Receiving and Handling
Receiving
Before leaving the factory, the contactors have been tested both mechanically and
electrically. Immediately upon receiving the contactor, remove the packing ma-
terial and check the contactor for possible shipping damage. If damage is found,
do not discard any of the packaging material and, if possible, note the damage on
the Bill of Lading before accepting receipt of the shipment. Report any damage
immediately to the claims office of the common carrier. Provide a description of
the damage and as much identification as possible.
Preliminary Inspection
• Check for any cracks or breaks due to impact.
• Push on armature plate to ensure mechanisms are in good working order.
• Use a HiPot tester to ensure vacuum bottle integrity (refer to Vacuum Bottle
Integrity Test later in this chapter).
Handling
The contactor weighs approximately 42 kg (93 lb) and it is feasible for two (2)
people to safely handle the contactor for a short duration (injury may occur
should one person attempt to handle the equipment).
The following procedure shall be used if a crane or hoist is used to handle the
contactor.
1. Insert two (2) 3/8”-16 UNC lifting bolts into the holes provided on the
top of the contactor (Figure 2.1) and attach the lifting means to the con-
tactor with ropes or cables. Use rigging with safety hooks or shackles.
