SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual carefully before proceeding with any handling, operation and
maintenance action. Failure to follow safety recommendations, could lead to serious
physical and material injury.
This manual should be accessible to all people involved in the installation, operation and
maintenance of the equipment.
The equipments described in this manual were designed and tested to operate within their
nominal values. Use outside this range may result in malfunction, and could cause serious
physical and material injury.
The cells and switches are equipped with safety interlocks making its use simple and
secure. Do not force them.
This equipment can be remotely controlled and contains live and mechanical parts that
move at high speed.
In the cells with circuit breakers, never perform checks on the circuit-breaker while it is
closed or with the closing springs charged. The circuit breaker must be open and the
closing springs discharged. (See the DIVAC Instruction Manual)

5. SF6 SYSTEM
The ISF switches and SF isolators, of insulation in SF6, used in the NORMAFIX cells are
devices that are watertight and sealed for life (according to IEC 62271).
The tightness of this equipment is guaranteed by routine tests performed. The expected
life of this equipment is 30 years.
To access the valve it is necessary to remove the hood of the engine command (see
instructions in this manual.)
Features of the valve used:
Supplier: EFACEC
Model: 37409072
Dimensions: DN14,5
The valve is resistant to decomposing SF6.

6. DISPATCH
The NORMAFIX cells are shipped with the switch open and the earthing switch closed.
The NORMAFIX cells are shipped individually on a wooden pallet (fixed by four screws and
covered with transparent plastic film).
Accessories for mounting and wiring of the cells are supplied separately.
7. RECEPTION
Identify and confirm in the panels received:
The function through the synoptic
The rating plate
The good condition of the material
Confirm the existence of the separated material package.
Any irregularities found, should be mentioned in the delivery note.
120 Max
Panels must remain fixed to the transportation wooden pallet until assembled. Panels are
displaced with the help of the following tools:
Travelling crane
Pallet-carrier
For the safety of the operator and the equipment itself, the units must be transported
laterally.
13
NORMAFIX
The panels should be stored with its original packaging, to avoid dust, splashing water and
chemicals, in a well ventilated and dry area, at a temperature between -25C and +40C.
8. INSTALLATION
8.1 Preparing the floor
The floor maximum admissible unevenness is of 2 mm/m in order to allow an easy
mounting and a good final appearance of the panels set.
8.2 Unpacking
Once the panels are near the assembly place and in the foreseen order:
Remove the plastic film;
Open the cable compartment door (earthing switch must be in the closed position);
Remove the four screws (wrench 17) holding the cubicle to the base;
Rotate the panel in order to release it from the base and place it on the floor
according to movement instructions.
14
NORMAFIX
8.4 Panels assembly
Position the first panel and fix it to the floor.
Then, position the second panel and connect it to the first by using M8x16H screws, M8
washers and M8H nuts and fix it to the floor. Do the same for the remaining cubicles.
It is necessary to place the side end panels at the end of the set of cells. They use 14 M6
screws, washers and riveted nuts (supplied as accessories) to attach each panel.
Note: The assembly should be done with the roof panel to access the bus and cable
compartment door removed.
8.5 Fastening the panels to the floor
Refer to the deployment plan of the panels where its configuration is set, the overall
dimensions and recommended points of attachment to the floor.
The panels are fixed to the ground by means of M12 screws (4 attachment points in the end
cells, and two diagonal fixing points in the others).

8.6 Connection of the earthing circuit
All NORMAFIX components (bars, cables connections, fuses, etc.) are interconnected and
connected to the earth by the same copper circuit.

Starting at a switchboard end and at the rear phase L1:
Arrange the bars over the upper sockets;
Place the deflectors, screws and washers in position (orient the deflectors on the
correct position);
Immobilize the fixing screws with a fastening binary of 2,4 daNm, wrench 17.
17
NORMAFIX
Access the current switch screw where the terminal is fixed to the cable (on the
panels IS and CD it is necessary to remove the deflector);
Place the cables at terminal height, starting by the furthest phase;
Mark the terminal lower limit on the cables;
Pull the cables outside and execute the ends following the cable manufacturer's
instruction;
Starting from the farther phase, locate the current terminal and fasten the screw
with the nut and washer - tightening torque 4,5 daNm (and,
replacing the deflector in the IS and CIS);
Assemble the second element of the bottom plate, taking care to leave the cable
earth plait above the plate.
Cut the cable bushing according with the cable outside diameter and insert it down
the cable to the bottom plate.
Adapt the tightening clamps and immobilise the nuts (wrench 13), being careful not
to overtorque the cable.

Connect the three cable earth plaits to the earth main bar with M8x30H screws and
immobilize the nut with a wrench 13, tightening torque 0,9 daNm.

In the case of fuses with striker:
Remove the label of protection of the striker, when installing the fuse for the first
time;
Make sure the striker is positioned correctly (upwards).

9.1 Essential checking
Confirm the proper connection of the busbar, cable, earth circuits, measuring TFs
and auxiliary LV circuits;
Confirm the proper assembly of the fuses, busbar and cable field deflectors and
cable compartment panels;
Confirm that the pressure indicator (if applicable) is in the green zone

9.4 Live cables control
After having fed the cubicle "A" cables, check whether the L1, L2, L3 live cables
indicating lamps, mounted in the operation panel, are lit;
Feed cubicle "B" cables and check the lighting of the live cables indicating lamps.

10. EXPLOITATION
10.1. Operating mechanism operation
The cubicles are shipped with switch disconnector in the open position and earth switch in
closed position.
All maneuvers are made without great efforts.
The motorization is not operational if the maneuver lever is placed.
The mechanism is operated using an operating lever backstop, which function is to prevent
that it goes directly to the switch open position after making the closing maneuver.
Switch closed
Earthing switch open
Switch opened
Earthing switch opened
Switch opened
Earth switch closed
This action will jam the front cable panel and release the position of the open switch.
22
NORMAFIX
10.3. Earth Switch closing operation (CI1 and CI2)
This maneuver:
Closes the Earth switch;
Unlocks the cable access front panel;
Interlocks the Switch in the opened position (it cannot be closed).
10.4. Switch closing operation (CI1 or CS1)
This maneuver is possible only if the earthing switch is in the "open" position
Insert the lever into the slot of the maneuver switch.
Operate the lever clockwise until the final position - the switch closes abruptly.
The command of the earthing switch is stuck in the "open" position.
23
NORMAFIX
10.5. Switch opening operation (CI1 or CS1)
10.6. Switch closing operation and recharge for opening (CI2 - transformer protection
function)
This maneuver possible only if the earth switch is in the open position;
Insert the lever into the slot fo the Switch maneuver;
Operate the lever clockwise until the final position;
The Switch closes and the lever remains captive.
24
NORMAFIX
10.7. Switch opening operation (CI2 - transformer protection function)
The opening operation can be made:
Manually (shutter release button in the mechanism)
By a coil opening (optional)
By fuses (fuses mechanical action)
10.8. Closing and opening operations (Vacuum Circuit Breaker, CDV mechanism)
25
NORMAFIX
10.9. Closing and opening operations (SF6 Circuit Breaker, CLR mechanism)
Use the lever to load the springs (operate clockwise circular movements).
Close the circuit breaker by turning the maneuver button in a counter-clockwise
direction.
The circuit breaker will be ready to make an opening maneuver (turning the
maneuver button clockwise or by discharging the opening coil).
If you want to make a new maneuver, it is necessary to recharge the springs again,
even if the circuit breaker is not open. If the circuit breaker has a powered
mechanism, it will charge the springs automatically when necessary.
11. MAINTENANCE
NORMAFIX is a maintenance-free product.
However, when the switchgear is inoperative for a long time or if it is under severe
environmental conditions (dust, humidity, salty etc), it is advisable to perform the
following operations whenever there is a duty break:
