KS 1859-5:2010 4.30.7 Returning a bus bar or section of a busbar equipped with a bus coupler or bus section breaker to service 4.30.7.1 Hand back busbar or section of busbar to control centre. 4.30.7.2 Remove all earths. 4.30.7.3 Specify number of earths. 4.30.7.4 Check breakers to be opened. 4.30.7.5 Close isolators on either side of the breaker. 4.30.7.6 Switch on overcurrent and earth-fault protection, where applicable. 4.30.7.7 Close breaker. 4.30.7.8 Switch off overcurrent and earth-fault protection. 4.30.7.9 Link over required panels. 4.30.7.10 Switch on supervisory. 4.30.7.11 Check that all alarms are clear. 4.30.8 Load transfer, isolating or energizing a section of a busbar without a bus coupler or bus section breaker Owing to different technologies and busbar configurations, all operating on unique plant shall be in accordance with local operating procedure. 4.31 Requirements for handing over and handing back apparatus 4.31.1 After the apparatus has been earthed in accordance with KS 1859-3, it shall be handed over to the authorized person. The authorized person shall be responsible for safety testing and for the application and removal of working earths when and where necessary on lines only. The authorized person shall write out the hand over or hand back on an operating instruction form together with the time handed over and time handed back on completion of work. All normal open points that are excluded should, where applicable, be recorded as part of the hand over. 4.31.2 After a line has been opened, isolated and earthed in accordance with KS 1859-3 between two contral centres, an "intercontral" hand over shall take place. In other words the contral centres shall hand over the line to each other for safety purposes irrespective of whether the contra I centre has work to be done. This is also applicable when working with customers that have recognized control centres. 4.32 Control functions after hand over 4.32.1 The intercontrol hand over shall be recorded in both network management centres' operating logs. 4.32.2 The operating diagrams shall be dressed with the appropriate hand-over labels (i.e., intercontrol or the authorized person's name). 4.32.3 The symbols used for dressing the operating diagram shall depend on local requirements. When lines have been handed out between control centres (i.e., intercontral hand over) the lines shall only be handed back when they are ready to be made live and not when work has been completed, i.e., all authorized persons have to hand back first. 12 KEBS 2010 All rights reserved
