Due to ambient temperature, humidity, dust, and vibration, the MV Station and the inner
components will age and wear. To ensure the system safety and maintain the efficiency of
the MV Station, it is necessary to carry out routine and periodic maintenance.
All measures, which can help the MV Station work in good conditions, are within the
maintenance scope.

Do not leave any screws, washers or other metallic parts inside the MV Station to
avoid damages to the MV Station.
Sand and moisture penetration may affect the performance of electric devices
