1.1 Operation
1.1.1 Type IST off-load isolator switchs are designed to provide a smooth,
Lightweight action requiring minimum maintenance.
1.1.2 The complete operating mechanism parts are sufficiently
Insolated from live parts, and grounded for the safety of the operator.
The operating mechanism shall be of robust,adjustable design with padlock facility in either the "OPEN" and "CLOSE" positions.
1.1.3 The complete operating mechanism are comed complete with an
Operating handle and shall be designed for steady manual operation
From ground level.
1.1.4 The insulation for the operating mechanism handle are sufficient
For the safety of the operations and preferably incorporated with an
Anti-slip grip.
1.1.5 The vertical drive rod is suitable length and shall be provided
With facilities to extend or reduce the length. Suitable couplings and operating rod guides shall be supplied with each operating mechanism.
1.1.6 If possible, it can be designed that the operating mechanism handle
use for both LEFT and RIGHT hand operations. The direction
Of the operations are clearly indicated on the operating mechanism.
1.1.7 Type IST off-load isolator switchs are designed to prevent unwanted
Operations such that:
1.1.7.1 Type IST off-load isolator switchs OPEN or CLOSE position are
remain constant despite:
a. forces arising from gravity,vibration or reasonable shock
b. accidental touching of the connecting rods or operating
devices
c. electromagnetic forces
1.1.1.1 Type IST off-load isolator switchs have provisions to prevent
Unauthorized operations
1.1.2 The OPEN or CLOSE position of the Off-Load Isolator Switch are
Easy to see from ground level by:
1.1.2.1 having a visible gap or isolating distance
1.1.2.2 having a reliable indicating device of the position of the movable
contacts.
1.1.3 Type IST off-load isolator switchs have adequate mechanical
Strength on its terminal to withstand the total forces,including
Wind loading and electromagnetic forces, related to its application
And rating,without reduction of its reliability or current carrying once
It has been installed vertically on single or H-pole structure.
1.2 Grounding
An earth terminal stud with a minimum size M12 shall be provided for the
Grounding of the operating mechanism, the terminal is marked with the
"earth" symbol.
