2. Transport and storage
2.1 Condition on delivery
Delivery packing
UniSec is delivered either as a single unit or in
multiple switchgear units with a length of no more
than 2.0 m, and with the doors closed. The size of the
pack(s) depends on the number and type of units and
has to be defined separately in each case.
The factory-assembled units have been inspected by
the manufacturer in the factory for completeness in
terms of the order and, at the same time, subjected
to routine testing according to IEC publication 62271-
200 in order to verify correct construction and
functions.
The branch busbars are factory-assembled for each
unit. However, the main busbar connections between
different units must be carried out on site. The main
busbars and their accessories are packed separately
for delivery.
2.2 Unpacking at installation site
Storage and inspection
The UniSec switchgear must only be installed indoors.
It is therefore important to store the switchgear units
in their transport packing for as long as possible. Do
not store switchgear units outside.
The packs should only be opened to inspect for any
damage caused during transport. After inspection,
the packing should be restored to its original
condition.
NOTE
Any transport damage must be reported to the
carrier/forwarder immediately. If installation of
the switchgear is to be made immediately after
delivery, the transport packing must be removed,
except for the plastic vapour corrosion inhibitor
film covering the units, which must only be
removed at the final switchgear installation site
Unpacking
The UniSec units are fixed to the pallet using
separate fixing plates (2 plates on the back of the
unit) and bolts (2 bolts on the front of the unit)
inside the unit.
a) Remove the plastic film from the units.
b) Take off and dispose of the fixing plates and
bolts as these will not be needed.
c) The table shows a list of the packing materials
used for the switchgear units and their possible
recycling methods. Packing materials may vary
from case to case. The list gives an indication of
the possible packing materials.
