Receiving and Handling
RECEIVING
Before shipment, the switchgear is inspected and marked with its
number and position. The factory ships circuit breakers separately.
Upon receipt of the switchgear, examine the shipment for damage or
loss. Check the contents against the packing list before discarding
any packing material. Notify ABB and the carrier at once of any
discrepancies. If there is damage from improper handling, file a claim
for damages at once with the carrier and notify ABB.
Note: ABB standard shipments are "FOB factory." ABB is not responsible for
damage, after delivery of the equipment to the carrier.
HANDLING
For structural integrity, all doors and panels must be in place and
securely fastened before moving the equipment
Do not move or transport the switchgear with the circuit breakers
installed.
Before energizing the heaters, remove all the packing materials
from the switchgear. Open the circuit breaker or cutout device
that controls the heaters when using a separate power source.

STORAGE
Leave the equipment on the shipping base.
Store all equipment indoors in a well-ventilated area.
The storage building should have a well-drained paved floor. The
temperature should be above 60ºF. The air should be dry (50%
maximum humidity).
The sections ship wrapped in plastic for protection during shipment
only. Remove the plastic wrap after placing into storage. Cover with
heavy wrapping paper or other moisture barrier. Do not use
materials that would trap moisture inside the unit. Do not cover
louvered or filtered openings.
When storing for a long period of time or in high-humidity, use
heaters to keep the interior dry. Bring the power for the heaters to
the load terminals of the device that controls the heater circuits.
The device must remain open when using a separate power source .
Store circuit breakers upright in their original shipping carton. Do
not stack. Do not store circuit breakers in the switchgear

Site Preparation
GENERAL
Before installing, consult all drawings furnished for the particular
order. The drawings show top and front views of the switchgear,
primary and secondary connection diagrams, and Bills of Materials.
Study these drawings and the following recommendations before
preparing the site plan drawings.
LOCATION
Locate the switchgear in accordance with local regulations.
Clearances at the front should allow the installation and removal of
the circuit breakers. Allow enough rear clearance to open the rear
doors. Provide rear access for making connections before startup and
for periodic inspections. The recommended minimum clearances
appear on the drawings.
FOUNDATION
The factory supplies floor plan drawings for each installation. The
concrete floor must be straight and level within ¼ inch over the entire
length of the line-up.
The design of the floor may include iron sills in the concrete. The sills
must be straight and level within ¼ inch over their full length, and
correctly spaced. Bolt ties between the sills and shim the lower flange
of each sill to proper height.
Install power and secondary (control) conduits before moving the
switchgear to the site. Available space for the conduits appears on
the floor plans supplied with the switchgear. Conduits should not
extend more than one (1) inch above the station floor level. Plug
conduit openings before pouring concrete.

Indoor/ Outdoor Installation
GENERAL
Metal-enclosed switchgear ships in sections. Sections up to 96
inches ship on heavy timber bases or on optional throw away steel
bases
Unload the switchgear as close to the installation site as possible.
Raise the switchgear with jacks and move on rollers with the shipping
bases in place or with an overhead hoist and spreader bar. See pages
15 and 16.
MOVING BY JACKS AND ROLLERS
Use of forklift trucks for jacking or placing the jacks other than as
described may result in stress distortions and irreparable damage
to the switchgear.
Do not remove the shipping bases until the units are set in place.
Moving the units without the shipping base will cause irreparable
damage and a hazardous condition.

In many locations the best way of moving the switchgear is with jacks
and rollers.
1. Do not remove the shipping base . Move the unit near the site. Raise
the unit by jacks placed under the front and rear corners. See
Figure 1. Note: Some sections are on throw away steel bases.
Figure 1. Position jacks under the front and rear corners, inside the
shipping base.

2. Raise the unit enough to position a roller under the shipping base.
Repeat the operation at the other end. See Figure 2
Figure 2. Raise the unit enough to position a roller under the shipping
base.
3. Push the switchgear toward its final position, while another person
puts a third roller under the forward end. Keep moving a roller
from the rear to the front until the unit is in place.
4. For lateral moving, raise the units by jacks as described in step 1.
Place the rollers laterally with steel channels (not furnished) on the
rollers. See Figure 3 and Error! Reference source not found..
Carefully push the unit onto a third roller and move a roller from
the rear to the front until the unit is in place.

RAISING BY SLINGS
1. Attach the optional lifting plates to the 4 holes provided in the top
of the units as shown in Figure 5. They provide a large hole at
each end for attaching a sling and spreader bar assembly.
Figure 5. End view showing extended lifting eye, with optional Drip Proof Roof.
2. Use a spreader bar to keep the legs of the sling vertical.
3. Lift and move the switchgear to it’s final place. Once the unit is set
in place, remove the shipping base as described on page 16.
