Cabinets can be stored for up to one year in the original packaging as long as they are not
damaged or opened. For information on longer storage periods, contact the ABB service
organization.

Preparing cabinets for storage


If the drive is taken out of service for a longer time proceed as follows:
1. Cover all cable inlets and ventilation slots with an impermeable plastic or aluminum foil
and a wooden panel.
2. Add a desiccant of the appropriate quality:
•
1 unit desiccant (30 g) absorbs 6 g water vapor.
The following quantity is needed when using a polyethylene foil:
2
•
10 units/m foil
3. Close and lock the doors of the cabinet.
4. Use polyethylene or equivalent for packaging:
2
•
0,3 g/m /24 h water vapor diffusion
5. Attach humidity indicators to the packaging.
Check the storage conditions and the packaging regularly. Immediately repair any
damages that occur during the storage period.

Storage and handling instructions for spare parts


Electronic devices (e.g, circuit boards, power modules) are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD can damage these devices.
Apply ESD handling precautions before handling these devices.
Check the spare parts immediately after receipt for damages. Report any damage to the
shipping company and the ABB service organization.
