Ventilation control: Provide area ventilation, heating, and air conditioning to maintain the ambient temperature around the equipment between - 5 C and 40 C.
The necessity of correct implementation of connections: New cold-shrink or slip-on technology offers ease of installation. The effect of the relative humidity factor: Heating resistor installation is essential in climates with a high rate of relative humidity and with significant temperature differentials.
Operation
It is strongly advised to periodically carry out (minimum every 2 years) 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 verify the steps to be taken in order to ensure correct functioning of the installation. Contact the Schneider Electric Service Center for help to do so.

Operating instructions
Disconnector operation
Operating handle
Description
The disconnector is the isolation means between the main busbar and the line side of the primary fuses. When the disconnector is in the earthed or OPEN position, it disconnects or isolates the contactor from the supply voltage. Moving the disconnector to the OPEN position earths the switch blades and the load side power circuit down to the line side of the contactor. In the earthed/OPEN position, the disconnector does not earth the load side of the contactor, cables, or any other components that are connected to the load side of the contactor. The disconnector operating handle is stored on the rightor left-hand end sheet.

Description
The cable earthing switch is used to earth the customer load connection cables when the switch is in the CLOSED or discharged position. It is mechanically interlocked with the disconnector and is actuated by using the same operating handle. Connection to earth is accomplished when the spring operated earthing bar is connected across all three phases of the customer load terminals.
The cable earthing switch has no interrupting capability and is not capable of closing on the full fault current available on the system. When used with a power transformer, key interlocks should be used between the main secondary disconnect device and the cable earthing switch to ensure proper sequencing of operation.
The interlock system requires the following conditions to be met before the cable earthing switch can be operated:
The interlock shuttle must be in the right-hand position. The contactor must be in the OPEN position. The disconnector must be in the DISCONNECTED and EARTHED position. The MV compartment door must be closed and latched.

RVAT operation
All operations described hereafter must be carried out in compliance with the safety standards in force, under the responsibility of a competent person.
Autotransformer taps
Autotransformers
Autotransformers are normally tapped at 50%65%80%. The standard factory setting used is 65%. Standard reduced-voltage starters make the transition from reduced to full voltage based on the operation of a current transition relay. As the motor accelerates, the current drawn will decrease. When the motor is near full speed, the relay will sense the drop in current and initiate the transition to full voltage. Transition based on a simple timing relay is not recommended. Increased loads may be placed on the power system, starter, motor, and driven equipment if a transition occurs before the motor is up to speed. If this method is used, refer to the electrical schematics provided with the line-up.
Relay setting
The current transition relay setting is user selectable with 100% being the recommended default setting. An incomplete sequence timer will open the starter if the current relay has not initiated transition before the timer times out. The timer should be set to a maximum of 30 seconds. The current relay setting may be increased to its maximum value of 120% if transition does not occur. If the starter does not transition in 30 seconds with the current relay set at its maximum of 120%, the motor does not have sufficient starting torque for the connected load. The motor must be unloaded or the starting torque increased. To increase starting torque, the autotransformer must be moved from the 65% tap setting to the 80% tap setting. steps to change tap settings

Operating instructions
Functions
Monitoring of temperature buildup in 2 zones
The MDT107 module performs the following functions: Each CFO733 sensor corresponds to a 3-point zone to be monitored in the panel, monitoring being based on temperature rise. The module measures the temperature at 3 points per zone, as well as the ambient temperature in order to calculate the temperature rise for each point. Given the temperature differences between the inside of the LV cabinet and the outside of the enclosure, correction of the ambient temperature measured by the module is configured by means of an additional setting. Comparison monitoring is used with a maximum temperature rise threshold, which may be adjusted separately for each zone and is common to the 3 measurement points. This form of monitoring is completed by a fixed maximum absolute sensor temperature threshold. Therefore, the module includes 3 settings, to which access is sealed after the ambient temperature settings are made on site.
Triggering of a pre-alarm
When the temperature rise at 1 of the 3 points reaches a first set point equal to 85% (1) of the preset threshold for the zone, or when 1 of the 3 points reaches the maximum absolute temperature of 115 C (239 F), a pre-alarm is generated that results in:
activation of the pre-alarm indication relay common to the 2 zones. activation in flashing mode of 1 of the 6 front panel indicators that identify the zone and related point.
Triggering of an alarm
When the temperature rise at 1 of the 3 points reaches the preset maximum threshold (2) for the zone, or when 1 of the 3 points reaches the maximum absolute temperature of 120 C (248 F), an alarm is generated that results in:
activation of the alarm power relay common to the 2 zones. activation in constant mode of 1 of the 6 front panel indicators that identify the zone and related point.
(1) This is a fixed value; it can not be modified. (2) These 7 setting values are defined at the factory. They are identified as A to G. See Wiring and operation for MDT107.
