2.2 PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT GRID abcd
2.2 PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT

All the items of the equipment are shipped in cases or crates, which must be
handled with care in accordance with the standard symbols on the sides of the
containers.
2.2.1 TYPES OF PACKAGES

Shipment packaging is designed to fully protect the shipping units against
mechanical damage and against weather during transportation, unloading and
handling on site. It ensures that the product is not damaged and that all quality
features, that are guaranteed and tested in all stages of production, remain
unaltered.
2.2.1.1 Shipping cases

The shipping cases are strong, plywood-covered wooden crates, covered on the
sides and reinforced internally with wooden boards. Special-shape wood-pieces
are fastened to the bottom of the crates, and if needed to the sides too, in order to
hold the content fast; if needed the shaped pieces are lined with foam to damp
shocks to the content.
If needed, the content is wrapped in plastic film or contained in special boxes
placed on the bottom of the crate.
In order to ensure adequate ventilation, the shipping cases are equipped with
weatherproof openings.
2.2.2 SHIPPING UNITS

The subdivision of each switchgear into shipping units is devised to speed up the
installation on site and simplify the handling of the shipping units.
2.3 RECEIPT AND STORAGE

2.3.1 RECEIPT
As soon as you receive the crates, inspect the content of each package and make
sure that nothing is damaged and that all the items written in the packing list are
there.
Damaged items or discrepancies between content and packing list must be
reported to ALSTOM immediately.
If after the inspection the cases should be relocated or stored for a long time,
restore them to the original conditions.
When handling or unloading the cases, take care not to damage the equipment.
2.3.2 STORAGE
Place the packages in a dry and sheltered location, or if outdoor, make sure the
area is drained well.
© - ALSTOM 15 / 96
2.4 UNPACKING AND LIFTING GRID abcd
For outdoor storage, the place should be dry and ventilated and the crates should
be raised at least 10 cm from the ground with wooden beams.
Important Concerning the storage of the drive, consult the specific

instruction manual for the suitable procedure.
2.4 UNPACKING AND LIFTING

Unpack the materials with care in order to avoid loosing or damaging any items.
Handle the complete units taking care especially of porcelain insulators even if
already assembled.
Open the shipping cases on site just before installation, in a position where the
hoisting equipment may hook the materials with ease.
Sling the material (lower parts, insulators, live parts) with an
Important adequate lifting apparatus as indicated in the following
sections of this instruction manual.
Do not remove the safety band (5.1.3 Fig. 5.1) that ties up the two
arms (5.1.1 and 5.1.2 Fig. 5.1) of the live mobile part until the
disconnector has been completely assembled.
Caution
Removing the tie is very dangerous, since the balancing spring,
without the reaction exerted by the weight of the parts, would
violently open the two arms.

SECTION 5 – LIVE PART
READ CAREFULLY THE CONTENT OF THIS SECTION BEFORE

Important BEGINNING ANY OPERATION ON THE DISCONNECTOR OR ON
ANY OF ITS PARTS AND COMPONENTS.

This section contains important information which shall be known before beginning
any operation on the live part of the disconnector.
For example, it indicates the main technical data about the live part, manufacturer
warnings, and safety requirements to be observed for a correct and safe
assembling procedure.
This section also contains the instructions about the assembling of the equipment
and gives the exact sequence of steps required for a correct installation.
5.1 GENERAL
The disconnectors of the series SPO are of semi-pantograph type with horizontal
movement.
The mobile arm is made of two articulated semi-arms. The semi-arms are made of
very strong and highly conductive aluminum tubes. A balancing unit is located
inside the lower semi-arm. The joints of the mobile arm are made with pivots
revolving on bearings.
The main female fixed contacts are made of pairs of copper blades, each pressed
by stainless steel springs, that ensure adequate and constant pressure on the
male contacts.
The male mobile contact is made of a shaped copper plate fastened firmly to the
end of the mobile arm.
The contacts couple with a sliding movement and the contact making is self-
cleaning and self-tightening; this ensures the best behavior in the case of stress
due to short circuit currents.
The lower support bases are in hot-galvanized steel, resistant to the heaviest
stress (stress on line terminals, stress due to short-time currents, etc.).

SWITCHES
With reference to fig. 5.1, do not remove the safety band 5.1.3
that ties up the two arms 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of the live mobile part
until the disconnector has been completely assembled.
Caution
Removing the tie is very dangerous, since the balancing spring,
without the reaction exerted by the weight of the parts, would
violently open the two arms.
To protect the flexible conductors 5.1.11 during transportation, on the front of the
bearing frame 5.1.5 a red-colored metal protection bracket 5.1.4A is applied.
Lift the live part of each pole to man's height as shown in figure A and remove the
protection bracket 5.1.4A after loosening the bolts 5.1.4B.
Check that the holes on the upper flange of the rotary insulator Fig. 3.13 are at 45°
in relation to the longitudinal centerline of the base, so that they match the holes
on the fastening flange 5.1.7 of the live part.

Position then the flange 5.1.7 on the head of the rotary insulator while laying down
at the same time the flanged area 5.1.13 of the bearing frame 5.1.5 onto the
upper flange of the support insulator.
Fasten temporarily the bearing frame 5.1.5 of the live mobile part to the support
insulator with the screws, nuts and spring washers of the fastening.
Fasten the flange 5.1.7 to the rotary insulator with the threaded bars, nuts and
spring washers of the fastening kit.
Align the live part to the base under it by positioning the bolts on the holes.
Check with a spirit level that the bearing frame 5.1.5 is level in the two
perpendicular directions.
If needed shim with the C-washers of the fastening kit the bolts that join the
flanged area 5.1.13 of the bearing frame 5.1.5 to the head of the support
insulator.
Fasten the bearing frame 5.1.5 to the support insulator and the flange 5.1.7 to the

5.3 ADJUSTMENT OF THE DISCONNECTORS SPO / SPOT / SPO2T

In the following sections you can find the procedures for the adjustment and fine
tuning of the equipment.
5.3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF THE MOBILE LIVE PART AND OF THE FIXED CONTACT
As shown in figure 5.7 (C), make with a felt-tip pen on each front
arm 5.1.2 Fig. 5.1 a reference mark at a distance "d" of 165 mm
Important (tolerance -0 +10 mm) from the centerline of the screws 5.1.38
Fig. 5.2 fastening the mobile contact.
Before carrying out any testing and adjustment operation, remove the safety band
5.1.3 Fig. 5.1 that ties the two arms of each mobile live part.
When removing safety band, hold down the front arm 5.1.2 Fig.
Caution 5.1 in order to avoid a sudden raising.
Before carrying out the set-up operations described in the

following text, move back the end-stop screws so that the
Important insulator fastening flange can rotate freely. When all set-up
operations are complete, reinstate the end-stop screws so that
they are in contact again with the striking surface on the flange
both in the OPEN and in the CLOSED position.
While grasping the arm with your hands so as to control their movement, CLOSE
carefully each pole of the disconnector; when the disconnector is completely
CLOSED, check that the front arm 5.1.2 Fig.5.1 is horizontal Fig. 5.7 (a). The
misalignment of the centerlines of the fixed contact 5.2 Fig. 5.3 front arm 5.1.2 Fig.
5.1 and rear arm 5.1.1 Fig. 5.1, is acceptable if it does not exceed the value shown
in figure A-b; in any case, when the disconnect is completely CLOSED, the
centerline of the front arm must be horizontal and aligned with the centerline of the
fixed contact.
In the conditions above are not satisfied, you can position correctly the two arms
by carrying out concurrently the following adjustments:
adjust the linkage 5.1.10 Fig. 5.1 to position the rear arm 5.1.1 Fig. 5.1 in
the correct OPEN and CLOSED positions, make sure the end stops
5.1.23 Fig. 5.1 are not reached;
use the nuts 5.1.17 Fig. 5.1 of the threaded bar 5.1.18 Fig. 5.1 to move
backward or forward the rack located on the elbow of the mobile arm,
adjust then first of all the centering of the upper arm 5.1.2 Fig. 5.1 on the
fixed contact.
Check that during the closing operation the Teflon guide ring 5.1.28 Fig. 5.2 of
each mobile contact 5.1.24 Fig. 5.2 is centered on the guide cone 5.2.6 Fig. 5.3, of
the fixed contact 5.2 Fig. 5.3.

SPOT / SPO2T
GRID abcd
If the fixed contact 5.2 Fig. 5.3 and the mobile contact 5.1.24 Fig. 5.2 are
misaligned vertically, you can raise or lower the lower bases by adjusting the nuts
that fasten them to the support structures.
If the fixed contact and the mobile contact are misaligned transversely, you can
loosen the bolts fastening the bearing frame 5.1.5 Fig. 5.1 to the respective
support insulator and/or the bolts that fasten the fixed contact to the respective
support insulator and than carry out the adjustment.
When the operations above are complete and with disconnector in the completely
CLOSED position, the misalignment between the mark made on the fore arm and
the external edge of the rim 5.2.7 Fig. 5.1 of the guide cone 5.2.6 Fig. 5.1 must not
exceed +10 / -30 mm, as shown in figure 5.6 (c).
While grasping the front and rear arms with your hands so as to control their
movement, OPEN each pole of the disconnector and check that the front arm
5.1.2 Fig. 5.1 reaches the end stop 5.1.15 Fig. 5.1 and rests on it without forcing. If
needed, you can move back or advance the start of the control lever 5.1.9 Fig. 5.1
by using the free space on the bolts 5.2.3 Fig. 5.1 for the fastening and adjustment
of the rotary insulator. As an alternative, you can adjust the vertical drive shaft 4.1

both in the OPEN and in the CLOSED position.
While grasping the arm with your hands so as to control their movement, CLOSE
carefully each pole of the disconnector; when the disconnector is completely
CLOSED, check that the front arm 5.1.2 Fig. 5.1 is horizontal Fig. 5.7 (a). The
misalignment of the centerlines of the fixed contact 5.2 Fig. 5.3, front arm 5.1.2
Fig. 5.1 and rear arm 5.1.1, is acceptable if it does not exceed the value shown in
figure 5.7 (b); in any case, when the disconnect is completely CLOSED, the
centerline of the front arm must be horizontal and aligned with the centerline of the
fixed contact.

In the conditions above are not satisfied, you can position correctly the two arms
by carrying out concurrently the following adjustments:
adjust the linkage 5.1.10 Fig. 5.1 to position the rear arm 5.1.1 Fig. 5.1 in
the correct OPEN and CLOSED positions, make sure the end stops
5.1.23 Fig. 5.1 are not reached;
use the nuts 5.1.17 Fig. 5.1 of the threaded bar 5.1.18 Fig. 5.1 to move
backward or forward the rack located on the elbow of the mobile arm,
adjust then first of all the centering of the upper arm 5.1.2 Fig. 5.1 on the
fixed contact.
Check that during the closing operation the Teflon guide ring 5.1.28 Fig. 5.2 of
each mobile contact 5.1.24 Fig.5.2 is centered on the guide cone 5.2.6 Fig. 5.3 of
the fixed contact.
If the fixed contact and the mobile contact 5.1.24 Fig. 5.2 are misaligned vertically,
you can raise or lower the lower bases by adjusting the nuts that fasten them to
the support structures.
If the fixed contact and the mobile contact 5.1.24 Fig.5.2) are misaligned
transversely, you can loosen the bolts fastening the bearing frame 5.1.5 Fig. 5.1 to
the respective support insulator and/or the bolts that fasten the fixed contact to the
respective support insulator and than carry out the adjustment.
When the operations above are complete and with disconnector in the completely
CLOSED position, the misalignment between the mark made on the fore arm and
the external edge of the rim 5.2.7 Fig. 5.3 of the guide cone 5.2.6 Fig. 5.3 must not
exceed +10 / -30 mm, as shown in figure 5.7 (c).
While grasping the front and rear arms with your hands so as to control their
movement, OPEN each pole of the disconnector and check that the front arm
5.1.2 Fig. 5.1 reaches the end stop 5.1.15 Fig. 5.1 and rests on it without forcing. If
needed, you can move back or advance the start of the control lever 5.1.9 Fig. 5.1

6.3.2 ADJUSTMENT OF THE EARTHING SWITCH

The complete rotation of the control lever 6.1.2 Fig. 6.1 amounts to about 130°, in
the first 90° (approximately), the mobile arm 6.5 rotates from the horizontal to the
vertical position, till the guide 6.5.4 Fig. 6.3 strikes the end stop 6.2.4, 6.4.4 Fig.
6.6, which acts both as shock absorber and as arcing contact. In the final 40°
(approximately) the arm moves vertically and the fixed male contact 6.2.5, 6.4.5
Fig. 6.6 enters the female mobile contact 6.5.7 Fig. 6.3.
Check that in the CLOSED position, the control levers of the mobile arm 6.1.1 and
6.1.2 Fig. 6.1 of the earthing switch reach the dead point as shown in the following
figure 6.8.

If these conditions are not satisfied, you can adjust the drive as described in
Section 4.2.3.1.
Check that the mobile contact unit 6.5.3 Fig. 6.6 is exactly centered on the fixed
contact 6.2, 6.4 Fig. 6.6. If this condition is not achieved, loosen the fastening
screws of the support 6.1.6 Fig. 6.1 of the earthing switch until the mobile contact
is centered, then tighten the screws again.
Check that between the edge of the mobile contact 6.5.3 Fig. 6.6 and the tip of the
fixed contact there is a gap of 10 up to 15 mm as shown in figure 5H.
If this condition is not achieved, loosen the screws 6.2.12, 6.5.4, 6.3.2 Fig. 6.6,
and - using the slots on the plate of the fixed contact - raise or lower the fixed
contact to the required height, then tighten the screws again.

SECTION 7 – MAINTENANCE PLAN

This section contains important information about the steps for the commissioning
of the switchgear. The checklist describes the procedures to carry out the
inspection and the required conditions for the commissioning of the equipment.
This section also contains the programmed maintenance plan.

The switchgears not require special maintenance. We recommend, however, in
order to ensure the correct operation of the equipment, to carry out routine checks
and maintenance actions, especially on the component parts which are most
sensitive or subject to wear.
The frequency of checks and maintenance actions depends on the number of
operations (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 or 10,000) that have been guaranteed for the
supplied equipment.
In order to keep the guarantee of the equipment in force, routine checks and
maintenance operations must comply with the following NTC-1955 table.
In case of coastal and other corrosive and contaminated environments, every two
years it is mandatory to check and eventually to restore the grease on the
exposed parts, as described in Table NTC-1955 B.9).
Please, refer to the specific sections of this manual for the
Important details concerning lubrication and greasing of the lower part
(Section 3), of the live part (Section 4), and of the earthing
switch (Section 5).
