unit(RMU) and LV Sub-station cable distribution board (SCDB) (also known as FEEDER
PILLAR), HV & LV inter-connections, auxiliary equipment and circuits, in a single transportable
unit ready for operation on being placed in position and jointed into the network.
The DPS shall be able to provide a minimum service life of 30 years under the specified
environmental, climatic, system and service conditions specified, with minimum maintenance
requirements.
DPS are intended to install, outdoor, exposed to direct sunlight. However, each component or

All the switches shall be of the independent manual type i.e. a stored energy operation
where the energy originates from manual power, is stored and released in one continuous
operation, such that the speed and force of the operation are independent of the action of
the operator. It shall not be possible for the operating mechanism(s) to be left in such a
condition that any energy stored in the initial part of the operation remains in the spring
when the switch is in the 'ON', 'OFF', and 'EARTH ON' positions. In addition movement
of an operating handle against an interlock shall not charge any spring to any significant
extent.
Lockable storage facilities shall be provided for removable operating handles in a position
readily accessible from the front of the equipment.
It shall be possible to lock the operating mechanism(s) in any operating position and

captive device which can be padlocked and which shall be labelled 'MOVE BEFORE
EARTHING'. The same device must prevent operation from 'EARTH OFF' to 'ON' until
the device is removed.
Mechanical indication of the operating positions of the switches and circuit breaker shall
be provided.
The indicators shall be positively driven in both directions so as to show whether the
switch circuit breaker contacts are in the ON, OFF or EARTH ON positions. The
positions shall be clearly indicated and the indicators shall be inscribed.

OFF White Green
EARTH Black Yellow
ON
The height of the letters shall be approximately 10mm. Indication of only one of these
three positions shall be visible at any one time.
The direction of movement of any operating handle to attain any position shall be readily
apparent. A label for this purpose shall be provided on the fixed portion positioned close
to the midpoint of the operating stroke and shall incorporate arrows to indicate the
direction of movement to achieve the final handle position of the selected operation.
It shall not be possible to operate a non fault breaking switch from ON to OFF, or an
earth switch from EARTH ON to EARTH OFF for a minimum period of three seconds
subsequent to achievement of the ON or EARTH ON positions respectively. The

EARTH position.
ii) Movement from EARTH ON position with the test access open.
For circuit breaker transformer control:
i) Movement of the off, load selector from ON to EARTH ON, or from EARTH ON
to ON with the circuit breaker closed.
ii) Movement of the off load isolator from EARTH ON to ON with the test access
open.
iii) Opening of the access cover with the off-load selector not set to EARTH ON
position.
b) For Ring Switches:

The operation from ON to OFF or an earth switch from EARTH ON to EARTH OFF
for a minimum period of three seconds subsequent to achievement of the ON or
EARTH ON positions respectively. In addition it shall be necessary, before it is
possible to operate from OFF to EARTH ON to move a captive device which can be
padlocked and which shall be labelled MOVE BEFORE EARTHING. The same
