2.2 Scope of Instructions
The instructions are general in nature.
They cover requirements for receiving,
installation, and functional checks as
applied to ADVAC and AMVAC medium
voltage circuit breakers. These instruc-
tions do not attempt to cover all possible
issues that may arise during receiving to
commissioning of breakers.
Information on particular installations
appears in the following:
·
Bills of Materials that list electrical
devices and equipment.
·
Single line drawings showing power
connections.
·

3 Inspection, Handling and
Storage
3.1 Inspection
Before shipment, the equipment is
inspected and marked with its rating.
Breakers are shipped in the open and
discharged condition in separate crates.
Upon receipt of the equipment, use the
breaker commissioning check list in the
back of this document to examine the
shipment for damage or missing
components. Follow the procedures
outlined in the next section.
3.2 Handling
Transport breakers upright using proper
lifting equipment. Take the high center of
gravity into account. Carry out loading
operations only when it has been ensured
that all precautionary measures to protect
personnel and materials have been taken
into consideration.
3.3 Storage
For circuit breakers, store upright in their
original shipping carton oriented as
indicated on the shipping crates. See
breaker installation and operation manual
for details on breaker storage.
4 Procedures
4.1 Receiving inspection
Inspect shipping crate for damages, and
note condition of tip & tell if equipped. Check
the contents against the packing list before
discarding any packing material. Check the
consignment for completeness and lack of
any damage (e.g. moisture and its
detrimental effects). In case of doubt, the
packing must be opened and then properly
resealed, when intermediate storage is
necessary. If any quantities are short, or
defects or transport damage is noted, these
must be documented on the respective
shipping document. Notify ABB and the
carrier at once of any discrepancies. If there
is damage from improper handling, file a
claim for damages at once with the carrier
and notify ABB.
