Chapter 4 - Transportation, storage and disposal
• Considering the drive cabinet length, use forks of sufficient length to 
ensure stable transportation and to prevent tipping.
• Take care not to damage the cabinet.
• Be careful when transporting to avoid tipping.
Note: The lifting brackets (see 2, in Figure 4-3) are not used in this 
transportation method and can be removed.
See Appendix D - Mechanical drawings, located on the CD, for 
specific information on the dimensions and weight of the cabinet.
4.2 Storage
4.2.1 Storage conditions
The minimum requirements for storage are based on IEC 60721-3-1 
“Classification of environmental conditions: Classification of groups of 
environmental parameters and their severities; Storage”.
Classification:      1K4 / 1Z3 / 1B1 / 1M3
See Appendix C - Technical data/environment/operation, located on the 
CD, for detailed information.
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.
4.2.2 Storage
If the drive is taken out of service for an extended period of time, proceed 
as follows:
1 Cover all cable inlets and ventilation slots with an impermeable plastic 
or aluminum foil and a wooden panel.
2 Put a 0.5 kilogram [1 lb] bag of desiccant inside each of the two 
lockable compartments. (See Figure 4-4 - Frame 1, Figure 4-4 - 
Frame 2 or Figure 4-4 - Frame 3.)
3 Attach a humidity sensor tab inside each of the two lockable 
compartments. (See Figure 4-4 - Frame 1, Figure 4-4 - Frame 2 or 
Figure 4-4 - Frame 3.) 
4 Close and lock the doors of the cabinet.
