4 Delivery, storage and transport

4.1 Delivery
• Handle shipping units carefully
when unloading and unpacking
them.
• Shipping units must be unpacked
immediately after receipt. Any da-
mage occurred in transit must be
recorded and reported immedia-
tely to the manufacturer.
• On delivery, the consignment
must be checked for comple-
teness.
• The supplier must be notified in
writing about any discrepancies. Fig. 4.1
Shipping unit
4.2 Storage
The transport packaging is not in-
tended for storage. The risk of storing
the parts in packed condition shall be
the consignee's responsibility!

4.3 Transport
Transport using a forklift truck:

Only transport the circuit-breaker


within its shipping unit on a pallet.

Transport without pallet:

Lift circuit-breaker acc. to Fig 4.2.


A rope (not a metallic steel cable)
Ø 12 to 15 mm or a strap is required
to this effect.

WARNING:
Make sure the rope or Fig. 4.2

Mounting the transport truck


(optional)
A transport truck (optional) is used
to rack the circuit-breaker into the
switchgear panel (Fig. 5.2).

For the design and method of


operation of the transport truck used,
please refer to the instructions for
the panel in question.

IMPORTANT:
When performing the
following assembly steps,
observe and comply with
the instructions given for the
panel used.

1.  Place the circuit-breaker on the


transport truck rails.
2. Lock the circuit-breaker on the
transport truck.
3. Grease the disconnecting
fingers (fig. 8.3) or the tulip
contacts (fig. 8.4) using
appropriate lubricant.
4. Couple the transport truck to the
panel.
5. Unlock the circuit-breaker from
the transport truck. Fig. 5.2
6.  Press the handles inside as Move the circuit-breaker in front of the panel
shown (fig. 5.2) by the arrows and
push the breaker inside cubicle to

7. Release the handles in order to
lock the withdrawable unit in test
position.
8. Release the transport truck from
the panel.

9.4 How to treat the contact surfaces

WARNING: IMPORTANT:
Caution when handling Contact areas coated with
bars insulated by heat- lubricant Kontasynth should
shrinkable sleeves: The not be touched, if possible.
heat-shrinkable sleeve must not
get into contact with lubricant
(swelling).

1. Contact surfaces must be subjected to preliminary treatment before screw-fastening:

Material of contact surfaces Pre-treatment

Silver-plated contact surfaces Clean 1)

Copper or copper alloy Clean 1), expose metallic surface 2)

Aluminium Clean 1), expose metallic surface 2)

Zinc-plated steel Remove passivation, not, however, the zinc layer 3)

Hot-galvanized sheet-metal Clean 1), passivation need not be removed

1)
Clean by means of lint-free cloth; use cleaning agent in case of serious contamination (see above)
2)
Expose metallic surface
- by treating the entire surface with emery cloth or a rotating grinding tool (grain size 100 or 80) or
- using a wire brush which is clearly marked for use exclusively for aluminium or exclusively for copper
3)
using a brass brush, steel brush

2. Immediately after the pre-


treatment, coat the contact
surfaces with lubricant
Kontasynth so that the space
between the contact surfaces is
completely filled once the screws
have been fastened.
