Section 3: Receiving, handling and storage
3.1 General
Type XGIS switchgear is subjected to complete factory production
tests and inspection before being packed. XGIS vertical sections are
shipped in packages designed to provide maximum protection to
the equipment during shipment and storage and at the same time
to provide convenient handling. Tools, such as the T-handle tool for
manual 3PDS operation, and an Allen wrench for attaching voltage
transformers, are shipped separately.
All SF
6
tanks are shipped with the gas filled at rated pressure, with
desiccant pouches inside the tank for interior moisture control. All
vertical section-mounted power cable connectors are shipped with
dust-proof caps installed.
3.2 Receiving
If an XGIS vertical section is not to be used immediately but is to be
placed in storage, maximum protection can be obtained by keeping
it packed as shipped.
Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the vertical sections for any
signs of damage or rough handling. The vertical sections should have
been shipped in their upright position, as indicated on the shipping
materials.
Open the vertical sections carefully to avoid any damage to the
contents. Use a nail puller rather than a crow bar when required.
When opening the containers, be careful to save any loose items
or hardware that may be otherwise discarded with the packing
material. Check the contents of each package against the packing
list.
Examine the XGIS element for any signs of shipping damage such as
broken, missing or loose hardware, damaged or deformed insulation
and other components. File claims immediately with the carrier if
damage or loss is detected and notify the nearest Eaton office.
3.3 Handling
The XGIS vertical section may be top heavy and subject to tipping
danger.
Walking on or placing heavy objects on the vertical section top is
prohibited.
Depending on the shipped vertical section weight, use one of the
following to transport the vertical sections:
•
Fork lift
•
Crane
If using a fork lift, care must be taken to move the vertical section
on its pallet, with the vertical section fully supported by the fork lift
forks. Partial support of the vertical section may result in vertical
section tilting with risk of falling over.
Avoid the use of abrupt movements of the vertical sections, to avoid
equipment damage.
If using a crane, use a spreader bar rated for XGIS vertical section
for lifting with the side mount lifting angles.
3.4 Unpacking
Contact Eaton for more information.
3.5 Lifting vertical sections
3.5.1 Lifting brackets attachment
A top lifting bracket ( Figure 68 below) is available, and shall be
attached to any XGIS vertical section ( Figure 69 below) to enable the
section to be lifted from the top.
The front of the bracket attaches to the rear of the LV
compartment using (5) M10-1.25 x 25 lg SHCS, M10 wide washer
( Figure 70 ). The rear of the bracket attaches to the rear panel of the
upper assembly using (5) M10-1.25 x 25 lg SHCS, M10 wide washer
( Figure 71 ).
