10 Receiving, Handling & Storage
The installation of the switchgear should be carefully planned before the equipment
arrives at the site. This can avoid delays or equipment damage resulting from inadequate
facilities or handling.
Receiving
Each transport unit of type SIMOSEC metal-enclosed switchgear is securely blocked and
braced for shipment. It is crated, boxed, or covered as required by shipping conditions.
Whatever method of shipment, every precaution is taken to insure its safe arrival. lf
special handling is required, it is so indicated.
Ö Handle the switchgear assembly carefully when unloading because relatively
delicate instruments are included.
Identification
When the shipment includes more than one shipping group or equipment for more than
one substation, 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 section numbers included in the shipping group.
Ö Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the location of each section within the
group lineup.
Ö Use this information to simplify the assembly operation and save unnecessary
handling.
Inspection & Unpacking
Ö Inspect the equipment as soon as possible after receiving for any damage that may
have occurred in transit.
Ö Examine before unpacking the package itself, as a damaged package may indicate an
area of damage within.
Ö Be careful when unpacking equipment.
Ö Do not damage the plastic film protection during unloading.
Ö Check the ready-for-service indicator for SF
