GE Information
Storage
The apparatus must be stored with its
transport packaging open whilst
placed on beams in a closed (indoor),
but ventilated, flood- proof place.
The operating device should be
stored in the same place as the
circuit- breaker, these
sub- assemblies being inseparable.
Check that the vacuum packaging is
leak- tight.
If this has been damaged, proceed as
follows :
S The operating device should be
placed so that air can enter through
the vents of the rear plate and side
panels.
S In order to prevent corrosion
damage due to formation
condensation, it is mandatory that the
heating circuit be switched on.
