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 appropri-
ate procedures devised.
Short--term storage
(6 months)
The apparatus must be storedin its transport packaging and placedon 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
Circuit--breaker pole
The apparatus must be stored with its
transport packaging open whilst
placed on beams in a closed, but ven-
tilated, flood--proof place.
Operating device
The operating device should be
stored in the same place as the cir-
cuit--breaker , these two sub--assem-
blies being inseparable. Check that
the vacuum packaging is leak--tight.
If this has been damaged, proceed as
follows :
D Completely remove the packaging
protection so that air can enter
throughthe vents of therear plate and
side panels.
D In order to prevent corrosion dam-
agedue to formationofcondensation,
it is mandatory that the heating circuit
be switched on.
ANY CHANGE OF LOCATION OF THE APPARATUS (EVEN AFTER COM-
MISSIONING) SHOULD BE DONE AT A REDUCED PRESSURE OF
0.3 BAR.
