Maintenance and troubleshooting
Sub-assembly Item Inspect for
Primary power path Vacuum interrupter 1. Cleanliness.
2. Contact erosion. Note: Perform with
manual-spring checks.
3. Vacuum integrity. Note: Perform with
high-potential tests.
Vacuum interrupter contact resistance 1. Record contact resistance with contacts
closed and check at each maintenance
interval to monitor condition.
Vacuum interrupter operator mechanism Cleanliness 1. Dirt or foreign material.
Fasteners 1. Tightness of nuts and other locking
devices.
Manual-spring check 1. Smooth operation of manual charging,
manual closing and manual tripping.
Lubrication 1. Evidence of excessive wear.
2. Lubricaion of wear points.
Electrical controls Wiring 1. Mechanical damage or abrasion.
Terminals and connectors 1. Tightness and absence of mechanical
damage.
Close and trip solenoids, anti-pump relay
and auxiliary switches
