Packaging; Transport; Delivery; Intermediate - ABB VM1 Instruction Manual

4.2

Packaging

The switching devices are mounted individually on
a wooden pallet and sealed in film and/or packed in
cardboard for delivery.
Packaging for overseas shipment:
• Drying agent bags inserted in the film sealed
packaging.
4.3

Transport

Loading of the package units must only be carried
out with a
• crane,
• fork-lift truck and/or
• trolley jack.
Notes:
• Avoid impact during handling.
• Do not subject to other damaging mechanical
stresses.
• Lifting gear must not be attached to the breaker
poles or parts of the operating mechanism.
Use lifting bores 1.2 and lifting lugs, e.g. in figure
9/13 and in the dimensional drawings.
4.4

Delivery

The duties of the consignee on receipt of the
switching devices at site include the following:
• Checking the delivery for completeness and
freedom from damage (e.g. moisture and its
adverse effects).
• Any short quantities, defects or damage in
transit:
– Must be precisely documented on the
consignment note.
– The shipper/carrier
immediately in accordance with the liability
provisions of the German general conditions
for forwarders (ADSp/KVO).
Note:
Always document any major damage with
photographs.
4.5 Intermediate storage
Conditions for optimum intermediate storage:
1. Devices with basic packaging or unpacked:
• A dry and well ventilated storeroom with
climate in accordance with VDE 0670, Part
1000 / IEC 60694.
10
is to be notified
• Room temperature which does not fall below
–25°C.
• Do not remove or damage the packaging.
• Unpackaged devices:
– Are to be loosely covered with protective
sheeting.
– Sufficient air circulation must be maintained.
• Check regularly for any condensation.
2. Devices with seaworthy or similar packaging
with internal protective sheeting:
• Store the transport units:
– protected from the weather,
– dry,
– safe from damage.
• Check the packaging for damage.
• If the maximum storage period starting from
the date of packaging has been exceeded:
– The protective function of the packaging is
no longer guaranteed.
– Suitable action must be taken if intermediate
storage is to continue.
3. Storage capacitor 26:
There is no time limit on storage when the above
conditions are fulfilled.
Installation and mounting of the
5
breaker
Careful and professional installation of the
switchgear is one of the fundamental conditions of
trouble-free circuit-breaker operation.
• Install the mechanism enclosure in the panel
without distortion, placing a dished washer
under the nut and bolt head at each of the four
mounting points (depending on the order).
• Connect the main terminals without any residual
tension or pressure forces, exerted for example
by the conductor bars.
• When connecting the conductor bars, the bolts
must be inserted to the depth shown on the
dimensional drawing.
• Observe the tested terminal zone where
appropriate.
• Use DIN bolts of tensile class 8.8 together with
dished washers to fasten the conductor bars.
• Only use the tightening torques shown in the
following table.
• Remove any contamination (see also section
7.3.1.)
