Section 2: Receiving, handling, and storing
2.1 Receiving
The equipment is shipped assembled in shipping sections/splits .
Depending on the length of the lineup, it may be necessary to
ship the equipment in several shipping sections/splits to facilitate
handling . Each shipping section/split is shipped bolted to a wooden
skid and covered with protective material .
A box(s) labeled “Installation Parts or Ship Loose Parts” is also
included . This box contains the packing list . The packing list identi-
fies all cartons and skids . Each carton and skid are labeled with the
shop order number and a shipping weight . Only accept items from
the shipping carrier if all the items described on the packing list have
been received . If the equipment has been damaged, file a claim
as soon as possible with the carrier and notify the nearest Eaton
representative .
2.2 Handling
The unit is equipped with insulated components for medium voltage
and must be protected against damage during handling . The control-
ler should always remain upright . Exercise extreme care during
any movement and placement operations to prevent dropping or
unintentional rolling or tipping . The preferred method of lifting and
maneuvering the shipping sections/splits into their final position is
with an overhead crane . Lifting angle of appropriate length is bolted
to the top of each shipping section . Lifting clip assemblies are used
to bolt the angle to the roof of enclosure units . Attach a 2-leg sling
with hooks to the lifting angle to lift or move the sections . Do not
allow the angle between the lifting cables and vertical to exceed 45
degrees . If a crane is not available, shipping sections/splits/skids
can be moved by use of rollers . However, safeguards need to be
put in place to assure that the equipment is not deformed during
maneuvering .
Each controller is properly adjusted at the factory before shipment .
However, vibration and mechanical stresses imposed by transit and
installation can adversely affect mechanical interlocks . Therefore, a
final inspection is essential before energizing .
