6.2. Racking the VSC/P contactor in
and out
• Should operations be carried out with the
contactor racked-out of the switchgear,
pay great attention to the moving parts.
• The contactor must only be racked into
the unit in the open position. Racking-in
and racking-out must be gradual to avoid
shocks which might deform the mechanical
interlocks.

The torque needed to carry out truck handling is < 25 Nm.
Checks:
a) clockwise rotation of the motor during circuit-breaker
racking-in.
b) anti-clockwise rotation of the motor during circuit-breaker
racking-out.
– Remove the manual crank.
