Storage

 

Note

Store the vacuum circuit-breaker module in the following condition:

OPEN switching position 

Closing spring discharged

 

Note

Risk of corrosion damage if stored improperly!

If the storage conditions listed below are met, the vacuum circuit-breaker module
can be stored for up to a year in its transport unit.

If the storage conditions are not met, the vacuum circuit-breaker module cannot
be stored in the transport unit any longer than 6 months.

If storage of longer than one year is planned, unpack the vacuum circuit-breaker
module from the transport unit. Further storage may necessitate fresh corrosion
protection, and it must be ensured that the vacuum circuit-breaker module cannot
be damaged.
