Equipment Packaging
Every package leaving the factory is plainly marked with the
case number, requisition number, and customer's order
number. If the equipment has been split for shipment, the
section numbers of the equipment enclosed in each shipping
package are identified.
NOTICE: To avoid the loss of any parts when unpacking,
the contents of each container should be carefully checked
against the packing list before discarding the packing
material.
The contents of each shipping package are listed on the
Master Packing List. In addition, this list includes the number
of the shipping crate in which miscellaneous parts needed to
install and operate the equipment (such as hardware, contact
lubricant, touch-up paint, breaker closing devices, etc.) are
located. Normally, such devices are packed in a cardboard
carton and the carton secured in an empty switchgear
compartment (Figure 2.1). If such items are packed in a
switchgear section instead of a separate crate, the list will
indicate the appropriate section number in which they are
stored. Large items (such as breaker lifting devices and
dollies used with indoor equipment) will always be shipped in
separate crates or cartons (Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3).
Inspecting for Damage
All equipment leaving the factory is carefully inspected and
packed by personnel experienced in the proper handling and
packing of electrical equipment. Upon receipt of any
equipment, immediately perform a visual inspection to
ascertain if any damage has been sustained in shipping or if
there are any loose parts.
Circuit breakers may be shipped separately in individual
containers with the breaker in the open position. Circuit
breakers should be unpacked and visually inspected for
damage or loose parts as soon as possible after they have
been received.
Be sure to inspect all devices mounted or packed inside
compartments of each section to see if any have been
dislodged or damaged.
Filing a Claim
If any damage is evident, or indication of rough handling is
visible, file a claim for damage at once with the transportation
company and notify the nearest General Electric Company
Sales Office immediately. Information on damaged parts,
part number, case number, requisition number, etc., should
accompany the claim.
