Receiving, handling and storage
Receiving
Each type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker
is securely blocked and braced for
shipment. It is crated, boxed or covered as
required by shipping conditions. If special
handling is required, it is so indicated.
Relatively delicate instruments, protective
relays and other devices are included, and
the type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker
must be handled carefully when
unloading.
Identification
When the shipment includes more than
one type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker,
marking tags are attached to each crate or
package for identification. The drawing
number on the tag is also on the shipping
list. The shipping list identifies the
contents with the unit numbers included
in the shipping group. Refer to the general
arrangement drawing for the location of
each unit within the group lineup. Use this
information to simplify the assembly
operation and save unnecessary handling.
Inspection and unpacking
Inspect the equipment as soon as possible
after receipt for any damage that may have
occurred in transit. Before unpacking,
examine the package itself, as a damaged
package may indicate damage to the
contents of the package. Be careful when
unpacking equipment. The use of sledge
hammers and crowbars may damage the
finish, or the equipment itself. Use nail
pullers. After unpacking, examine
equipment for any possible damage. Check
the shipping manifest to be certain that all
items have been received. If there is a
shortage, make certain it is noted on the
freight bill and contact the carrier
immediately. Notify Siemens medium-
voltage customer service at +1 (800) 347-
6659 (+1 (919) 365-2200 outside the U.S.)
of any shortage or damage.
Shipping damage claims
Important: The manner in which visible
shipping damage is identified by consignee
prior to signing the delivery receipt can
determine the outcome of any damage
claim to be filed.
Notification to carrier within 15 days for
concealed damage is essential if loss
resulting from unsettled claims is to be
eliminated or minimized.
1. When shipment arrives, note whether
equipment is properly protected from
the elements. Note trailer number on
which the equipment arrived. Note
blocking of equipment. During
unloading, make sure to count the
actual items unloaded to verify the
contents as shown on the delivery
receipt.
2. Make immediate inspection for visible
damage upon arrival and prior to
disturbing or removing packaging or
wrapping material. This should be
done prior to unloading when possible.
When total inspection cannot be made
on vehicle prior to unloading, close
inspection during unloading must be
performed and visible damage noted
on the delivery receipt. Take pictures if
possible.
3. Any visible damage must be noted on
the delivery receipt and acknowledged
with the driver’s signature. The
damage should be detailed as much as
possible. It is essential that a notation
"possible internal damage, subject to
inspection" be included on delivery
receipt. If the driver will not sign the
delivery receipt with damage noted,
the shipment should not be signed for
by the consignee or their agent.
4. Notify Siemens immediately of any
damage, at +1 (800) 347-6659 or +1
(919) 365-2200 outside the U.S.
5. Arrange for a carrier inspection of
damage immediately.
