Reuse of transport unit
Reusing the transport unit The transport pallet and the carton as well as most of the components can be reused
if the vacuum circuit-breaker is to be transported again.
Do not reuse severed tensioning belts or plastic strapping.
Pack the vacuum circuit-breaker in reverse order:
• Secure the vacuum circuit-breaker safely on the transport pallet with suitable
aids.
• Cover with film and seal with adhesive tape.
• Attach supplementary equipment.
• Close carton securely.
• Before returning to the factory, ask the responsible Siemens representative for a
returned products number (see also “Service”, on page 63).
• When returning a vacuum circuit-breaker, always specify the type and serial
number (see “Name plate”, on page 31).
Storage
Store the vacuum circuit-breaker in the following condition:
• OPEN switch position
• Closing spring discharged
Note
Risk of corrosion damage if stored improperly!
Failure to observe the storage conditions shortens the storage life and the vacu-
um circuit-breaker may be damaged.
• If the storage conditions listed below are met, the vacuum circuit-breaker can
be stored for up to a year in its transport unit.
• If the storage conditions are not met, the vacuum circuit-breaker cannot be
stored in the transport unit for longer than 6 months.
• If storage for more than one year is planned, unpack the vacuum circuit-
breaker from the transport unit. Further storage may necessitate fresh corro-
sion protection, and it must be ensured that the vacuum circuit-breaker can-
not be damaged.
