Safety Provisions

Before performing work on the cubicle, it is essential that you comply with the following instructions:

DANGER
HAZARD OF electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Before removing covers and performing assembly or maintenance work: Ensure that the system is isolated from high voltage, supply voltage, and properly grounded. Ensure that the VCB is in test condition, the Earthing Switch (E/S) is closed, and access is locked. Follow the Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) process to perform any work on switchboard. Install barriers, cables, and polycarbonates in accordance with the design specifications wherever necessary. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
HAZARD OF MOVABLE PARTS IN MECHANICAL DRIVES Before performing mounting and maintenance work, comply with the below safety rules: Isolate from the supply voltage. Release the energy-storing device of the VCB by performing the OFF-ON-OFF operation. Do not remove the mechanisms during maintenance work. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING

HAZARD OF MOVABLE PARTS IN MECHANICAL DRIVES

Before performing mounting and maintenance work, comply with the below safety rules:

Isolate from the supply voltage.
Release the energy-storing device of the VCB by performing the
OFF-ON-OFF operation.
Do not remove the mechanisms during maintenance work.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING
HAZARD OF SHARP-EDGED SHEET METAL AND METAL PARTS During installation and maintenance work, comply with the below safety rules: Apply appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See standards or local equivalent. Always cover sharp edges. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

CAUTION
HAZARD OF INAPPROPRIATE HANDLING, STORAGE AND INSTALLATION Respect the handling rules and avoid any shocks to the device. Perform the maintenance and servicing operations described in the maintenance section of this guide. Observe the normal service conditions described in this guide. Before the VCB is installed in its final location, ensure that the storage conditions for the PIX-36 equipment and the VCB are complied. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

CAUTION

HAZARD OF INAPPROPRIATE HANDLING, STORAGE AND INSTALLATION

Respect the handling rules and avoid any shocks to the device.
Perform the maintenance and servicing operations described in the maintenance section of this guide.
Observe the normal service conditions described in this guide.
Before the VCB is installed in its final location, ensure that the storage conditions for the PIX-36 equipment and the VCB are complied.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Behavior in Case of Incidents or Accidents

If an internal arc fault occurs, the PIX-36 switchgear is equipped with pressure relief absorbers or ports to help prevent the cubicles and switchgear from being blown off.

This user and maintenance guide does not include information regarding the safety of buildings in case of internal faults (pressure load of the switchgear room and necessary pressure relief ports). Pressure calculations for switchgear rooms, including recommendations for pressure relief ports, are available upon request for a fee. For more details, contact Schneider Electric.

In case of fire or internal faults, toxic and caustic decomposition products are produced. Comply with the locally applicable accident and safety provisions.

Make sure that the first-aid measures are taken in case of injury to persons.
