Despatch and storage

4
4.1 Condition on delivery
At the time of despatch, the ZS1 panels are
factory-assembled, the withdrawable parts inser-
ted into the service position and the doors closed.
The factory-assembled panels are checked at the
works for completeness in terms of the order and
simultaneously
(normally without AC voltage testing of the busbars)
to VDE 0670 part 6 or IEC publication 60298, and
thus tested for correct structure and function.
The busbars are not assembled. The busbar
material, fasteners and accesssories are packed
separately.
4.2 Packaging
According to the kind of transport and country of
destination, the panels remain unpackaged or are
welded in foil and packed in seaworthy crates. To
protect against moisture, a drying agent is
provided:
• Panels with basic packaging or without pack-
aging.
• Panels with seaworthy packaging or similar
(including packaging for containerized ship-
ments):
– Sealed in polythene sheeting,
– Transport drying agent bags included,
– Moisture indicator included,
– When aluminium composite sheeting is used,
a sight window is fitted for checking.
• Observe the directions for use of the drying
agent bags to DIN55 473. The following applies:
– Coloured indicator blue: contents dry,
– Coloured indicator pink: contents moist (rela-
tive humidity above 40%).
4.3 Transport
(Figure 4/1)
The transport units normally comprise individual
panels, and in exceptional cases small groups of
panels or panels assembled back to back. The
panels are each fitted with four lifting lugs.
Transport panels upright. Take account of the high
centre of gravity. Only ever carry out loading

subjected to routine
operations when it has been ensured that all
precautionary measures to protect personnel and
materials have been taken and using a
• crane,
• fork-lift truck and/or
• manual trolley jack.
Loading by crane:
• Fit lifting ropes of appropriate load capacity with
testing
shackles (opening width above 30 mm,
fastening bore diameter 30 mm)
• Maintain an angle of at least 60° from the hori-
zontal for the ropes leading to the crane hook.
4.4 Delivery
The responsibilities of the consignee when the
switchgear arrives at site include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Checking the consignment for completeness and
freedom from damage (e.g. also for moisture and
ist detrimental effects). in cases of doubt, the
packaging must be opened and then properly
resealed, fitting new drying agent bags, when
intermediate storage is necessary.
• If any short quantities, defects or transport
damages are noted:
– To be documented on the respective
shipping document.
– Notify the relevant carrier or forwarding agent
immediately in accordance with the relevant
liability regulations .
Note:
Always take photographs to document any major
damage.
4.5 Intermediate storage
Optimum intermediate storage as far as this is
necessary at all – without detrimental consequen-
ces depends on compliance with a number of
minimum conditions for the panels and assembly
materials
1. Panels with basic packaging or without
packaging:
• A dry well-ventilated store room with a climate
in accordance with IEC 60694.
• The room temperature must not fall below
-5° C.
• There must not be any other unfavourable
environmental influences.
