MADE TO INTERFACE WITH THIS CIRCUIT BREAK-
ER.

3-3 STORAGE
If the circuit breaker is to be placed in storage, maxi-mum
protection can be obtained by keeping it packed as
shipped. Before placing it in storage, checks should be
made to make sure that the breaker is free from ship-ping
damage and is in satisfactory operating condition.
Outdoor storage is NOT recommended. If unavoidable,
the outdoor location must be well drained and a tempo-
rary shelter from sun, rain, snow, corrosive fumes, dust,
dirt, falling objects, excessive moisture, etc. must be
provided. Containers should be arranged to permit free
circulation of air on all sides and temporary heaters
should be used to minimize condensation. Moisture can
cause rusting of metal parts and deterioration of high
voltage insulation. A heat level of approximately 400
watts for each 100 cubic feet of volume is recommended
with the heaters distributed uniformly throughout the
structure near the floor.
Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient
heat and circulation to prevent condensation. If the
building is not heated, the same general rule for heat as
for outdoor storage should be applied.
