2.3 Storing equipment
Equipment contains insulating materials, electrical contacts, and
operating mechanisms which must be protected against dirt, mois-
ture, dust, foreign materials, corrosive atmospheres, and extreme
temperature changes .
If it is necessary to store the equipment before installation, it would
be advisable to place the equipment indoors in a controlled environ-
ment on a true and level surface to reduce strain and distortion in
the equipment .
