802-9081.9 • INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • NXPLUS C • Revision 11 97/293
Installation
• In a weatherproof place
• Protected against damage
• If packed in seaworthy crates, the switchgear can be stored for a maximum of 6 months
(desiccant bags)
• Store transport units in such a way that they can be taken out later in the correct order for
installation
Switchgear storage in
closed rooms
Store the switchgear in a closed room. The storage room must have the following
characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Even floor to enable stable storage.
• Well-ventilated and as free of dust as possible
• Dry and protected against humidity and vermin (e.g. insects, mice, rats)
• Heatable up to at least 2 °C above outside temperature to prevent condensation.
• Check humidity in the packings every 4 weeks (condensation)
• Do not unpack small parts to avoid corrosion and loss.
Outdoor storage of
switchgear packed in
seaworthy crates
If the switchgear or parts thereof are delivered in seaworthy crates, the crates can be stored up
to 6 months in other rooms or outdoors. The storage place must have the following
characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Roofed, protected against humidity (rain water, flooding, melting water from snow and ice),
pollution, vermin (rats, mice, termites, etc.) and unauthorized access
• For protection against floor humidity, place all crates on planks and square timber.
• After 6 months of storage, have the desiccant agent regenerated professionally. To do this,
ask for expert personnel via the regional Siemens representative
