Test operation helps you to verify the perfect operation of the switchgear without high
voltage before commissioning.
Ö Switch the three-position switch-disconnector with motor operation several times to
CLOSED and OPEN position.
Ö Make sure that the three-position switch is switched to OPEN position after
completion of test operation.
Ö Switch on all auxiliary and control voltages and verify correct polarity.
Ö Check whether the mechanical and/or electrical interlocking conditions are fulfilled
without using excessive force.
Ö Check whether the switch positions of the three-position switches are displayed
correctly.
