Instructions for Installation and Maintenance
2.2 PACKAGING AND SHIPMENT

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 the equipment into shipping units is devised to speed up the
installation on site and simplify the handling of the shipping units.
The subdivision is detailed in the Packing List and reported in the
Important relevant DIN.
Refer to the DIN for the identification of the parts also.

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 GE 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.

GE Information D0996-AF-EN
41 / 165
Instructions for Installation and Maintenance
2.4 UNPACKING AND LIFTING

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.

Concerning the storage of the drive, consult the specific


Important instruction manual D-… 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.
Parts with weight less than 25 kg can be handled by hand.
Sling the material (lower parts, insulators, live parts) with an
Important adequate lifting apparatus as indicated in the following sections
of this instruction manual.

SECTION 3 - LOWER PART AND INSULATORS

CONTENTS OF THIS SECTION


This section contains information to know before starting any operation on the lower
parts of the disconnector.
It contains, for instance, the specifications of the lower parts, the recommendations of
the manufacturer and the danger or caution warnings to conform to for a safe and
correct procedure.
This section contains important information on the installation of the equipment and
lists the operations to carry out in sequence and the methods to apply for correct
installation.

READ CAREFULLY THE TEXT OF THIS SECTION BEFORE STARTING ANY


Important OPERATION ON THE EQUIPMENT OR ON ANY OF ITS COMPONENTS.

3.1 GENERAL
This series of lower parts has been designed for installation on equipment with rated
voltage up to 170 kV.
The bases are made in hot-dip galvanized steel and the dimensions are calculated so
that they can resist mechanical stress due, for instance, to the action transmitted by
the conductors to the line terminals, to short-time currents, etc.
The following figures show some examples of assembled lower bases of this series of
disconnectors in the several possible configurations (see section 1 of this document):
 S2DA: three-pole disconnector, configuration with parallel poles (Fig. 3.1);
 S2DAT: three-pole disconnector, configuration with parallel poles, earthing switch
on the right side (Fig. 3.2);
 S2DAT: three-pole disconnector, configuration with parallel poles, earthing switch
on the left side (Fig. 3.3);

4.2 INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

Adaptation of the length of the vertical drive shaft


Follow this procedure only in case the length of the vertical
drive shaft is different from that indicated in the specific
installation drawing.
With reference to Fig. 4.1, measure the distance "L" between the
upper surface of the support of the control lever and the and the
axis of the fastening hole on the hub of the drive; add the
Important dimension "d" and 20 mm to this distance. Such length is called
"La":
La = L + d + 20 (with “L”, “La” and “d ” in mm)

Measure the vertical drive shaft 4.3 or 4.4 supplied with the
equipment and, if it’s longer than "La", cut it to the exact size and
then deburr the edges and reinstate the surface protection by cold
galvanizing.
Make sure that the drive and the disconnector or the earthing switch are in the same
end position (CLOSED or OPEN, as instructed in Section 3).
At this point, and only for disconnectors equipped with double-
shaft drives, the interlocking discs shall be installed on the vertical
Important drive shafts 4.3 and 4.4 before inserting them into the support of
the lower base.
Refer to section 3 of this manual for details.
Insert the top of the vertical drive shaft 4.3 or 4.4 into the specific bush located on the

SECTION 5 - LIVE PART

CONTENTS OF THIS SECTION


This section contains information to know before starting any operation on the live
parts.
It contains, for instance, the specifications of the live parts, the recommendations of
the manufacturer and the danger or caution warnings to conform to for a safe and
correct procedure.
This section contains important information on the installation of the equipment and
lists the operations to carry out in sequence and the methods to apply for correct
installation.

READ CAREFULLY THE TEXT OF THIS SECTION BEFORE STARTING ANY


Important OPERATION ON THE EQUIPMENT OR ON ANY OF ITS COMPONENTS.

5.1 GENERAL
These series of live parts have been designed for installation on equipment with rated
current up to 3150 A.
The main contacts are made of four blades (female contacts) and two plates (male
contacts) in copper and suitably shaped.
These components are fastened to the ends of the aluminum profiles that make up the
respective mobile arms; moreover, a spring suitably positioned at the end of the female
arm ensures an adequate contact pressure.
The contacts couple with a sliding movement and the system is therefore self-cleaning
and self-tightening; this ensures the best behavior in the case of stress due to short
circuit currents.
The dimensions of the profiles, contacts and all live parts depend on the rated current
of the equipment; the complete range is shown in Table 5.1.
Fig. 5.1 shows as an example the “II Series” live part for 2000 A, while Fig. 5.2 shows the
detail of the related system of main contacts.
Similarly, Fig. 5.3 shows the “EVO” live part for 3150 A, while Fig. 5.4 shows the detail of
the related system of main contacts

5.2 INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTS


5.2.1 CONDITIONS AND PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
a) For the correct installation of the live parts, the lower bases, the transmissions, and
the insulators must be assembled in accordance with the directions in the
applicable sections.
b) Screws, bolts and nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench with the torque
values stated in the Attachment "A".
c) Prepare and treat the permanent contact surfaces of live parts, through which
current will flow (e.g. the contact surface between the terminal connection pad or
shank and the clamp of the line conductor) as follows:
 Wipe off any trace of grease from the contact surfaces with non-abrasive
solvent. If the surfaces are oxidized, clean them up with a steel brush or fine
abrasive paper;
 Cover them immediately with antioxidant paste;
 Connect the surfaces as soon as possible.

5.2.2 INSTALLATION OF THE LIVE PARTS OF THE S2DA / S2DAT / S2DA2T DISCONNECTORS
The sequence of steps required for installing the live part is the
same for all types and does not depend on the electrical
Important characteristics (rated current).
As an example, we take the live part of 2000 A shown in Fig. 5.1.

5.2.2.1 Arms
The two arms, the male one 5.2 and the female one 5.1, that
make up the live part of the disconnector are not symmetrical.
If the arms are swapped, the disconnector does not work and
Important any operation may damage the live parts.
Use the specific stickers on the lower base as guides for the
correct installation of the arms.

5.2.2.2 Line terminal clamps


Before installing the line-terminal clamps, clean and prepare the
Important contact surfaces on the shanks and inside the clamps in
accordance with the procedure contained in section 5.2.1.

When the poles of the disconnector are in CLOSED positions and the
terminals are disconnected, the flexible conductors 5.13 have a
tendency to unwind and turn the shank 5.14, which displaces it from
Important the correct position.
Therefore, before installing the line-terminal clamps, the shanks
5.14 must be suitably aligned with the live parts.
Grasp the shank 5.14 with your hands and turn it in the correct direction
(counterclockwise for the female arm and clockwise for the male arm) until the hole "F"
(Fig. 5.7) is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the live part.
Insert then a screwdriver, or another suitable tool, into the hole "F" (see Fig. 5.7) to hold
the shank 5.14 in the correct position while installing the clamp.
Finally insert the clamp on the respective shank 5.14 and align it with the longitudinal
axis of the live part; tighten then the fastening screws.

To correctly set-up the terminal clamps, align their upper surface


Important with the upper edge of the shanks.

6.5.1 AUXILIARY CONTACTS
The earthing switches of the series STA can be equipped on request with a special
device that acts as an auxiliary arcing contact.

Fig. 6.8: Auxiliary mobile contact (right or left side assembled)

6.5.1.1 Installation of the auxiliary contacts


The auxiliary mobile contact (called “whip”, pos. 6.33 of below Fig. 6.9) operates earlier
than the main contacts of the earthing switch in closing and provide the location for
any arc, then keeps in contact with the auxiliary fixed contact 6.40 until the main
contacts of the earthing switch have closed.
In opening, the auxiliary mobile contact 6.33 keeps in contact with the auxiliary fixed
contact 6.40 until the main contacts of the earthing switch separate; any arc is thus
interrupted through the auxiliary mobile contact 6.33 without affecting the contacts of
the earthing switch.
Such device comprises basically two articulated components: an auxiliary mobile
contact (Fig. 6.9), integral with the mobile arm of the earthing switch, and an auxiliary
fixed contact (Fig. 6.10), fastened to the fixed contact of the earthing switch.
Install the unit of the auxiliary device on the mobile arm of the earthing switch fixing its
support 6.30 with the specific fastening plate 6.31 and the respective bolts 6.32. Keep
the dimension indicated in Fig. 6.0.
