66 Maintenance instructions AD4 unit Replacing the VPIS (voltage presence indicating system) Extract the VPIS box and disconnect the connector at its rear. Replacing the VT fuses Starting conditions Earthing switch in open position (see page 54). VT fuses in drawn-out position (see page 56). Operations In order to replace the fuses follow this procedure: - Remove the two socket head bolts securing the access door by using the operating crank. - Open the access door. - Remove the caps from the fuse holders by turning them counter-clockwise. - Replace the fuse inserting the new fuse so that the striker is turned towards the front of the unit. Note The VT fuses can be replaced without putting out of service the unit. The front door of the VT compartment can be safely opened with the earthing switch in open position. In fact, the VT truck remains fixed to the unit as long as the earthing switch is in open position. Only by closing the earthing switch the VT truck is unlocked and can be removed from the unit. Restoring to service conditions Carry-out in inverse order the sequence described. - Insert the VT fuses (see page 55) EN indice: D0

67 Maintenance instructions DI4 unit Replacing the VPIS (voltage presence indicating lamps) - Remove manually the indicating lamps from their place. - The switchboard can remain energised. - Install the new lamps by pushing them in position. Replacing VT fuses Starting conditions - Unit de-energised. - Switch-disconnector in open position (see page 52). - Earthing switch in closed position (see page 54). - Open the door to get access to the fuses. IMPORTANT NOTE: according to CEI it is recommended to replace all the three fuses even if one single fuse has burst. How to remove the fuse Remove the fuse from the upper field control screen. Remove completely the fuse from the upper end. Install FUSARC type fuses with medium type striker pin according to IEC and DIN For different types of fuse, please contact. The striker end of the fuse is marked. - The fuse characteristics and direction of mounting are printed on the fuse. The striker end shall be the upper one. - Turn the fuse so that the label is on the front EN indice: D0-65

68 Maintenance instructions - Fuses should never be held in the middle. - Open the upper field control screen by using the top end of the fuse. - Insert the bottom end of the fuse into the lower fixed contact. - Then fit the top of the fuse in the upper contact and check that the field screen is properly closed EN indice: D0
