Receiving check list
1.
_____ Inspect the unit for any signs of shipping damage.
2.
_____ Check the job specific drawings for the actual
weights of each shipping section. Verify that all handling
equipment is of adequate load rating to lift the shipping
sections.
3.
_____ Review the drive nameplate and verify that the
information on the nameplate matches the rating
specified on the order.
4.
_____ Open all doors and inspect equipment for any
bent, broken or loose components.
Long-term storage
If it is necessary to store an SC9000 EP AFD before
installation, restore the protective packaging for the storage
period and keep it in a clean, dry location with ample air
circulation and heat to prevent condensation. Like all
electrical apparatus, an SC9000 EP contains insulation and
electrical components that must be protected against dirt
and moisture. It is absolutely crucial that the drive will not
accumulate moisture. Special consideration must be taken
for the UPS battery in the control panel. Please refer to the
supplier’s specifications on long-term battery storage.
Storage temperature: –20 ºC to +65 ºC.
Handling
Exercise extreme care during any movement and placement
operations to prevent dropping or unintentional rolling or
tipping. The preferred method of handling is by crane or
forklift. See
Figure 4
and for instructions on lifting the drive
shipping sections by crane. The drive shipping sections
contain heavy equipment, such as transformers, that can
make the center of gravity vary considerably from the center
of the cabinet. Verify that the capacity of the crane is not
exceeded by the weight of the section being lifted.
●
Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for any
unequal distribution of load, and to maintain the shipping
section in an upright position. Some shipping section
interiors may contain heavy equipment that can make
the center of gravity be considerably off
●
Do not allow the angle between the lifting cables and
vertical to exceed 45 degrees
●
Do not pass ropes or cables through the lift holes
●
Use slings with safety hooks or shackles of adequate
load rating
●
Avoid pinch points
Refer to the job specific drawings for the diagrams showing
the proper lifting points of each shipping section.
The shipping section that contains the transformer can
alternatively be lifted by fork truck. The channels for lifting by
the fork truck can be exposed by removing the panel at the
front bottom of the shipping section. Verify that the fork
truck rating is not exceeded by the weight of this section.
A safety strap should be used when handling with a forklift.
Do not allow an end of a fork to enter the bottom of an open
bottom enclosure. Refer to
Tables 4
,
5
and
6
for the weights
of each shipping section.
