Packing And Transport; Checking On Receipt; Storage - ABB VD4 Installation And Service Instructions Manual

1. Packing and transport

The circuit-breaker is shipped in special packing, in the open position
and with the spring discharged.
Each piece of apparatus is protected by a plastic cover to prevent any
infiltration of water during the loading and unloading stages and to
keep the dust off during storage.

2. Checking on receipt

Before carrying out any operation, always make sure
that the operating mechanism spring is discharged and
that the apparatus is in the open position.
On receipt, check the state of the apparatus, integrity of the packing
and correspondence with the nameplate data (see fig. 1) with what is
specified in the order confirmation and in the accompanying shipping
note.
Also make sure that all the materials described in the shipping note
are included in the supply.
Should any damage or irregularity be noted in the supply on unpacking,
notify ABB (directly or through the agent or supplier) as soon as
possible and in any case within five days of receipt.
The apparatus is only supplied with the accessories specified at the
time of ordering and validated in the order confirmation sent by ABB.
The accompanying documents inserted in the shipping packing are:
– instruction manual (this document)
– test certification
– identification label
– copy of the shipping documents
– electric wiring diagram.
Other documents which are sent prior to shipment of the apparatus
are:
– order confirmation
– original shipping advice note
– any drawings or documents referring to special configurations/con-
ditions.

3. Storage

When a period of storage is foreseen, our workshops can (on request)
provide suitable packing for the specified storage conditions.
On receipt the apparatus must be carefully unpacked and checked
as described in Checking on receipt (chap. 2).
If immediate installation is not possible, the packing must be replaced,
using the original material supplied.
Insert packets of special hygroscopic substances inside the packing,
with at least one standard packet for piece of apparatus.
Should the original packing not be available and immediate installation
is not possible, store in a covered, well-ventilated, dry, dust-free, non-
corrosive ambient, away from any easily flammable materials and at a
temperature between –5 °C and +45 °C.
In any case, avoid any accidental impacts or positioning which stresses
the structure of the apparatus.
