2. HEALTH AND SAFETY
For all the safety purposes please refer to the AREVA T&D Safety Guide: SFTY/4L M/D11
(or later issue) and to the following chapters.
WARNING: THIS SAFETY SECTION SHOULD BE READ BEFORE COMMENCING
ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT.
2.1 Health and Safety
The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure
that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition.
It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar with
the contents of the Safety Section.
2.2 Installing, Commissioning and Servicing
Equipment connections
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on this equipment
should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. The product
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.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by all
personnel to avoid electrical shock or energy hazards.
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to
ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. To ensure that
wires are correctly terminated the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be
used.
Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth terminal, or
the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.
Omitting or disconnecting the equipment earth may cause a safety hazard.
The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5 mm², unless otherwise stated in the
technical data section of the product documentation.
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) connection should be ensured by use
of a locknut or similar."
Before energising the equipment, the following should be checked:
• Voltage rating and polarity
• CT circuit rating and integrity of connections
• Integrity of earth connection (where applicable)
Note: The term earth used throughout the product documentation is the
direct equivalent of the North American term ground.
Equipment operating conditions
The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits.
Current transformer circuits
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high level voltage produced may be
lethal to personnel and could damage insulation.

Safety & Handling C264/EN SA/A14
MiCOM C264/C264C Page 5/12
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 boards
These must not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment whist it is energised since this
may result in damage.
Fibre optic communication
Where fibre 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.

3. DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL
Decommissioning:
The auxiliary supply circuit in the MiCOM computers may include capacitors across the
supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely isolating the
supplies to the MiCOM computers (both poles of any dc supply), the capacitors should be
safely discharged via the external terminals prior to decommissioning.
Disposal:
It is recommended that incineration and disposal to watercourses be avoided. The product
should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any products containing batteries should have them
removed before disposal, in order to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the
country of operation may apply to the disposal of lithium batteries.

5. HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENTS
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 T&D 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 practicable 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 a 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, which is at the
same potential as you.
5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.
More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in
IEC 60147-0F and BS5783.
If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of any equipment in
service, you must be earthen to the case with a conductive wrist strap.
Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k – 10M Ohms. If a wrist strap
is not available you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent the build up of
static. Instrumentation which may be used for making measurements should be earthen to
the case whenever possible.
T&D strongly recommends that detailed investigations on the electronic circuitry, or
modification work, should be carried out in a Special Handling Area such as described in
IEC 60147-0F or BS5783.

6. PACKING AND UNPACKING
All MiCOM C264/C264C computers are packaged separately in their own cartons and
shipped inside outer packaging. Use special care when opening the cartons and unpacking
the device, and do not use force. In addition, make sure to remove from the inside carton the
supporting documents supplied with each individual device and the type identification label.
The design revision level of each module included with the device in its as-delivered
condition can be determined from the list of components. This list should be carefully saved.
After unpacking the device, inspect it visually to make sure it is in proper mechanical
condition.
If the MiCOM Cx64/Cx64C computer needs to be shipped, both inner and outer packaging
must be used. If the original packaging is no longer available, make sure that packaging
conforms to ISO 2248 specifications for a drop height ≤0.8m.

9. WARNINGS REGARDING USE OF T&D EAI PRODUCTS
AREVA T&D products are not designed with components and testing for a level of reliability
suitable for use in or in connection with surgical implants or as critical components in any life
support systems whose failure to perform can reasonably be expected to cause significant
injuries to a human.
In any application, including the above, reliability of operation of the software products can
be impaired by adverse factors, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in electrical power
supply, computer hardware malfunctions, computer operating system, software fitness,
fitness of compilers and development software used to develop an application, installation
errors, software and hardware compatibility problems, malfunctions or failures of electronic
monitoring or control devices, transient failures of electronic systems (hardware and/or
software), unanticipated uses or misuses, or errors from the user or applications designer
(adverse factors such as these are collectively termed "System failures").
Any application where a system failure would create a risk of harm to property or persons
(including the risk of bodily injuries and death) should not be reliant solely upon one form of
electronic system due to the risk of system failure to avoid damage, injury or death, the user
or application designer must take reasonably steps to protect against system failure,
including, but not limited to, back-up or shut-down mechanisms, not because end-user
system is customised and differs from AREVA T&D testing platforms but also a user or
application designer may use T&D products in combination with other products. These
actions cannot be evaluated or contemplated by AREVA T&D; Thus, the user or application
designer is ultimately responsible for verifying and validating the suitability of AREVA T&D
products whenever they are incorporated in a system or application, even without limitation
of the appropriate design, process and safety levels of such system or application.
