Storage
Introduction
The storage procedures given below correspond to storage durations not
exceeding 2 years in length. For storage durations of greater than 2 years,
special packaging and particular processes must be employed.
Short-- term storage
(6 months)
The equipment should be stored in its transportation packaging, placed on
timber baulks, in a flood--proof space.
Storage
medium term
(Less than 2 years)
The following table gives the manner in which the main circuit breaker
components should be stored for the medium term :
Component Storage
Circuit breaker pole
The equipment should be stored
with its transportation packaging
open, placed on timber baulks, in an
enclosed (indoor), well ventilated,
flood--proof space.
Operating mechanism
The operating mechanism should be
stored in the same location as the
circuit breaker as the two sub---
assemblies are indissociable. Check
the sealing of the vacuum--pack-
aging.
If it has deteriorated, apply the fol-
lowing recommendations :
S Completely remove the protective
packaging so as to ensure air enters
via the vent grilles in the bottom
plate and side panels.
S To avoid corrosion damage
caused by the condensation of
water, the heating circuit must be
connected.
Cable box
The cable box should be stored in
the same location as the circuit
breaker and operating mechanism
as the three sub--assemblies are
indissociable.
S To avoid corrosion damage
caused by the condensation of
water, the heating circuit must be
connected. Position the cable box
vertically to ensure air can get in
through the vent grilles.
ANY MOVEMENT OF THE DEVICE (EVEN AFTER COMMISSIONING)
MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE PRESSURE REDUCED TO 0.3
BAR.
