Vacuum integrity check, inspection and cleaning of breaker insulation.Checks of the stored energy operator mechanism.Regardless of the length of the maintenance and lubrication interval, Siemens recommends that circuit breakers should be inspected and exercised annually. Because of this, you are best served by adjusting maintenance and lubrication intervals based on your experience with the equipment in the actual service environment. The definition of 'usual service conditions' is subject to a variety of interpretations. Generally, 'usual service conditions' are defined as an environment in which the equipment is not exposed to excessive dust, acid fumes, damaging chemicals, salt air, rapid or frequent changes in temperature, vibration, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. 'Usual' and 'Unusual' service conditions for medium-voltage metal-clad switchgear (includes circuit breaker module) are defined in ANSI C37.20.2, section 8.1. When 3AH circuit breakers are operated under 'Usual Service Conditions,' maintenance and lubrication is recommended at 10 year intervals or at the number of operations indicated in the table below. Kits can be purchased by contacting Siemens Service Solutions Division at 1-80.
