2.1 Transportation and storing
•
The breaker is transported on wooden palette. It is fixed
by shrunken plastic film. A cardboard box covers the
breaker on the palette. Truck, railway, airplane and ship
transport is possible. In case of sea transport, special protection against salty and humid environment is provided.
The circuit breaker must alway s be transported to the installation site vertic ally and fully packed. The packaging
protects the device against damage and dust; it should
only be removed prior to installation.
If the packaging is damaged, the breaker and the arc
chute must be inspected for damage. Ensure that all
packaging materials have been caref ully removed prior
to breaker installation.
For handling the unpacked breaker use canvas slings and
position them below the closing drive (a) and below the
lower terminal (b) [Fig. 3].

Warnings:
During operation, electrical equipment carries dangerous
voltages. In addition, circuit breaker emits hot, ionized
gases when switching currents, especially short circuit currents.
•
Installing, commissioning, maintaining, changing or refitting of this equipment must be carried out only by qualified
and suitably trained personnel and under strict observation of national and international applicable safety regulations.
During their operation, circuit breakers must be equipped
with appropriately fitted covers, e.g. in suitable enclosures
or panel boards. Safety distances must be preserved.
Suitably trained service personnel shall only carry out certain works.
Non-compliance with these warnings may result in death,
and/or severe physical damage and extensive damage to
equipment.
a
Prior to carrying out maintenance, inspection or checks,
the circuit breaker must be open, the both terminals must
be grounded, the circuit breaker must be switched off and
the control plugs removed.
Manual activation of the breaker while energized is forbidden. Manual activation must only be used for maintenance
and inspection purposes, when breaker power is off and
grounded.
The circuit breaker consists of high energy moving components. Do not touch the circuit breaker while it is being
switched ON (closing) or OFF (opening). There is a high risk
of major injury.
The control circuits may include capacitor banks, which
can be charged with dangerous voltages. Work on this section must be carried out carefully.
