Storage

VacuFuse II Self-Resetting Interrupters are shipped
on pallets banded with plastic wrap. This packaging is
designed to protect the VacuFuse II interrupters from
freight damage. This packaging is not suitable for outdoor
storage because it can pool water and damage VacuFuse
II interrupters. After receipt, VacuFuse II interrupters
should be stored indoors in their shipping packaging.
Storing VacuFuse II interrupters outdoors in the shipping
packaging will void the warranty.

Returning

When returning the VacuFuse II Self-Resetting Interrupter
for any reason, place the VacuFuse II interrupter in
the original shipping carton to prevent damage during
shipment. If additional shipping cartons are required,
contact the nearest S&C Sales Office, S&C Authorized
Distributor, or S&C Headquarters.
