Our Field Service Engineers 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 switchgear Last week our team of Service Engineers completed maintenance and service on air circuit breakers at multiple South East Water sites. This maintenance of equipment is critical in ensuring optimum performance of assets and reduced failure and downtime at site. The SIM Switchgear Service Team completed the following examinations and tests on each ACB; - Examination of mechanical components - Degreasing, regreasing, and relubrication of mechanisms - Inspection of primary contacts - Testing of insulation resistance and conductivity - Integrated protection testing - Timing tests for circuit breaker closing and opening operations

Is your Asset Switchgear in a safe operating condition? Does it comply with the following published HSE Guidance? Circuit Breaker Testing and Switchgear Maintenance can be carried out to determine if all is within manufacturers tolerances and specifications. A range of testing on circuit breakers can be carried out to determine the overall health of your equipment and facilitate overall asset improvement which include but not limited too, dynamic timing checks, contact resistance, vacuum interrupt integrity and dielectric breakdown to name but a few. Most high voltage (HV) breakers installed today are of the SF6 type (now SF6 Free type), are highly mechanical devices that perform the function to open and close the breaker normal and fault current carrying contacts. Current interrupter design has become more simple and reliable compared with past predecessors but the mechanical operators remain very much the same concept and designs used in previous generations. Most HV breaker failures result from mechanical failures related to the operating mechanism. SIM Switchgear takes an experienced approach to inspection and testing of high voltage circuit breakers by performing inspections and tests on the entire breaker system, including mechanical and electrical components. Some of the tests SIM Switchgear will perform on HV breakers include: contact timing and travel analysis to measure contact operating & closing time and speed, close and open coil minimum voltage operations to identify latch lubrication problems, SF6 gas analysis on site to assess gas quality, contact resistance measurement to verify resistance is within recommended range, power factor and capacitance measurements to test grading capacitors and breaker insulation components, measurement of mechanical component performance such as close and trip dampers, and measurement of arcing contact length via dynamic contact resistance. You will find this information and the guidance published in the HSE documents to assist with answering the question of Is your Switchgear Safe to Operate.
