4. Storage

When a period of storage is foreseen, the origi-

nal packing must be put back. Store the

contactor in a dry dust-free area. It must not be

left outside or in adverse micro-climatic condi-

tions: if it is left without protection, rust and de-

terioration of the insulation can occur.

Insert special hygroscopic packets inside the

packing, with at least one standard packet per

piece of apparatus. Replace the packets ap-

proximately every 6 months.

Removal of the contactor from the packing and dismantling the lifting tools.

Should the original packing no longer be avail-

able and immediate installation is not possible,

store in a covered, well-ventilated, dry, dust-

free, non-corrosive ambient, with a dry atmo-

sphere, away from any flammable materials and

at a temperature between –5 °C and +40 °C.

In any case, avoid any accidental impacts or

positioning which stresses the structure of the

apparatus.
