Description
60 Revision 03 * INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 8DJH * 500-8067.9
9 Switchgear maintenance
Maintenance 8DJH switchgear is maintenance-free. Inspection/testing of the secondary equipment
such as the capacitive voltage detecting system is done within the scope of national
standards or customer-specific regulations.
Replacement of
components
Due to the fact that all parts of this switchgear have been optimized to last the normal
service life, it is not possible to recommend particular spare parts.
Information required for spare part orders of single components and devices:
• Type and serial number of the switchgear (see rating plates)
• Description/identification of the device or component on the basis of a sketch/photo or
a circuit diagram.
10 End of service life
SF
6
gas
Before recycling the materials, evacuate the SF
6
gas professionally and prepare it for
further use.
Recycling The switchgear is an environmentally compatible product.
The components of the switchgear can be recycled in an environmentally compatible
way by dismantling into sorted scrap and residual mixed scrap.
After evacuating the SF
6
gas, the switchgear mainly consists of the following materials:
• Steel (enclosure and operating mechanisms)
• Stainless steel (vessel)
• Copper (conductor bars)
• Silver (contacts)
• Cast-resin based on epoxy resin (bushings and post insulators)
• Plastic materials (switching devices and fuse tripping)
• Silicone rubber
The switchgear can be recycled in ecological manner in compliance with existing
legislation.
Auxiliary devices such as short-circuit indicators have to be recycled as electronic scrap.
Batteries have to be recycled professionally.
As delivered by Siemens, the switchgear does not contain hazardous materials as per
the Hazardous Material Regulations applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany.
For operation in other countries, the locally applicable laws and regulations must be
followed.
For further information please contact your regional Siemens representative.
NOTE!
The equipment contains the fluorized greenhouse gas SF
6
registrated by the Kyoto
Protocol with a global warming potential (GWP) of 22 200. SF
6
has to be reclaimed and
must not be released into the atmosphere.
Ö For use and handling of SF
6
, IEC 62271-303 has to be observed: High-voltage
switchgear and controlgear - Part 303 Use and handling of sulphur hexafluoride
(SF
6
).
