5.2.2. TIGHTENING TORQUE OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The connections must be tight.

The tightening torques for the fuse bases, circuit breakers and the contactors are indicated in

Table 3 , Table 4

and

5.2.3. KEY POINTS FOR INSPECTING CONTACTORS

Check that the plastic parts are not blackened and do not show signs of burning or hardening.

Check that the head is properly inserted.

Check the tightness of cables and terminals, as shown in

Table 4

.

The terminals must be clean.

If the capacitor bank includes RD discharge resistors, check they are in good condition (that

they are not open or show signs of burning). (
