3.3. Storage
when a period of storage is foreseen, our workshops can (on
request) provide suitable packing for the specified storage
conditions.
On receipt the apparatus must be carefully unpacked and
checked as described in Checking on receipt.
If immediate installation is not possible, the packing must be
replaced, using the original material supplied.
Insert special hygroscopic substances inside the packing,
using at least one standard packet per piece of apparatus.
Should the original packing not be available and immediate
installation is not possible, store in a covered, well-ventilated,
dry, dust-free, non-corrosive ambient, away from any
flammable materials and at a temperature between – 30 °C
and + 45 °C.
Circuit breakers should be installed in their permanent
location as soon as possible. If the circuit-breakers are not
placed in service for some time, it is advisable to provide
adequate means of environmental protection. This may be
done by keeping the circuit-breaker in its original shipping
container and storing it in a warm, dry, and uncontaminated
atmosphere. The circuit-breakers should be stored to
minimize condensation. Moisture can cause deterioration of
metal parts and high voltage insulation.
Prior to storage of the circuit-breaker, verification should
be made that it is free from shipping damage and is in
satisfactory operating condition.
THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS PROVIDED
ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR STACkING.
