About this manual
This document is intended as a reference for qualified and trained operators to install the
medium voltage switchgear in a safe and economical way.
This document uses the term “medium voltage switchgear” to denote a random, but in
actual practice, existing combination of DR6 functions that, mutually coupled and
connected, constitute a client-specific transformation or distribution station. See: “General
description”.
The chapters and sections are numbered. The page numbers (consisting of the chapter
number and the page number) and the document code can be found at the bottom of
every page.
In the documentation the words “left”, “right”, “front” and “behind” are used to indicate a
specific part of the medium voltage switchgear. The starting point is always the position of
the operator, standing in front of the medium voltage switchgear, facing the switchgear.
