3 Receipt and storage prior to installation

3.1 Receipt of recloser

Each LV cabinet is assembled and tested at the
factory. Prior to shipment, the equipment is
thoroughly inspected to ensure a quality product
free from defects. If damage is noticed, call the
carrier at once for inspection, and request an
inspection report. Afterwards, file a formal claim
with the carrier, supported with the airway/
roadway bill.
Each delivery, on receipt, should be checked for:
• Shortages and discrepancies. (Check against
order and delivery documents.)
• Any transit damage or material losses.
Abnormality, if any, must be reported immediately
to ABB, forwarding agents and the insurance
company.
Instructions and literature packed with the LV unit
should be kept with the unit. Additional copies may
be obtained upon request from the local ABB sales
office. Following are the typical parts with which
reclosers are generally shipped from the factory.
Default shipment
Optional items
(only if ordered separately)

3.2 Storage of recloser LV unit

The LV cabinet with complete packing should
always be stored indoors to protect it from direct
sunlight, rain or snow. LV cabinets should be stored
in their original transport units, where they
are well protected from damage.
LV cabinets can be stored up to three months
from date of shipment from the factory. For longer
storage, the packing must be removed and the
recloser must be kept under controlled
environmental conditions.
We define storage in controlled conditions
as a location with:
• Leak-proof roof
• Solid, flat ground
• Relative humidity less than 50%
• Temperature 20 ˚C (+10 ˚C)
• The heating elements must be connected to the
electric supply to protect the control equipment
from corrosion or freezing damage.
IMPORTANT
The LV cabinet must be stored in the upright
position to avoid moisture accumulation.
Recommended storage temperature range
is 0 ˚C to +45 ˚C.
The LV control cabinet has rechargeable
batteries inside. A periodic check of battery
voltage (24 V) and periodic charging of the
batteries (typically every three months) may
be required in case of prolonged storage.
For the batteries in your control cabinet,
refer to technical documentation of the
Low voltage (LV)
control cabinet
respective battery manufacturer. In addition,
Mounting brackets
refer to the "inspection and maintenance"
Auxiliary power cable
section of this manual for more information.
(2 x 1.5 sq. mm)
Any additional spares
If the LV cabinet is not placed in service
immediately, it is essential that proper care be
exercised in handling and storage to ensure
good operating condition in the future. Please
consult ABB if the recloser will be in storage for
an extended period of time before installation.
