2.3 Storage

Use the following procedures if the VCB will not be operated for a long period of time after it has been installed, or if it must be stored for a long period of time prior to installation. Be sure to observe the precautions for storage and installation locations (see page 5).

(1)When storing the unit, cover it with a dust cover.

(2)Avoid locations subject to high humidity or exposed to direct sunlight.

(3)Inspect the unit periodically and make sure there are no problems such as condensation, moisture absorption, rust, corrosion or insects inside the equipment. If such problems are discovered, inspect the equipment carefully and repair it before it is operated.

WARNING

To prevent electric shock or other injury, do not use the unit when a problem has been discovered during an inspection of that unit.

CAUTION

To prevent injury or damage to the equipment, make sure the unit is standing straight up. NEVER lay it on its side or place it upside-down.

(4)When the equipment has been stored or has been idle for a long period of time, do not install or begin operating the unit immediately. Perform the procedures listed in sections 7.3 and 7.4 and the withstand voltage test* for the control circuit to make sure there are no problems before installing or operating the unit.

*The withstand voltage on control circuits

The withstand voltage test for motor spring operation type circuit breaker shall be performed in charged condition.

The power frequency withstand voltage on control circuits except charging motor is 2000V AC, since the withstand voltage for charging motor is 1500V AC.

The motor circuit shall be disconnected before withstand voltage test on control circuits. (Example: The connector plug (white) on upper-center of control board should be disconnected (pull out) after removing the front cover of circuit breaker. This will make the motor circuit disconnect

Note: The connector plug and front cover must be returned to proper position after withstand voltage test.
