RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE
R , H
ECEIVING ANDLING
ADVAC™ circuit breakers are subject to complete factory production tests and inspection prior to packaging and
shipment. The shipping package is designed to provide reasonable protection during shipment and to provide
convenient handling. Accessories such as charging handles and racking handles are shipped separately from the
circuit breaker.

ECEIVING
Immediately upon receipt of the circuit breakers, examine the cartons to determine if any damage or loss was
sustained during transit. If damage or indication of rough handling is evident, file a damage claim at once with the
carrier and promptly notify the nearest District Office. ABB is not responsible for damage of goods after delivery to the
carrier. However, ABB will lend assistance if notified of claims. Use care in unpacking to avoid damaging any circuit
breaker parts.
Unpack circuit breakers as soon as possible after receipt. If unpacking is delayed, difficulty may be experienced in
making a claim for damages not evident upon receipt. Check the contents of each carton against the packing list
before discarding any packing material. If any discrepancy is discovered, promptly notify the nearest District Office.
Information specifying the purchase order number, carton number and part numbers of damaged or missing parts
should accompany the claim.

ADVAC™ circuit breaker shipping containers are designed to be handled by a fork lift.
Once removed from the shipping container, the circuit breaker wheels are designed to move the breaker across a
smooth, paved surface.
Care must be taken not to damage the secondary locking tab (item 6, page Fig.5) when transporting, rolling, or
handling the ADVAC™ breakers.
DO NOT pull the circuit breaker by the front handles with the breaker in any position other than full disconnect.
S :
TORAGE
Circuit breakers should be installed in their permanent location as soon as possible. If the breakers are not placed in
service for some time, it is advisable to provide adequate means of environmental protection. This may be done by
keeping the breaker in its original shipping container and storing in a warm, dry and uncontaminated atmosphere.
The breakers should be stored to minimize condensation. Moisture can cause deterioration of metal parts and high
voltage insulation.
Prior to storage of the breaker, verification should be made that the breaker is free from shipping damage and is in
satisfactory operating condition.
The shipping containers provided are not designed for stacking.
