Reusing the transport unit
To transport the vacuum circuit-breaker again, the pallet with carton or the wooden
case with the most components can be reused.
Do not reuse severed tensioning belts or plastic wrap.
Pack the vacuum circuit-breaker in reverse order:
• Attach the vacuum circuit-breaker safely to the pallet using the appropriate
tools.
• Cover with film and seal with adhesive tape.
• Attach accessories pack.
• Attach carton securely to the pallet floor.
• Screw the wooden case back together.
• Before returning to the factory, ask the responsible sales representative for a
returned goods number (see also "Service", on page 57).
• When returning a vacuum circuit-breaker, always indicate the type and serial
number (see "Rating plate", on page 35).

Storage

Note
Store the vacuum circuit-breaker in the following condition:
• OPEN switching position

Note
Risk of corrosion damage if stored improperly!
If the storage conditions listed below are met, the vacuum circuit-breaker can be
stored for up to a year in its transport unit.
If the storage conditions are not met, the vacuum circuit-breaker cannot be stored
in the transport unit any longer than 6 months.
If storage of longer than one year is planned, unpack the vacuum circuit-breaker
