names mentioned within this document, whether they be copyright or not, belong to
their respective holders.
This User Manual applies to the PGCv Functional Unit. It is to be regarded as a
complement to the detailed general instructions given in document AMTNoT090-02.

Eco-design concept and valorization of the


materials
The design and manufacture of our packaging are both in conformity with the French
government decree N° 98-638 of 20 July 1998, concerning the account that is taken
of environmental requirements.

Particular instructions for operations and


interventions on energized equipment
When commissioning and operating the equipment under normal conditions, the
General safety instructions for electrical applications must be respected, (protective
gloves, insulating stool, etc.), in addition to standard operating instructions.
All manipulations must be completed once started.
The durations (for completing the operations mentioned) given in the maintenance
tables are purely an indication and depend on on-site conditions.

FLUOKIT M24+ Maintenance

General Instructions
The internal electrical connections as well as the adjustments to the control
mechanism are carried out at the factory and cannot be modified.

Never separate the control mechanism from the circuit breaker part.

General
Under normal installation and service conditions, the VEIVACUUM-L circuit breaker
does not require any maintenance:
■■ throughout the 25 years of its service life,
■■ as long as it has not reached the maximum number of operating cycles.

By cycle we mean a closing then an opening operation.

Preventive Maintenance
(refer to the instructions in User Manual AMTNoT090)
Carry out a few opening and closing operations of the circuit breaker with the manual
(and electrical) controls to ensure its correct operation (see page 5).
The outer surfaces of the circuit breaker must always be clean and dry.

Intervention levels
Definition Levels
Operations recommended in the instructions manual “installation - operation
- maintenance”, carried out by suitably qualified personnel having received 1
training allowing them to intervene whilst respecting the safety rules.
Complex operations, requiring specific expertise and the implementation of
support equipment in accordance with Schneider Electric’s procedures.
These are carried out by Schneider Electric or by a specialised technician, 2
trained by Schneider Electric in the implementation of procedures, and who
is equipped with specific equipment.
All preventive and corrective maintenance, all renovation and reconstruction

Identification and storage of the parts


For all orders for spare parts, it is necessary to enclose the equipment
characteristics form.

The components should be stored away from dust, humidity or the sun. In order to
facilitate their retrieval, they must be marked by the Schneider Electric reference
number.
Certain components are fragile, they should preferably be stored in their original
factory packaging.
