4. Despatch and storage
4.1 Condition on delivery
•
The factory-assembled switching devices are
checked at the works for completeness of the
equipment installed and simultaneously
subjected to a routine test in accordance with
VDE 0670, part 1000 or IEC publication 60694,
thus verifying their correct structure and
function.
The storage capacitors 26 are discharged by the
connected control electronics, and have a terminal
voltage < 10 V on delivery.
4.2 Packaging
The switching devices are mounted individually on a
wooden pallet and sealed in film and/or packed in
cardboard for delivery.
Packaging for overseas shipment:
•
Drying agent bags inserted in the film sealed
packaging.

out with a
•
crane,
•
fork-lift truck and/or
•
trolley jack.
Notes:
•
Avoid impact during handling.
•
Do not subject to other damaging mechanical
stresses.
•
Lifting gear must not be attached to the breaker
poles or parts of the operating mechanism. Use
lifting bores 1.2 and lifting lugs, e.g. in figure 9/10
and in the dimensional drawings.
4.4 Delivery
The duties of the consignee on receipt of the
switching devices at site include the following:
•
Checking the delivery for completeness and
freedom from damage (e.g. moisture and its
adverse effects).
•
Any short quantities, defects or damage in transit:
- Must be precisely documented on the
consignment note.
