Reuse of transport unit
Reusing the transport unit The transport pallet and the box, 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 wraps.
Pack the vacuum circuit-breaker in reverse order:
• Secure the vacuum circuit-breaker safely on the transport pallet with suitable
aids.
• Cover with PE film and seal with adhesive tape.
• Attach the supplementary equipment.
• Close the box securely.
• Before returning to the factory, ask the responsible Siemens representative for a
returned products number (see also “Service”on page 2).
• When returning a vacuum circuit-breaker, always specify the type and serial
number (see “Name plate”, on page 34).
Storage
Store the vacuum circuit-breaker in the following condition:
Risk of corrosion damage if stored improperly!
Failure to observe the storage conditions shortens the storage life and the vacuum
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 corrosion protec-
tion, and it must be ensured that the vacuum circuit-breaker cannot be dam-
aged.
• OPEN switch position
• Closing spring discharged
