3.1 Condition on delivery
Delivery packing
UniSec is delivered either as a single unit or in multiple switch-
gear units with a length of no more than 2.0 m, and with the
doors closed. The size of the pack(s) depends on the number
and type of units and has to be defined separately in each
case.
The factory-assembled units have been inspected by the man-
ufacturer in the factory for completeness in terms of the order
and, at the same time, subjected to routine testing according
to IEC publication 62271-200 in order to verify correct con-
struction and functions.
The branch busbars are factory-assembled for each unit.
However, the main busbar connections between different
units must be carried out on site. The main busbars and their
accessories are packed separately for delivery.
3.2 Unpacking at installation site
Storage and inspection
The UniSec switchgear must only be installed indoors. It is
therefore important to store the switchgear units in their trans-
port packing for as long as possible. Do not store switchgear
units outside.
The packs should only be opened to inspect for any damage
caused during transport. After inspection, the packing should
be restored to its original condition.
NOTE
Any transport damage must be reported to the
carrier/forwarder immediately. If installation
of the switchgear is to be made immediately
after delivery, the transport packing must
be removed, except for the plastic vapour
corrosion inhibitor film covering the units,
which must only be removed at the final
switchgear installation site.
Unpacking
The UniSec units are fixed to the pallet using separate fixing
plates (2 plates on the back of the unit) and bolts (2 bolts on
the front of the unit) inside the unit.
a) Remove the plastic film from the units.
b) Take off and dispose of the fixing plates and bolts as these
will not be needed.
c) The table shows a list of the packing materials used for
the switchgear units and their possible recycling methods.
Packing materials may vary from case to case. The list gives
an indication of the possible packing materials.
