2.0 Receipt & Storage prior to installation
2.1 General
The breaker with complete packing should always
be stored indoor to protect from direct sunlight
& rain/snow.
Breakers can be stored upto 3 months from date
of shipment from the factory. For longer storage,
the packing needs to be removed and the breaker
be kept under controlled environmental conditions.
