Breaker Test Cabinet
Section 1. Introduction (cont.)
Some users may require additional assistance from GE in
the planning and performance of maintenance. GE can
be contracted to either undertake maintenance or to
provide technical assistance such as the latest
publications.
The performance and safety of all equipment may be
compromised by the modification of supplied parts or
their replacement by non-identical substitutes. All such
design changes must be qualified to ANSI/IEEE Standard
C37.59.
The user should methodically keep written maintenance
records as an aid in future service planning and
equipment reliability improvement. Unusual experiences
should be promptly communicated to GE.
Section 2. Receiving, Handling and Storage
2-1 Receiving
Each test cabinet is carefully inspected before shipment.
Immediately upon receipt of the test cabinet, an
examination should be made for any damage sustained in
transit. If damage or rough handling is evident, a damage
claim should be filed immediately with the transportation
company and the nearest General Electric Sales Office
should be notified.
It is expected that due care will be exercised during the
unpacking and installation of the test cabinet so that no
damage will occur from careless or rough handling, or from
exposure to moisture or dirt.
2-2 Handling
Normal care in handling the test cabinet will result in a
trouble-free installation and long testing life.
2-3 Storage
It is recommended that the test cabinet be put immediately
in its permanent location. If this is not possible, the following
precautions should be taken to assure proper storage of the
test cabinet.
1.
The test cabinet should be stored in a clean location,
free from corrosive gases or fumes; particular care, for
example, should be taken to protect the equipment
from moisture and dust, as this combination has a very
corrosive effect on many parts.
2.
If the test cabinet is stored for any length of time, it
should be inspected periodically to see that rusting has
not started and to insure good mechanical condition.
Should the cabinet be stored under unfavorable
atmospheric conditions, it should be cleaned and dried
out before being placed in service.
