Receiving
Before unloading, inspect each MCC component 
and/or its packaging for evidence of damage 
incurred during shipment. If there is any evidence 
the equipment has been damaged or mishandled, a 
qualified technician should perform a complete 
inspection of both the interior and exterior of the 
equipment. If there is damage from improper 
handling, file a claim for damages at once with the 
carrier and notify your ABB representative.
Retain all of the packing material until you are 
confident that you have all components and that 
they are suitable for installation.
Before shipment, each vertical section is inspected 
and marked with its assembly number and location 
within the lineup. See 1.8.1. Section and Unit 
Numbering of this manual. When the MCC leaves 
the factory, a certification of shipment is made 
where a photographic report is taken and all the 
pieces and spare parts that are sent with the MCC 
are registered. Check the equipment received 
against the packing list to ensure that all 
components were received. Notify your ABB 
representative and the carrier at once if there are 
any discrepancies between what was ordered and 
what was received.
If there will be a delay in installing the MCC, retain 
the necessary packing materials to safely store the 
MCC. See 2.3.4. Section - Temporary Storage of this 
manual.
Unloading and moving MCC components
Unload MCC sections or shipping splits either by 
crane or fork-lift and place them on a flat surface. 
When moving the sections or shipping splits, keep 
them vertical at all times.
MCC sections and shipping splits usually have a 
high center of gravity. To improve stability while 
moving them to the installation site, leave the 
sections or shipping splits secured to the
shipping skid.
Warning: The MCC includes very heavy 
components. To prevent serious injury 
or death, or equipment damage, use 
only material-handling equipment with 
sufficient capacity for the loads involved. 
Components should be unloaded and 
transported only by qualified operators 
and/or installers.
Notice: Never set the MCC sections on 
edge. To prevent deformation, sections 
should always rest flat on the floor or 
supporting structure.
To keep the MCC structural integrity check that all 
doors and panels of the sections are in place and 
securely fastened before moving the equipment.
The MCC sections are shipped with the circuit-
breakers, contactors, relays of protection, 
implementation of installed controls, so it is 
of most importance to take into account for the 
handling at the moment of the download of the 
carrier's platform, either by open or closed 
platform.
Note: ABB is not responsible for the 
damage, after delivery of the MCC or bad 
handlings at the time of the download.
