WARNING
3-3 STORAGE
If the circuit breaker is to be placed in storage,
maximum protection can be obtained by keeping it
packed as shipped. Before placing it in storage,
checks should be made to make sure that the breaker
is free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory
operating condition.
Outdoor storage is NOT recommended. If
unavoidable, the outdoor location must be well
drained and a temporary shelter from sun, rain, snow,
corrosive fumes, dust, dirt, falling objects, excessive
moisture, etc. must be provided. Containers should be
arranged to permit free circulation of air on all sides
and temporary heaters should be used to minimize
condensation. Moisture can cause rusting of metal
parts and deterioration of high voltage insulation. A
heat level of approximately 400 watts for each 100
cubic feet of volume is recommended with the heaters
distributed uniformly throughout the structure near the
floor.
Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient
heat and circulation to prevent condensation. If the
building is not heated, the same general rule for heat as
for outdoor storage should be applied.
