank clockwise until

the shaft audibly engages (approx. 4.5 turns).

The spring accumulator indicator jumps

to 'TENSIONED' (Fig. 50).

Remove hand crank.

Fig. 50

5.7.2 Tensioning the spring

accumulator with optional

motor drive

On circuit-breakers with motor drive, the spring accumulator is automatically pre-

tensioned by the motor when the supply

voltage is present. The spring accumulator indicator jumps to

'TENSIONED' at the end of the

tensioning process (Fig. 50).

On the failure of the supply voltage, the spring accumulator

can be tensioned manually using

the crank (see chapter 5.7.1). The hand crank coupling is

designed such that if the motor

power supply becomes available again, the tensioning crank is de-

coupled.

On circuit-breakers that are

suitable for high speed reclosing,

the spring accumulator (closing spring) is re-tensioned again

immediately after switching. At

the end of the tensioning process, the drive energy is

available for the high speed

reclosing switching sequence OFF-ON-OFF.

5.7.3 Switching on the circuit-

breaker

The switches are only allowed

to be actuated with the door

closed.

In the disconnected position, the

circuit-breaker can be simply

switched as a test, in this position no interlocks from other

assemblies are active.

To switch on the circuit-breaker in the

connected position:

First move circuit-breaker to the

connected position, if necessary

(see chapter 5.6.1). Continue with work step 5.

It is only possible to move the

circuit-breaker if the circuit-breaker and the earthing switch

are switched off and the switch

panel door is closed.

If the circuit-breaker is already in the

connected position:

Close switch panel door, if

necessary (see chapter 5.4).

If the spring accumulator indicator

indicates 'UNTENSIONED',

tension spring accumulator (see chapter 5.7.1).

If a motor drive is fitted and the

supply voltage is available, the spring accumulator is

automatically tensioned.

Fig. 51

Switch on circuit-breaker. For this purpose, actuate the ON ("I")

push-button on the switch panel door

(Fig. 51). The spring accumulator indicator jumps

to 'UNTENSIONED', the position

indicator changes from OFF ("0") to ON ("I").

On circuit-breakers with motor

drive that are suitable for high

speed reclosing, the spring accumulator is re-tensioned

again immediately after switching

on.

.

As an option, in addition to

switching using the ON ("I") push-

button, the circuit-breaker can also be switched using the

control panel in the cover on the

low voltage compartment or remote tripping.

Details on the electrical control of

the circuit-breaker are given on the specific diagrams for the

order.

5.7.4 Switching off the circuit-

breaker

The spring accumulator indicator only indicates whether the

closing spring is tensioned. Even

if the spring accumulator indicator indicates

'UNTENSIONED', there is still

enough energy for switching off after switching on.

Switch off circuit-breaker.For this purpose, actuate the OFF

("0") push-button on the switch panel

door (Fig. 52). The position indicator changes from ON

("I") to OFF ("0").

As an alternative to switching

using OFF ("0") push-button, the

circuit-breaker can also be switched off using the control

panel in the cover on the low

voltage compartment or remote tripping.

Details on the electrical control of

the circuit-breaker are given on the specific diagrams for the

order.

The circuit-breaker can be moved from

the connected position to the

disconnected position if required (see chapter 5.6.2) and the earthing switch

switched on.

Prior to switching on the

earthing switch, the crank

must be removed from the

travel spindle. Otherwise the

interlock between the earthing

switch and the circuit-breaker

drawer unit may be damaged.

The sections on commissioning in the operating instructions

provided on the compact drawer

unit and the vacuum circuit-breaker used are also to be

followed.

In the case of the installation of

the EA- switch panel as an end

panel, ensure the end cassette is correctly fitted.

6.2 Checking for electrical

isolation

Before disconnecting a switch

panel in operation from the mains and prior to connecting a switch

panel to the mains, the panel

must be checked for electrical isolation.

During the test for electrical

isolation, all three phases (L1, L2, L3) are always to be checked!

Should the test for electrical isolation be performed without a

capacitive voltage indicator, the

requirements in accordance with DIN EN 50110-1 / VDE 0105-1

chapter 6 as well BGV A3 are to

be strictly observed.

Test with capacitive voltage

indicating system (see chapter 4.14)

The test is performed using the following

procedure:

– With the switch panel switched on

the capacitive voltage indicating system must indicate voltage for all

three phases.

– Switch off circuit-breaker.

– With the switch panel switched off the capacitive voltage indicating

system must not indicate voltage for

all three phases.

– Move circuit-breaker to the

disconnected position.

In the case of incoming switch

panels, reverse voltage from the supply network may be present.

– If no voltage is present, switch on earthing switch as necessary.

6.3 Phase comparison

A phase comparison between two

outgoers can be performed at the

insulated test sockets of the appropriate capacitive voltage indicating system

(see chapter 4.14).

For the phase comparator, e. g., the

following can be used:

– Make CATU, type MX 404

– Make HORSTMANN, type ORION 3.0 with additional part

– Make Pfisterer, type EPV

– Make ELSIC, type HO-PV.

The correct function of the phase comparison device must be

checked in compliance with the

instructions of the manufacturer.

7 Maintenance

7.1 General

Maintenance, repair work and

subsequent modifications must

only be performed by appropriately qualified personnel

taking into account the operating

instructions, health and safety regulations and the regulations

from the german official labour

association.

Maintenance is used to ensure

continuing trouble-free operation and the longest possible service life of the

switchgear and the equipment

integrated. It covers the following, closely related areas in accordance with

DIN 31051 and IEC 1208:

• Inspection:

Determination of the actual state

• Maintenance:

Measures to preserve the nominal

state (ensuring trouble-free function)

• Repair:

Measures to restore the nominal state.

The circuit-breaker panel is maintenance-free.

The vacuum circuit-breakers feature a

simple and robust design.They have a long service life. Their

drives are low maintenance and the

vacuum contact chambers are maintenance-free for their entire service

life.

Even frequent switching of operating and short-circuit currents will not

degrade the vacuum.

The maintenance intervals for the mechanical assembly on the vacuum

circuit-breaker are defined by the

ambient conditions, operating frequency and number of short circuit breaks.

7.2 Inspection and maintenance

7.2.1 Inspection

Prior to inspection, electrically isolate and secure the operating

range in accordance with the

"safety rules" specified by DIN VDE/IEC.

The switchgear should be inspected, depending on operating conditions and

local conditions, as per BGV A3 and

TRBS approximately every four years, however at the latest after 10,000

operations of the vacuum circuit-

breaker.

In exceptional operating conditions

(these also include harsh climatic conditions) and/or heavy pollution

(including heavy soiling and aggressive

air), inspection may be required at significantly shorter intervals.

Inspection includes:

– Check switchgear and equipment for

anything unusual, soiling and the result of environmental effects.

– Perform several no-load switching operations, this instruction applies

particularly to circuit-breakers that

are switched infrequently in operation.

– Check function of the switchgear, e. g. its actuating device, interlocking

devices, trigger devices and

signalling devices and any other devices.

– Shut down motor winding (if fitted). On the circuit-breaker, actuate the

ON and OFF push-button as follows:

OFF-ON-OFF.

– Inspect the condition of the

lubrication at the bearing points, sliding surfaces, etc.

– Determine the subsequent measures (maintenance, service) taking into

account the maximum number of

operations allowed.

7.2.2 Maintenance

Only the Ormazabal customer service or specialist personnel

demonstrably trained by

Ormazabal are allowed to carry out maintenance work.

Maintenance information and maintenance instructions in the

instructions for the switching

device used in the switch panel are also to be followed.

Prior to inspection, electrically isolate and secure the operating

range in accordance with the

"safety rules" specified by DIN VDE/IEC.

Maintenance is to be performed:

• 10 years after commissioning

• 20 years after commissioning

• If found necessary during the inspection.

For details on the maintenance of

the vacuum circuit-breaker, please see the operating

instructions supplied "Vacuum

circuit-breaker Type NVL", article no. 12256860.

In case of problems during the

maintenance work and in case of

malfunctions, please contact the plant where the unit was

manufactured.

The following information is required on

contacting the manufacturer:

– Type

– Serial number

– Year of manufacture

7.3 Cleaning

Even though the circuit-breaker panel

can be regarded as maintenance-free in

normal conditions indoors, in case of heavy soiling and aggressive air,

cleaning is to be recommended in

conjunction with the maintenance.

Before starting cleaning work all

the switchgear must be electrically isolated.

Electrical isolation is to be

ensured by a voltage test on all switch panels.

To avoid unintended operation, the supply voltage is to be shut

down.

Cleaning is performed using the

following procedure:

– Manually switch on and off circuit-

breaker (spring accumulator tension

is released, position indicator is in the OFF ("0") position.

– Move circuit-breaker to test/disconnected position.

– Switch on earthing switch

– Open switch panel door.

Wipe all parts of the switch panel using a

dry, fluff-free cloth. Insulating surfaces are to be cleaned particularly carefully to

ensure the withstand voltage is

adequate. Clean off strongly adhering soiling, e. g.

greasy soiling, using a fluff-free cloth

soaked in a household cleaning agent, then wipe off with clean water and dry.

It is not allowed to use aggressive

solvents!

Only place switch panel back in

operation in completely dry state.

7.4 Return of switch panels

The switch panels are designed to

operate for at least 30 years.

Due to the high reliability of the switch

panels, arc-faults are almost completely

excluded.

The Business Unit Medium Voltage has

been certified since 1993 in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 for its quality

system and since 1998 according to DIN

EN ISO 14001 for its environment management system.

As a competent partner, Ormazabal offers to return of your switch panel once

it is no longer in use. The costs involved

depend on the legal requirements applicable at the time of return.

All materials from this switchgear should

be sent for recycling.
