1 Safety Precautions

AQ1000 arc quenching device is intended for making low-impedance short circuit between all

the phases and ground, which is comparable to bolted short circuit to ground.

Installation shall not be done before the entire system has been verified to withstand bolted short

circuit. This verification shall include, but not limited to:

•Source transformers and generators

•PT’s, CT’s, VT’s

•Circuit breakers

•Busbars and cables

•Busbar insulators and supports

•Switchgear structure

During tripping, equipment can exceed noise level 85 dB(A). Wearing of hearing protection, is

recommended when making commissioning tests or when operating with the device.

Before installation, it shall be verified that there is no intentional live feed or un-intentional back

feed to the busbars.

Read these instructions carefully and inspect the equipment to become familiar with it before

trying to install, operate, service or maintain it. Electrical equipment should be installed,

operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. Local safety regulations should

be followed. No responsibility is assumed by Arcteq for any consequences arising out of the use

of this material. We reserve right to changes without further notice.

Device should not be removed, or any other service works done when the energy storage

component is charged. See chapter 3.1 Operating modes for more information regarding

operation.
