1.0 SCOPE
This Distribution Maintenance Manual (DMM-02-02) provides precise and
adequate information on the planned Inspection/Maintenance of 11/13.8KV
RMU switchgear.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Preventive Maintenance is the practice of conducting routine inspections,
tests, and the servicing of power distribution facilities, consistent with good
economics, so that impending faults can be detected and reduced or
eliminated. Whilst equipment deterioration is normal, equipment failure is
not inevitable. As soon as new equipment is installed, the process of normal
deterioration starts. Unchecked, the deterioration can cause malfunction or
an equipment failure. A preventive maintenance program identifies and
recognizes these factors and provides measures for coping up with them.
This manual will cover three types of RMU switchgear: oil insulated, gas
insulated and air insulated.
6.8 Gaskets:
• Check all gaskets and replace as required to prevent leakage of oil.
• Use dry gaskets coated with gasket sealing compound for proper
sealing.
6.10 Greasing:
• All padlocks and hinges should be lubricated.
• All should be cleaned and wiping with grease (especially with
ELBOW Termination).
6.14 Insulators:
• Check if there is any crack in the insulators of moving and fixed
contacts, or bus bars.
• Re- fix all insulators wherever needed.

Also, the fuse chamber cover can not be closed if any of the fuse
chamber plugs is not in its place.
Both main and earthing switch positions are shown on the same
position indicator (for Ring and Tee-Off circuits). Following table

• Return the fuse back into the clamp of the bottom of the
chamber ensuring the following:
1. Rating of the fuse must be matching with the Transformer
size.
2. Both centering devices should be fixed.
3. Direction of the striker pin must be towards tripping
mechanism
• Close the fuse plug
• Repeat for other phases
