11.3 Intermediate storage
If the comprehensive accessories, the delivered switchgear or parts thereof have to be
stored before installation, a suitable storage room or place has to be selected and
prepared.
Intermediate storage of the transport units:
• In original packing as far as possible
• Switchgear with secondary system: Observe the permissible storage temperature
from -25° C to +70° C in accordance with the installed secondary devices.
• Switchgear without secondary system: Observe the permissible storage temperature
from -40° C to +70° C.
• In a weatherproof place
• Protected against damage
• If packed in seaworthy crates, the switchgear can be stored for a maximum of
6 months (desiccant bags)
• Store transport units in such a way that they can be taken out later in the correct order
for installation.
Switchgear storage in
closed rooms
As a rule, the switchgear should be stored in a closed room. The storage room must
have the following characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Even floor to enable stable storage
• Well-ventilated and free of dust as far as possible
• Dry and protected against humidity and vermin (e.g. insects, mice, rats)
• Check humidity in the packings every 4 weeks (condensation)
• Do not unpack small parts to avoid corrosion and loss.
DANGER!
Risk of injury and damage to the stored goods if the storage space is overloaded.
Ö Observe the load-bearing capacity of the floor.
Ö Do not stack the transport units.

ATTENTION!
Supplied desiccant bags lose their effectiveness if they are not stored in
the undamaged original packings.
