Manipulating
rod new development

Manipulating rod is aimed for more convenient connecting of measuring cable clips to inputs of the high-voltage equipment from 35 to 220 kV with height up to 5 m from the ground without using ladders and elevators in order to measure its technical characteristics.

The manipulating rod is designed in 3 measures up to the customer desire depending on the equipment applicable:

This new product is a universal additional accessory recommended to be added to complete set of all the SKB instruments.

Together with the instruments for circuit breakers control PKV/U3.1 and PKV/U3.0 we recommend to purchase manipulating rod aimed for cabels' poles connection from the ground or a tank cover without using ladders or elevators. You may need 6 pcs. of extension cable SKB010.41.08.000 (2 pcs. are included in the standard complete set).

Manipulating rod is recommended to be used together with micro ohmmeters and milli ohmmeter MIKO-21 and MIKO-2.3 for measuring cables connection from the ground or a tank cover to circuit breakers conductors and to other elements of HV disconnecting and grounding elements without using ladders or elevators for measuring transients electric resistance. You may need from 2 up to 6 pcs. of extension cable SKB010.41.08.000 (2 pcs. are included in the standard complete set).

If specialists use or plan to use mille ohmmeters MIKO-7 ( MIKO-7M), MIKO-8M or MIKO-9, manipulating rod shall be an essential accessory for connecting measuring cables from power transformer tank up to 220 kV to HV winding elements without using ladders or elevators for measuring active electric resistance and demagnetizing. You may need from 2 up to 4 pcs. of extension cable SKB010.41.08.000 (2 pcs. are included in the standard complete set).

Electrical personnel, certified not lower than the III group of electrical safety, having not lower than secondary education in the field of electrical engineering is allowed to work with the product.

• Use of manipulating rod is only allowed on switched off high voltage electric equipment
• When using manipulating rod it is important not to come close to the elements under the high voltage supply. It is vitally necessary to keep distance according to the "Rules on labor protection in the operation of electrical installations."

Manipulating rod is recommended to be stored and operated at a temperature range from -15 to + 40°C in the absence of impurities in the air, causing corrosion.

It is forbidden to use the rod in conditions of high humidity or rain.

Using the rod doesn’t cause any difficulties. It is important to follow the safety requirements and work according to the operating manual supplied together with the product.

Transportation of the manipulating rod during operation to the place of work and back is allowed in the case for the rod, as well as a bag for the rest of the elements.

Maintenance means periodic inspection of the product on a subject of elements damage.

• The damaged insulating rod (chips, cracks) should be replaced.
• The rest of the elements (depending on the damage) can be repaired on site.
