2.8 Technical data of electrical control and operating devices

The switchgear panels have been designed on principle so as to permit manual
operation.
The drive mechanisms of the individual switching devices can be equipped, de-
pending on the specific customer's model, with additional electrical control and
operating devices. These are defined in the switchgear-specific circuit diagram
(see switchgear documentation).
Component fitting options:
Blocking coil
The blocking coil prevents manual actuation of the earthing switch. If the
supply voltage has failed or is shut off, all blocking coils are in "blocked"
position.
Auxiliary switches
Auxiliary switches are always actuated directly by the truck or by the switch
shaft via an intermediate linkage. Their position always corresponds to that
of the main contacts. The switching functions have been set in the factory
according to the circuit diagram.
Micro switches
are used depending on the customized panel models.

11 Maintenance
11.1 Safety provisions

Maintenance and repair work may only be performed by specialist electricians
who have proved their experience with the PIX Compact series and the appli-
cable safety provisions.
Warning!
Comply also with the safety provisions in Chapter 1 on
page 8.
11.2 Maintenance and servicing specifications

PIX Compact series indoor switchgear units have been designed for normal
operating conditions in accordance with IEC 62271-1.
It is recommended to check the panels visually at regular intervals depending
on the strain they are subject to during operation and in accordance with the
national regulations.
Important:
In case of frequent condensation or air pollution (dust, smoke or
corrosive gases), the maintenance intervals must be adapted to
the actual conditions.
A visual inspection includes a complete check of the panels for contamination,

condensation and damage, to be performed by certified staff. If there are traces
of contamination or condensation, the panels must be cleaned in expert fashion
(see Chapter 11.3, page 63 and Chapter 11.4, page 63) and subsequently the
drives, interlocks and position indicators checked for proper functioning (see
Chapter 10 Operation as of page 48).
If damage is detected on the panels, these must be repaired or components be
replaced (see Chapter 11.5, page 63, and Chapter 11.6, page 63).
In case of ambiguities or irregularities, please contact the manufacturers Ser-
vice Center immediately.

11.3 Cleaning
Warning!
Risk of injury: the drives must not be disassembled for
service and maintenance work.
To ensure the specified insulating level, the insulating components must be

clean. On principle, cleanliness deserves utmost attention.
When deposited dirt is detected, the panels must be cleaned in an expert
fashion.
When cleaning, make sure that the lubrication in the drive mechanisms is not
removed. If the drive mechanisms are no longer sufficiently lubricated, new
lubrication must be applied.
Use a dry cleaning cloth to remove slight soiling:

Clean using a dry, lint-free cloth. Depending on the degree of soiling, replace
cloth as often as necessary.
Use cleaning agents for severe soiling:

Cleaning agent, 1 l can (see Chapter 12.1, page 66). The use of other cleaning
agents is not admissible.
Wear protective gloves
Use cleaning agent according to manufacturer's instructions
Soak the cloth thoroughly and wipe the insulating components. Keep dura-
tion of exposure as short as possible.
Expose the cleaned surface to the air for at least two hours.
11.4 Avoiding condensation

To ensure the specified insulating level, the switchgear panels especially their
insulating components must not be exposed to condensation.
Measures to take in case of condensation:

1. Should condensation be detected in or on the panels, clean the panels in
accordance with Chapter 11.3, page 63).
2. Installation or inspection of panel heating. It must provide a sufficient heat-
ing performance to prevent condensation on the panels.
3. Condensation can also be prevented by ensuring suitable ventilation and
heating of the station or by using de-humidification devices.
11.5 Corrosion protection

Drive mechanisms and covers have a long-term protection against corrosion.
Any damage to the paint, scratches and other damage must be repaired im-
mediately to avoid corrosion.
11.6 Replacement of components and panels

The drive mechanisms, current transformers and voltage transformers as well
as the testing and monitoring systems can be replaced if necessary. Also, entire
panels can be replaced.
Should you have any queries regarding replacement of components or panels,
please contact the manufacturer's Service Center.
The data on the nameplate are relevant for replacement of components or pan-
els or in case of any queries (see also Chapter 2.7, page 17).
