10. Application of the X-ray emission Standards One of the physical properties of vacuum insulation is the possibility of X-ray emission when the interrupter contacts are open. The specific tests carried out at the PTB laboratories (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, in Brunswick - Germany) show that local emission at a distance of 10 cm from the interrupter or pole surface, does not exceed 1 mSv/h.
All assembly operations of spare parts/accessories – 1VYN4000901-CR: Withdrawable circuit-breakers. must be carried out following the instructions enclosed with the spare parts, by ABB personnel or by suitably qualified customer personnel with in-depth knowledge of the apparatus (IEC 60694) and of all the Standards aimed at carrying out these interventions in safe conditions.
