4.5.1 Storage conditions
The minimum requirements for storage are based
on IEC 60721-3-1
'Classification of environmental
conditions: Classification of groups of environ-
mental parameters and their severities; Storage'
.
Table 4-2 Storage conditions
The drive can be stored for up to one year in the
original packaging as long as it is not damaged or
opened. For information on longer storage periods
contact the ABB service organization.
4.5.2 Storage
If the drive is taken out of service for a longer time
proceed as follows:
1. Cover all cable inlets and ventilation slots with
an impermeable plastic or aluminum foil and a

5. Attach humidity indicators to the packaging.
The storage conditions and the packaging should
be checked regularly. Any damages that occur
during the storage period should be repaired
immediately.
