INSTALLATION, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 9
Receiving
Before leaving the factory, the motor control center
is given a final mechanical and electrical inspection
and is packed in accordance with the best practices
for electrical equipment.
On receipt of any apparatus, make an immediate
inspection for any damage or loss of equipment in
transit. Should damage or missing material
be noted, file a claim immediately with the carrier
and notify the nearest office of ABB. Information
such as a description of the damage, the shipping
crate numbers, the requisition numbers and
the panel catalog number should accompany
the claim.
Handling
Motor control center sections are always shipped in
an upright position, in single or group sections.
Sections must be maintained in an upright position
during all handling.
Never attempt to jack, lift, or move the equipment
at points other than the lifting angle or floor sills.
Use two or more chains or cables to distribute the
weight evenly. Pinch bars, pipe rollers or slings are
useful implements for handling equipment; but be
careful to maintain distributed loading and to
always apply leverage at the floor sills and/or
lifting eyes. Figures 05A and 05B illustrate typical
handling techniques.
Storage
If it is necessary to store the equipment for any
length of time, be sure to observe the following
precautions:
• Uncrate the equipment.
• Store the equipment in a clean, dry, humidity-
controlled area at moderate temperature. Cover
with a suitable canvas or heavy-duty plastic cover
to prevent entrance of foreign material.
• If equipment must be stored in cool or high
humidity areas, in addition to completely
covering the equipment, provide a heat source to
prevent condensation of moisture in the
equipment. Energize space heaters (if furnished
in the equipment) or place a standard 120-volt
lamp rated at 75 watts inside the bottom of each
vertical section.
