General check for humidity. To do this, open the high-voltage door of the switching-
device compartment of every third panel and check the switching-device compartment
for humidity or condensation.
If there is humidity or condensation inside a switching-device compartment, determine
the cause thereof. To do this, do also observe the climatic conditions of the switchgear
room, and arrange for suitable measures such as room ventilation or room heating.
General check for partial discharge noises. If there are any partial discharge noises,
determine the cause thereof and take adequate countermeasures.
Check whether the accessories are complete.
