2 With regards to this User Manual
© − AREVA−2005. AREVA, the
AREVA logo and their figurative
forms are AREVA registered trade-
marks. The other brand names
mentioned within this document,
whether they be copyright or not,
belong to their respective holders.
2.1 Eco−design concept and revalorisation of the materials used
The design and manufacture of our
packaging are both in conformity
with the French government decree
N° 98−638 of 20 July 1998, concer-
ning the account that is taken of
environmental requirements.
2.2 Responsibilities
Our devices are quality controlled
and tested at the factory in accor-
dance with the standards and the
regulations currently in force.
Apparatus efficiency and apparatus
life depend on the compliance with
the installation, commissioning and
operation instructions described in
this user manual. Non respect of
these instructions is likely to invali-
date any guarantee.
Local requirements especially
about safety and which are in
accordance with the indications
given in this document, must be
observed.
AREVA declines any responsibility
for the consequences:
− due to the non respect of the
recommendations in this manual
which make reference to the inter-
national regulations in force.
− due to the non respect of the ins-
tructions by the suppliers of cables
and connection accessories during
installation and fitting operations,
− of any possible aggressive clima-
tic conditions (humidity, pollution,
etc.) acting in the immediate envi-
ronment of the materials that are
neither suitably adapted nor protec-
ted for these effects.
This user manual does not list the
locking−out procedures that must
be applied. The interventions des-
cribed are carried out on de−energi-
zed equipment (in the course of
being installed) or locked out (non
operational).
2.3 Reminder concerning normal service conditions (in accordance with IEC 60694)
* Permissible ambient temperature
The ambient air temperature should
be comprised between − 5°C and
+ 40° C.
The mean measured value for a 24
hour period must not exceed 35°C.
* Installation altitude
HV equipment is defined in accor-
dance with European Standards
and can be used up to an altitude
of 1,000 m.
Beyond this, account must be
taken of the decrease in dielectric
withstand.
For these specific cases, contact
the AREVA Sales Department
* Atmospheric pollution
The ambient air must not contain
any dust particles, fumes or smoke,
corrosive or flammable gases,
vapours or salts.
* Permissible atmospheric humidity level
The average atmospheric relative
humidity level measured over a
24−hour period must not exceed
95%.
The average water vapour pressure
over a period of 24 hours must not
exceed
22 mbar.
The average atmospheric relative
humidity value measured over a
period of one month must not
exceed 90 %.

3
The average water vapour pressure
over a period of one month must
not exceed 18 mbar.
Condensation may appear in case
of any sharp variation in tempera-
ture, due to excessive ventilation, a
high atmospheric humidity level or
the presence of hot air. This
condensation can be avoided by an
appropriate lay−out of the room or
of the building (suitably adapted
ventilation, air driers, heating etc.).
Whenever the humidity level is
higher than 95 %, we recommend
that you take appropriate corrective
measures. For any assistance or
advice, contact the AREVA After−
Sales department (See § 1.1).
2.4 Particular instructions for operations and interventions on energized equipment
When commissioning and opera-
ting the equipment under normal
conditions, the General safety
instructions for electrical applica-
tions must be respected, (protec-
tive gloves, insulating stool, etc.), in
addition to standard operating
instructions.
All manipulations must be comple-
ted once started.
The durations (for completing the
operations mentioned) given in the
maintenance tables are purely an
indication and depend on on−site
conditions.

5 Unpacking and installing the equipment
5.1 Type of Civil Engineering
The installation of a switchboard
requires a sufficiently flat and even
concrete structure. The dressing of
a top coat of cement using a rule
should eliminate any surface irregu-
larities greater than 2 mm per
metre.
A layout on iron supports for level-
ling off is ideal as they will also
serve as a guide for the adjustment
of the cement top coat.
The overall flatness of the support
surface should not show up any
deflection greater than 6 mm throu-
ghout the length of the switch-
board.
5.2 Unpacking the Functional Units
Proceed with unpacking the Functio-
nal Units only where they are to be
installed on site.
Tools required:
− Knife for road and rail
transport packaging
− Crowbar for air and sea
transport packaging
Use suitable protective gloves for
any handling operation.
5.3 Handling the Functional Unit
FRemove the protective plastic
cover.
FOpen the front panel:
1 − lift the panel
2 − pull the panel towards you.

2
FSpecial case of Functional Units
without an earthing switch.
Mark each panel in
accordance with the
corresponding Functional Unit.
For the PGB and PGC
Functional Units, remove
the wooden base without extrac-
ting the circuit breaker.
FRemove the mechanical control
hood (see the corresponding
manual § 2.5).
FLoosen the 2 CHC bolts.
FPivot the lug towards the right.
FRemove the front panel.
FRemove the 4 fixing screws
(16 mm spanner) from the
wooden base.
FFree the Functional Unit.
2 rear fixings
2 front fixings
FPlace the Functional Unit on the
ground.
FReplace the front panel

14
FFour fixed slinging points are
provided for on the roof of each
Functional Unit.
These lifting lugs
are to be removed when
the Functional Units are in the
immediate proximity of their
definitive installation.
FLift the Functional Unit by
4 slings each one capable of
supporting 1,000 kg.
FRespect the minimum carrying
height as shown on the above
diagram.
1 m min.
FSlide the Functional Unit along,
using three cylindrical rollers of
30 mm min. diameter.
FThus moving it to its final
installation place.
5.4 Installation of a switchboard
Please refer to the instructions in
the Civil Engineering Guide
(See § 2.5).
The limits of the civil engineering
layout depends on the type and
quantity of materials to be installed.
Position the cells whilst respecting
minimum clearance distances in
front of, behind and to each side of
the switchboard.
5.5 Installing Functional Units
For a switchboard composed of 1
to 8 Functional Units, it is advisable
to begin installing the equipment on
the side of the room opposite the
entrance.
For switchboards using more than
8 units, start by installing the equip-
ment to the middle of the switch-
board.
5.6 Revalorizing packaging waste
After unpacking, the materials
remaining (cover, wooden floor
panel, etc) should be sorted and
sent to the appropriate recycling
services.
