1. Despatch and storage
− The transport units are the panel blocks.
− Always handle the panel blocks in the upright position.
− Take account of the weight of the transport units when
selecting the handling equipment.
Due to the high centre of gravity of the panel blocks,
there is a risk that the transport units may tip over! Take
all precautions to protect personnel and the materials
transported.
Only ever handle the panel blocks by
− fork lift truck,
− trolley jack,
− crane, or
− hydraulic lift trolley.
1.2 Delivery
The panel blocks have been prepared for transport by the agreed
method and for the desired duration of any interim storage re-
quired. Details of the length of preservation and the storage loca-
tion (indoors or outdoors) can be found in the order documents. If
the panel blocks are packaged, they are mounted on a pallet and
secured to prevent them from slipping.
The possible packaging methods are as follows:
− No packaging
− Packaged in plastic sheeting
− Packaged in plastic sheeting and surrounded by protective
cardboard
− Heat sealed in plastic sheeting with drying agent enclosed
− Packaged in aluminium foil in transport crate with drying
agent enclosed
− The panels have been assembled into system blocks ready
for operation.
− The panel blocks have been routine tested to IEC 62271-
200.
− The busbar sockets are sealed with plastic film to protect
them during transport.
The busbar sockets are not shockproof in this
transport condition. Do not operate the switchgear
with sealed busbar sockets (e.g. on extendable end
panels). Close off unused busbar sockets with shockproof
blanking plugs (see section 2.3.3).
− In normal cases, the gas compartments have been filled
with sulphur hexafluoride (SF
6
) insulating gas to the rated
filling pressure. When airfreighted, however, the panel
blocks are delivered with reduced pressure.
− If delivered by airfreight, increase the pressure to the
rated filling pressure before installing the panels (see
instruction manual HB 605 E for the procedure to be
adopted).
− The installation material and accessories and the docu-
mentation are packaged separately from the panel blocks.
Check the consignment for completeness and freedom from dam-
age. Document any transport damage found on the waybill and
inform us of it immediately. Take photographs of the damage.

1.4 Handling
1.4.1 Handling by fork lift truck
or
trolley
jack
The panel block must be standing on a pallet. The pallet
must rest fully on the forks of the truck or jack. The high
centre of gravity means there is a high risk of tipping.
Avoid jerky motions.
