Storage
Introduction
The storage procedures defined below are for storage times of less than 2
years. For longer periods, special packaging must be designed and
appropriate procedures devised.
Short- term storage
(6 months)
The apparatus must be stored in its transport packaging and placed on beams
in a flood- proof place.
Medium- term storage
(less than 2 years)
The table below indicate how to stock the main components of the
circuit- breaker for a medium- term storage :
Component Storage
Components
of the circuit- breaker pole
The apparatus must be stored with its
transport packaging open whilst
placed on beams in a closed (indoor),
but ventilated, flood- proof place.
Operating device
The operating device should be
stored in the same place as the
circuit- breaker, these two
sub- assemblies being inseparable.
Check that the 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 of
condensation, it is mandatory that the
heating circuit be switched on.
