Installation Instructions for SIS Bus Bar Systems A2MS001EN revision R05
21 / 130
Owner obligations
……………..………
The bus bar system is used in the commercial sector. The
owner of the bus bar system is thus subject to the legal
obligations for occupational safety.
In addition to the safety instructions herein, the regulations for
occupational safety and environmental protection, applicable for
the application of the bus bar system, must also be adhered.
In particular the following applies
:
The owner must familiarize himself with the applicable
occupational safety regulations, and also conduct a risk
assessment to determine additional risks that may arise due to
the specific working conditions at the place of use of the bus
bar system. These must be implemented in the form of
instructions for the operation of the bus bar system.
The owner must inform staff sufficiently about the possible
hazards which arise with the respective application of the bus
bar system and the respective safety measures.
During the entire operating time of the bus bar system, the
owner must check whether the operating instructions
established by the owner are in line with the respective current
applicable rules and standards, and he must adjust them if
necessary.
The owner must clearly organize and define the
responsibilities for installation and maintenance of the bus bar
system.
The owner must make sure that all personnel involved with the
bus bar system are provided with training at regular intervals,
and informed of the hazards.
The owner must provide staff with the required safety clothing
and equipment, and instruct them on the compulsory wearing
of the required safety equipment.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the bus bar system
is always in technically perfect working order. The owner must
therefore have the bus bar system checked regularly by
trained specialist staff to make sure it is fully functional and
complete.
Recommendation
:
– The owner is advised to carry out a high voltage test after
installation of the bus bar system to rule out the possibility
of
residual risks as a result of improper installation.
– The owner is advised to carry out a thermographic test
after initialization and during commissioning to check for
excessive heat generation.
The owner is also responsible for filling out the check lists (see
Appendix) after installation, and returning it to RITZ Instrument
Transformers GmbH.
If the check lists are not returned to RITZ Instrument
