freedom from damage (e.g. also for moisture and its
detrimental effects). in cases of doubt, the packaging
must be opened and then properly resealed, fitting new
drying agent bags, when intermediate storage is
necessary
• If any short quantities, defects or transport damages are
noted:
- To be documented on the respective shipping

The packing is intended for transport and not for storing
purpose. Upon receipt, the switchgear must be unpacked
and installed under clean, dry, dust-free, indoor conditions
and anti-condensation heaters shall be switched ON.
4.6 Intermediate storage
Optimum intermediate storage where it is necessary –
without detrimental consequences depends on compliance
with a number of minimum conditions for the panels and
assembly materials
1. Panels with seaworthy or similar packaging with internal
protective sheeting:
• Store the transport units:
- protected from the weather
- in a dry place
- safe from damage
• Check the packaging for damage
• Check the drying agent (see also section 4.2):
- on arrival of the consignment
- later at regular intervals
• When the maximum storage period, starting from the
date of packaging, has been exceeded:
- the protective function of the packaging can no
longer be guaranteed
- take suitable action if intermediate storage is to
continue
Note
Do not walk on the roof of the panel
(rupture points in pressure relief device)!
Note
For the panels which are stored for intermediate periods
after unpacking, where panel is subjected to direct
ambient / environmental conditions it is recommended to
arrange auxiliary supply near panel & to keep heaters
inside the panel ON to avoid condensation / dew deposits
inside the panel.
