SECTION 10: TRANSPORTING / STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT
In some instances, there is a requirement for transporting the equipment from one location to another for on-
site field testing. If such conditions prevail, the following precautions should be adhered to.
1. Control Box / Regulator Section
Anchor sufficiently to prevent movement during shipment, and cover with a canvas or other protective
covering to prevent damage during transport.
2. Interconnect Cables
Cover the connectors, both male and female ends, to prevent foreign matter from entering.
3. High Voltage Transformer
Anchor sufficiently to prevent movement during transport and cover with a canvas or other protective
covering to prevent damages during transport. Prior to operation, all insulating materials and bushings
should be cleaned. Protective caps should be in place on connectors.
STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT
If the equipment will be stored for a prolonged period, the following precautions are recommended.
1. The equipment should be covered and kept in a warm, dry environment (95% maximum
humidity, 5 to 50 degrees C).
2. If the high voltage transformer is to be stored outdoors, it should be completely covered to
prevent damage from environmental conditions.
3. In no case should the control box be stored outdoors (unless previously specified in the
original purchase agreement).
4. Prior to placing the equipment back into operation, all aspects of the maintenance schedule
should be strictly adhered to.
