1 Summary
1.1 General

Earthing switches of series EK6 are determined
for indoor installation and conform to the require-
ments of VDE 0670 part 2 and IEC publication
60129.They are fitted with snap-action operating
mechanisms for positive high-speed closing and
sufficiently dimensioned to conduct the rated short-
circuit making current when closed under load.
The speed of the snap-action closing operation is
independent controls.
The earthing switches are supplied as kits with
a pre-assembled active part and corresponding
earthing contacts supplied loose. Correct install-
ation of these parts in a switchgear panel results
in a functioning earthing switch.
Routine tests to VDE 0670, Part 2 or IEC 60129 arc
to be carried out at site accordingly.

3 Structure and function
Earthing switches of series EK6 have three pairs
of earthing blades which are located on the
operating shaft and are freely movable. The pairs
of earthing blades are electrically connected to
each other by a short-circuiting bridge and to
earth potential at the bearing brackets by two
stranded copper conductors. Driver levers and
toggle springs located between the bearing
brackets are used to transmit the force during
the switching process. Fixing the active part on a
torsionally rigid switchgear panel wall or cross-
beam provides it with the necessary stability.
The earthing contacts designed to suit the rele-
vant switch type are to be bolted to the conductor
bars supported on suitable insulating parts, e.g.
pintype insulators or current transformers, on the
opposite side and parallel to each other, and the
position adjusted until it conforms to that show in
the dimensional drawings.
The earthing switch has a snap action closing
mechanism which functions independently of the
rotation of the drive shaft. The switching speed
and torque achieved in this process are indepen-
dent of the actions of the operating mechanism.
In the opening process, in contrast, the toggle
springs have no effect on the speed of contact
separation.
A ring lever or suitable manual or motorized
operating mechanism with the necessary torque
for the type of switch and an operating angle 90O
can be fitted for operation of the switch.
Note:
Always open earthing switches by turning until
the stop is reached.
The earthing switches can also be fitted with an
auxiliary switch for annunciation purposes.

4 Instalation
When installing earthing switches in switchgear
panels, the following details must be taken into
account if perfect switching functions etc. are to
be achieved:
• The active part of the earthing switch is
supplied in the open position and with pre-
tensioned toggle springs.
• The earthing switch can be installed in any
position.
• Do not operate the switch without earthing
contacts!
• Install the active part and earthing contacts
without stress or distortion and parallel to each
other on a torsionally rigid and flat panel wall/
crossbeam and conductor bar respectively.
• Precisely maintain the spatial/dimensional
position of the earthing contacts relative to the
active part as shown in the dimensional drawing
for the relevant switch type.
• Only use insulated mountings with a cantilever
strength equivalent to a cast resin pin type
insulator to DIN 48136:
– For switches to dimensional diagram GCEM
360524, sheets 1 and 2 and GCEM 700092,
sheets 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9: Form B, 12 kV or
24 kV, 7.5 kN
– For switches to dimensional diagram GCEM
700059, sheet 1: Form C, 12 kV, 16 kN
• Fit the operating mechanism.
• The operating shaft can be moved after the two
setting rings have been released. Observe the
tightening torque of 4 Nm for the M6 threaded
pins.
• Adjust the motion sequence of the earthing
blades in relation to the earthing contacts as
follows:
1. Grease the contact areas.
2. Close the switch with the fixing bolts in the
earthing contacts loosely tightened.
3. Check that the blade pairs are properly
located on the contact tongues of the
earthing contacts and adjust if necessary.
4. Tighten the fixing bolts and carry out a test
switching operation.
5. Maximum permissible deviation between the
central position of the earthing blades and the
contact tongues of the earthing contacts:
• ≤ 1 mm for switches to dimensional
diagram GCEM 360524, sheets 1 and 2,
and GCEM 700092, sheets 1, 2, 5, 6, 8
and 9
• ≤ 0.6 mm for switches to dimensional dia-
gram GCEM 700059, sheet 1.
Measuring Point: Clearance between the
earthing blades and the contact tongues
during opening.
Take care when handling the switch!
6. Irrespective of the routine testing of the
relevant switchgear panels/switchboard to
VDE 0670, Part 6 or IEC 60298, the earthing
switch is to be subjected to routine testing in
accordance with VDE 0670, Part 2 or IEC
60129 on completion of installation.
• Check for unimpeded function of the high-
speed switching system when the switch
has been installed without stress or
distortion.
• Check the tightening torque for the M 12
hexagon nut on the short-circuiting bridge,
possibly removing a pair of earthing blades
to provide access. This torque is important
for correct function!
Rated tightening torque:
– without lubricant: 86 Nm
– with oil or grease lubricated: 40 Nm.
• Bolt the copper earthing conductors to the
bearing brackets and connect the other
ends to the switchboard earthing bar.
• Perform at least 20 mechanical opening
and closing operations on the earthing
switch after completion of installation.
Auxiliary switches:
• Auxiliary switches on the side wall of the
switchgear panel:
– 2 x 5 pole auxiliary switches:
GCE 8282292R0101
(contact arrangement as per order)
– Signalling of open and closed positions
– Operation by rod mechanism (engages
with M 12 threaded bar)
• Auxiliary switches on the rear wall of the
switchgear panel:
– S1 + S2 (2 NCC + 2 NOC = 2 change-
over): GCE 7169 272 R0108
– S1 + S2 + S3 (3 NCC + 3 NOC = 3 change-
over): GCE 7169 272 R0107
– Signalling of the closed position only.

5 Maintenance
Closing of the switch several times under load
conditions (maximum loading two closing oper-
ations at 100 % of the rated short-circuit making
current) makes inspection and possibly mainten-
ance necessary. The electrical and mechanical
functions of the switch must not be adversely
affected, and only slight contact welding is
permissible. The pairs of earthing blades and the
earthing contacts should be replaced if necessary.

Otherwise, it is advisable to carry out inspection

and maintenance of the earthing switches at
appropriate intervals together with the switch-
board, particularly in exceptional operating con-
ditions and/or under adverse environmental in-
fluences such as pollution and aggressive air:
• Check whether the operating mechanism func-
tions smoothly and easily.
• Carry out general visual examination for the
condition of mechanical fasteners, dirt, moisture
and corrosion.
• Remove any dust deposits on insulating parts
with a dry, non-fraying cloth (do not use cleaning
wool).
• Regrease the mechanically movable parts and
contacts (applying grease thinly) using Isoflex
Topas NB 52 lubricant, ABB part number
(ordering reference)GCE0007249P0100.
• Take into account the details given in section 4 in
as far as these are relevant to the work.
