SECTION 3: RECEIVING, HANDLING AND
STORAGE
VCP-TL and VCP-TRL circuit breakers are subjected to
complete factory production tests and inspection before
being packed. They are shipped in packages designed
to provide maximum protection to the equipment during
shipment and storage and at the same time to provide
convenient handling.
3-1 RECEIVING
Until the breaker is ready for use, it is best NOT to
remove it from its container. If the breaker is to be
placed in storage, maximum protection can be obtained
by keeping it packed as shipped.
Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the containers
for any signs of damage from rough handling and/or
external damage incurred during the transportation
phase. Record any observed damage for reporting to
the transportation carrier and EATON. All reports should
be as specific as possible and include the order number
and other applicable nameplate information.
Every effort is made to ensure that circuit breakers
arrive at their destination undamaged and ready for
installation. Care should be exercised, however, to
protect the breakers from impact at all times. Do not
remove protective packaging until the circuit breakers
are ready for inspection, testing and/or installation.
3-2 HANDLING
WARNING
DO NOT USE ANY LIFTING DEVICE AS A PLAT-
FORM FOR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
OR ADJUSTMENT OF THE BREAKER, FOR
OPENING OR CLOSING THE CONTACTS OR
CHARGING THE SPRINGS. THE BREAKER MAY
SLIP OR FALL CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY. ALWAYS PERFORM MAINTENANCE,
REPAIR AND ADJUSTMENTS ON A WORKBENCH
CAPABLE OF SUP-PORTING THE BREAKER.
Shipping containers are designed to be handled either
by use of a sufficiently strong rope sling and overhead
lifting device or by a fork lift truck. If containers must be
skidded for any distance, it is preferable to use roller
conveyors or individual pipe rollers.
3-2.1 UNPACKING
Before beginning to unpack new circuit breakers, read
and understand the directions. Unpacking a fixed circuit
breaker is described in the next paragraph in detail.
Unpacking a drawout circuit breaker is also simple to
accomplish and is not described here in detail. Just
proceed by carefully removing all packing material used
for protection during shipment and the fasteners used to
secure the drawout circuit breaker to its shipping pallet.
When ready to inspect and install the circuit breaker,
carefully remove any banding straps and lift off the card-
board box. Remove any additional packing material and
internally packed documentation. The circuit breaker is
mounted to a wooden shipping pallet. A keyed metal
clamp is used on each side of the circuit breaker to hold it
to the wooden pallet (Figure 3-1). Remove the screws
from the wooden pallet on each side and lift up and out
on the keyed metal clamps for removal (Figure 3-2). The
circuit breaker is now ready to be removed from its ship-
ping pallet. Save all shipping hardware and packaging
material for any future shipments of the circuit breaker.
3-2.2 LIFTING
To closely examine, install or just become familiar with
the circuit breaker, carefully lift and place the circuit
breaker on a solid work surface capable of handling the
circuit breaker's weight (Table 3.1). The circuit breaker
is provided with two integrally mounted lifting hooks for
use with a standard sling (Figure 3-1). Once the sling is
properly placed, the breaker can be carefully lifted and
moved using an overhead lifter or portable floor lifter.
Every effort should be made to minimize circuit breaker
swing or tilt.
