3.5.2 Lifting
When an XGIS vertical section is ready for installation, an overhead
lifter or portable floor lifter can be used to move the vertical section
in conjunction with the Eaton top lifting bracket.
When a vertical section is to be lifted, position the lifter over the
vertical section and insert hooks into the vertical section top lifting
bracket’s holes. Once the lifting hooks are securely seated in the
lifting bracket holes, the vertical section can be carefully lifted and
moved. Lifting chains should each be of equal length, at least 1
meter long each.
3.6 Storage
If the XGIS vertical section is to be placed in storage, maximum
protection can be obtained by keeping it packed as shipped. Before
placing it in storage, checks should be made to make sure that the
vertical sections are free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory
operating condition.
The storage area where XGIS vertical sections are stored must be
clean, dry and well-ventilated, with an interior temperature of no less
than 23o F. (-5o C.) Check the area periodically for condensation.
Store the vertical section packages upright, and do not stack them.
Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient heat and air
circulation to prevent condensation. If the building is not heated, the
same general rule for heat as for outdoor storage, as noted below,
should be applied.
Outdoor storage of the switchgear element is NOT recommended.
If unavoidable, the outdoor location must be well drained and
sheltered from sun, rain, snow, corrosive fumes, dirt, falling objects
and excessive moisture. Containers should be arranged to permit
free circulation of air on all sides and temporary heaters should be
used to minimize condensation. Moisture can cause rusting of metal
parts and deterioration of medium-voltage insulation. A heat level
of approximately 400 watts for each 100 cubic feet of volume is
recommended with the heaters distributed uniformly throughout the
structure near the floor.
