Introduction
The Task Manual has replaced the Work Instructions within the Distribution Division. This has been done
to assist the end users of these documents and the following is important to note:
•
The contents of a Task Manual are always linked to the requirements of one or more Job Plans. In
many instances only selected paragraphs / sections of the Task Manual will apply to a specific Job
Plan.
•
Task Manuals also form the main content of the training module for the task and therefore only people
who have attended the training and assessed as competent should be assigned the task as described
in the Task Manual.
This Task manual is the revision of the document that was initially compiled and titled CIRCUITBREAKERS: DELLE / ALSTOM, TYPE: HG 710 & HG 720, MECHANISM: BLR, BLRM & BLRME,
RATINGS: 33kV; 1250A to formalize the procedures of performing tasks when carrying maintenance tasks
out. The document includes the latest updates in information, format, diagrams to make the document
more user-friendly and safety precautions.
When downloaded from the DT WEB, this document is uncontrolled and the responsibility rests with the user

Mechanism
NOTE: The mechanism shall not be operated when it is not linked to circuit-breaker as this could lead to rupture or
complete destruction of some parts of the mechanism.
NOTE: When cleaning parts composing of sealed bearings (unless the bearings are to be replaced) with electrical
cleaner ensure that the solvent does not penetrate the bearing as it will dissolve and remove the bearing grease.
a)
Ensure that the circuit breaker is switched off and the mechanism is discharged (closing spring
is indicated as free) by manually OPENING, CLOSING and OPENING the circuit-breaker.
b)
If the circuit-breaker is closed "open-close-open" the circuit-breaker to discharge the springs and
if the circuit-breaker is open "close-open" to ensure that the springs are discharged.
c)
Loosen and remove the operating mechanism cover securing screws and remove the
mechanism cover (see figure 12).
Figure 12
d)
Clean dust and excessive grease deposits from the mechanism.
e)
Check and ensure that the trip and close plungers are free to move and are not bent.
f)
Inspect the operating mechanism parts (chains, cams, sprockets, lever, links etc.) for wear and
rust, and check the springs for rust and tension loss (deformation) (see figure 13).
g)
Replace the damaged parts with new ones, and lightly lubricate drive levers, sprockets, rollers,
drive chains etc with Vactra no 3 oil from Mobile (see figure 13).

Figure 14
NOTE: While cleaning and lubricating ensure that the cleaning materials and lubricants is prevented from going into
the auxiliary switches.
k)
Clean the terminal blocks and auxiliary contacts, check that all electrical connections are tight,
clean any oil drops on them and spray them with moisture repellent spray (see figure 15).
Figure 15
l)
To check the spring rewind motor brushes loosen and remove the brushes securing cap (on old
