7. How to act after a short circuit
After a short circuit at a voltage level ≥ 6 kV it is possible that the blades do not retract by
themselves. In most cases this will not cause significant damage on the safety cutting unit.
When cutting a cable (e.g. NKBA or NEKEBA 95-120 mm²) which is accidentally live
with a nominal voltage exceeding 10 kV a earth contact with a light arc (not visible from
outside) occurs after 13 to 15 sec. After an other 0,4-17 sec a 2- respectively 3-pole short
circuit with an intensive light arc burning towards the outside occurs. With currents
exceeding 5 kA the cutting head melts and the blades and guidance will get heavily
damaged. With currents exceeding 10 kA the cutting heads will most likely be propelled
away from working site.
Give the cutting head time to cool down before you approach the working site respectively
the cutting head. This is of special importance if the cutting head was exposed to the light
arc during the complete short circuit.
After a short circuit damaging more than the blades of the cutting head the head must be
returned to the manufacturer for service.
8. Putting out of service/waste disposal
After many years of intensive use even a high quality pump has finally to be put out of
service.
The disposal of the various components of the tool have to be treated separately. Doing
that the first step is to dispose of the oil at special delivery points.
Attention
Hydraulic oils represent a danger for the ground water. Uncontrolled draining
of oil or improper disposal is under penalty of applicable environmental
liability laws.
The next move will be to dismantle the high pressure hose and dispose of the oil in the
hose with the oil in the pump. The emptied hose needs also to be disposed of at a special
delivery point.
The remaining parts of the unit must be disposed off according to the domestic
environmental laws.
Because of possible environmental damages we recommend to dispose of the tool by
professional companies.
Attention
Do not dispose of the unit in your residential waste because it will finally end up
on the waste dump which would be hazardous for the environment.
A return of the old tool free of charge to the manufacturer cannot be granted.
