Section 1 - Receiving, Handling and Storing
1.0 RECEIVING AND HANDLING
The circuit breakers may be shipped completely assem-
bled and inside their respective compartments.
Receiving and handling of this equipment is covered in
Eaton Instruction Book 32-690 for Low-Voltage
Metal-Enclosed Switchgear, Types DS and DSO.
If the circuit breakers are not shipped in the switchgear
assembly, they will be packed separately in individual car-
tons or crates. These packages must be handled with
care to avoid hidden damage to the circuit breakers.
If the circuit breakers have been shipped in the switch-
gear assembly, proceed as described in Section 2. If the
breakers have been shipped in separate packages, re-
move them from the crate or carton carefully so as not to
cause damage. Place the breakers on the switchgear
extension rails. (See Section 2.3 before attempting to lift
breakers.) Remove the insulating barriers and arc chutes.
Inspect the contact structures to be sure no damage has
occurred during shipment. Replace the arc chutes and
insulating barriers and proceed as described in Section 3.
1.1 STORING
If it is necessary to store the equipment before installa-
tion, keep it in a clean dry place, protected from dirt and
water and with ample air circulation and heat, if neces-
sary, to prevent condensation. Like all electrical appara-
tus, these units contain insulation. Although it is of
highest quality, it, like all other insulation, must be pro-
tected against dirt and moisture. Refer to Instruction
Book 32-690-C for details.
Note: Breakers that have been stored or have infre-
quent operations shall be operated a minimum of five
times before being placed in service.
1.2 WEIGHTS: CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSE
TRUCKS
Table 3 gives the approximate weights of DS and DSL cir-
cuit breakers. They will vary slightly due to the differ-
ences in functional components of the individual DS
Breaker, and the size of the current limiters supplied on
DSL Breakers. Fuse truck weights will vary due to differ-
ences of fuse sizes.
