Receiving
Equipment packages
Every package leaving the factory is plainly marked
with the case number and customer's order
number. If the equipment has been split for
shipment, the section numbers of the equipment
enclosed in each shipping package are identified.
Notice:
To avoid the loss of any parts when
unpacking, the contents of each container should
be carefully checked against the packing list before
discarding the packing material.
The contents of each shipping package are listed
on the Master Packing List. In addition, this list
includes the number of the shipping crate in which
miscellaneous parts needed to install and operate
the equipment (such as hardware, contact
lubricant, touch-up paint, breaker closing devices,
etc.) are located. Normally, such devices are packed
in a cardboard carton and the carton secured in an
empty switchgear compartment. See Figure 02. If
such items are packed in a switchgear section
instead of a separate crate, the list will indicate
the appropriate section number in which they are
stored. Large items (such as breaker lifting devices
and dollies used with indoor equipment) will always
be shipped in separate crates or cartons.
See Figure 03.
Inspecting for damage
All equipment leaving the factory is carefully
inspected and packed by personnel experienced
in the proper handling and packing of electrical
equipment. Upon receipt of any equipment,
immediately perform a visual inspection to
ascertain if any damage has been sustained in
shipping or if there are any loose parts. Circuit
breakers may be shipped separately in individual
containers with the breaker in the open position.
Circuit breakers should be unpacked and visually
inspected for damage or loose parts as soon as
possible after they have been received.
Be sure to inspect all devices mounted or packed
inside compartments of each section to see if any
have been dislodged or damaged.
Filing a claim
If any damage is evident, or indication of rough
handling is visible, file a claim for damage at once
with the transportation company and notify your
ABB sales representative immediately. Information
on damaged parts, part number, case number,
requisition number, etc., should accompany
the claim.
