If you decide not to install the Retrofill breaker until a later time, then you can store it away for installing it later.
PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Do not store circuit breaker in corrosive
environments above LC1 (sea salt mist) and
G1 as per ANSI/ISA-S71.04-1985.
• Ensure circuit breakers and cassettes are
stored in a clean, dry location, in their original
packaging.
•
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in product damage.
1. Store the circuit breakers in a clean, dry location in an upright position.
2. Make sure that they be properly supported to prevent bending of the studs or damage to any of the breaker
parts. Do not remove any protective grease until they are ready to be installed. A covering of draft or other
non-absorbent paper prevents dust from settling on the breakers.
3. If breakers are not to be placed in service at once, remove them from their shipping cartons and thoroughly
inspect them.
4. If everything is in satisfactory condition, replace the breakers in their shipping cartons for storage. Do not move
the shipping members at this time. If it is necessary to store the equipment for any length of time, do the
following precautions to prevent corrosion or deterioration:
• Uncrate the equipment and check thoroughly for damage.
• Store in a clean, dry, rodent-free location with moderate temperature and provide protective coverings to
prevent dirt, water, or other foreign substances from entering the breaker.
• If dampness or condensation is encountered in the storage location, heaters for circuit breakers in
a closed environment can be used to prevent moisture damage.
