1.2 Symbols
For safety reasons the following symbols which may be used on the equipment or referred to
in the equipment documentation, should be understood before it is installed or
commissioned.
Caution: refer to equipment documentation Caution: risk of electric shock
Protective Conductor (*Earth) terminal Functional/Protective Conductor
(*Earth) terminal
Note: This symbol may also be used
for a Protective Conductor
(Earth) terminal if that terminal
is part of a terminal block or
sub-assembly e.g. power
supply.
*NOTE: THE TERM EARTH USED THROUGHOUT THIS TECHNICAL
MANUAL IS THE DIRECT EQUIVALENT OF THE NORTH
AMERICAN TERM GROUND.
1.3 Installing, commissioning and servicing
Equipment connections
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work for this
equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety.
The equipment documentation should be consulted before installing,
commissioning, or servicing the equipment.
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may
present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.
Any disassembly of the equipment may expose parts at hazardous voltage, also
electronic parts may be damaged if suitable electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD)
precautions are not taken.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by
all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.
The equipment must be connected in accordance with the appropriate connection
diagram.
Protection Class I Equipment
- Before energizing the equipment it must be earthed using the protective
conductor terminal, if provided, or the appropriate termination of the
supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.
- The protective conductor (earth) connection must not be removed since
the protection against electric shock provided by the equipment would be
lost.
- When the protective (earth) conductor terminal (PCT) is also used to
terminate cable screens, etc., it is essential that the integrity of the
protective (earth) conductor is checked after the addition or removal of
such functional earth connections. For M4 stud PCTs the integrity of the
protective (earth) connections should be ensured by use of a locknut or
similar.

Global Documentation H35x/EN GL/D23
MiCOM H35x Page 7/38
The recommended minimum protective conductor (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm²
(3.3 mm² for North America) unless otherwise stated in the technical data section
of the equipment documentation, or otherwise required by local or country wiring
regulations.
The protective conductor (earth) connection must be low-inductance and as short
as possible.
Before energizing the equipment, the following should be checked:
- Voltage rating/polarity (rating label/equipment documentation);
- Protective fuse rating;
- Integrity of the protective conductor (earth) connection (where
applicable);
- Voltage rating of external wiring, applicable to the application.
Equipment use
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Equipment operating conditions
The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.
Insulation and dielectric strength testing
Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At
the end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero,
to discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.
Insertion of modules and PCB cards
Modules and PCB cards must not be inserted into or withdrawn from the
equipment whilst it is energized, since this may result in damage.
Fiber optic communication
Where fiber optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed
directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or
signal level of the device.
Cleaning
The equipment may be cleaned using a lint-free cloth dampened with clean water,
when no connections are energized. Contact fingers of test plugs are normally
protected by petroleum jelly, which should not be removed.
1.4 De-commissioning and disposal
De-commissioning
The supply input (auxiliary) for the equipment may include capacitors across the
supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely
isolating the supplies to the equipment (both poles of any dc supply), the
capacitors should be safely discharged via the external terminals prior to de-
commissioning.
Disposal
It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses is avoided.
The equipment should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any equipment
containing batteries should have them removed before disposal, taking
precautions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of
operation, may apply to the disposal of the equipment.

Unless otherwise stated in the equipment technical manual, the following data is applicable.
1.5.1 Protective fuse rating
The recommended maximum rating of the external protective fuse for equipments is 16A,
high rupture capacity (HRC) Red Spot type NIT, or TIA, or equivalent. The protective fuse
should be located as close to the unit as possible.
1.5.2 Protective class
IEC 60255-27: 2005 Class I (unless otherwise specified in the
EN 60255-27: 2005 equipment documentation). This equipment

1.6 Handling of Electronic Equipment
A person’s normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several
thousand volts.
Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling circuits can cause
serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit
will have been reduced.
The electronic circuits of Aipqlj products are immune to the relevant levels of
electrostatic discharge when housed in their cases. Do not expose them to the risk of
damage by withdrawing modules unnecessarily.
Each module incorporates the highest practical protection for its semiconductor devices.
However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following precautions should be
taken in order to preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment has been
designed and manufactured.
1. Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as
the equipment by touching the case.
2. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board. Avoid
touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors.
3. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are both at the
same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
4. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface that is at the
same potential as you.
5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.
