4 Dispatch and storage
4.1 Condition on delivery
At the time of dispatch, the UniGear panels are
factory-assembled, the withdrawable parts are
in the test position and the doors are closed.
The factory-assembled panels are checked at the
works for completeness in terms of the order and
simultaneously subjected to routine testing
(normally without AC voltage testing of the
busbars) to IEC publication 62271-200, and are
therefore tested for correct structure and function.
The busbars are not assembled. The busbar
material, fasteners and accessories are packed
separately.
4.2 Packing
Available manners of packing:
•
Polythene foil - storage time 1/2 year in clean
and dry environment
•
OSB boards - storage time 1/2 year in outdoor
environment according to IEC
•
Wood boxes - storage time 1 year in outdoor
environment according to IEC
According to the kind of transport and country
of destination, the panels remain unpacked or
packed in seaworthy crates. A drying agent is
provided to protect them against moisture.
•
Panels with basic packing or without packing
•
Panels with seaworthy or similar packing
(including packing for containerised shipments):
-
Sealed in polyethylene sheeting

Transport drying agent bags included
4.3 Transport
The transport units normally comprise two
panels and, in exceptional cases, small groups of
panels. The panels are each fitted with four lifting
eyebolts.
