2.0 Storage Instructions
Upon receipt, immediately inspect busway components
for possible concealed damage from shipping and/or
handling. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the
carrier. If there is no damage, restore the packing to its
original condition to prepare for job site storage.
Store busway indoors in a clean and dry area. Protect
against mechanical damage and exposure to lime dust
(concrete), water, corrosive fumes or liquids and salts.
Failure to properly store and protect the busway can
cause damage and will void the warranty.
3.0 Preparing for Installation
Deliver busway to installation location before unpacking.
Shipping crates/cartons contain exterior identification of
the packaged busway components. Each busway com-
ponent is further identified by an item number located
on the nameplate, which corresponds to that same item
number on the busway installation drawing(s).
Inspect each busway component for possible damage.
Consult the factory. Confirm that contact surfaces are
not damaged and are clean and dry. Abrasives should
not be used on these surfaces because contact surfaces
are electroplated. Inspect joint insulators for cracking or
any sign of damage.
Megger each busway component at 1000 volts, phase
to phase and phase to ground, to verify insulation
integrity. Minimum readings should be no less than:
Megohms = 200 / length of run in feet
Or
= 66 / length of run in meters
If readings are below this minimum, do not apply power
to the installed busway and contact Siemens.
