Instruction manual BA 398/03 E
ABB Power Distribution

Your safety first – always!
That's why our instruction manual begins with these recommendations:
• Only install switchgear and/or switchboards in enclosed rooms suitable for

electrical equipment.
• Ensure that installation, operation and maintenance are carried out by
specialist electricians only.
• Comply in full with the legally recognized standards (DIN VDE / IEC), the
connection conditions of the local electrical utility and the applicable safety
at work regulations.
• Observe the relevant information in the instruction manual for all actions
involving switchgear and switchboards.
• Danger!
Pay special attention to the hazard notes in the instruction manual marked with
this warning symbol.
• Make sure that under operation condition of the switchgear or switchboard
the specified data are not exceeded.
• Keep the instruction manual accessible to all persons concerned with
installation, operation and maintenance.
• The user’s personnel are to act responsibly in all matters affecting safety at
work and the correct handling of the switchgear.
