SAFE
PRACTICES
ADVAC
circuit
breakers
are
equipped
with
high
energy
and
high
speed
mechanisms
.
The
design
includes
several
interlocks
and
safely
features
to
provide
safe
and
proper
operating
sequences
.
To
ensure
safety
of
personnel
associated

maintenance
of
these
breakers
,
the
following
recommendations
must
be
followed
:
Only
qualified
persons
,
as
defined
in
the
National
Electric
Safety
Code
,
who
are
familiar

of
medium
voltage
circuits
and
equipment
should
be
permitted
to
work
on
these
breakers
.
Read
these
instructions
carefully
before
attempting
any
installation
,
operation
or
maintenance
of
these
breakers
.
DO
NOT
work
on
an
energized
breaker
.
DO
NOT
work
on
a
breaker
unless
all
components
are
disconnected
by
means
of
a
visible
break
and
securely
grounded
.
DO
NOT
work
on
a
breaker
with
power
supplied
to
the

work
on
a
breaker
with
a
charged
closing
spring
.
DO
NOT
use
a
circuit
breaker
by
itself
as
the
sole
means
of
isolating
a
high
voltage
circuit
.
DO
NOT
leave
a
breaker
in
an
intermediate
position
in
a
cell
.
Always
have
the
breaker
in

RECEIVING
,
HANDLING
,
AND
STORAGE
ADVAC
circuit
breakers
are
subject
to
complete
factory
production
tests
and
inspection prior
to
packaging
.
The
shipping
package
is
designed
to
provide
protection
during
shipment
and
to
provide
convenient
handling
.
Accessories such
as
charging
handles and
racking
handles
are
shipped
separately
from
the circuit breaker
.
Receiving
Immediately
upon
receipt
of
the circuit breakers
,
examine the
cartons to
determine
if
any
damage
or
loss
was
sustained
during
transit
.
If
injury
or
rough handling
is
evident
,
file
a
damage
claim
at
once
with
the
carrier
and
promptly
notify
the
nearest
District
Office
.
ABB
is
not
responsible
for
damage
of
goods
after
delivery
to
the
carrier
.
However
,
we
will
lend assistance
if
notified
of
claims
.
Use
care
in
unpacking
to
avoid
damaging
any
circuit
breaker
parts
.
Unpack
circuit
breakers
as soon as
possible
after
receipt
.
If
unpacking
is
delayed
,
difficulty
may
be
experienced
in
making
a
claim
for
damages
not
evident
upon
receipt
.
Check
the
contents
of
each
carton
against
the
packing
list
before
discarding
any
packing
material
.
If
any
discrepancy
is
discovered
,
promptly
notify
the
nearest
District
Office
.
Information
specifying
the
purchase
order
number
,
carton
number and
part
numbers
of
damaged
or
missing
parts
should
accompany
the claim
.
Handling
ADVAC
circuit
breaker
shipping
containers
are
designed
to
be
handled
by
fork
lift
.
If
the container
must
be
skidded
for
any
distance
it
is
preferable
to
use
roller
conveyors
of
individual
pipe
rollers
.
Once
removed
from
the
shipping
container
,
the
circuit
breaker wheels
are
designed
to
move
the breaker
across a
smooth
,
prepared
surface
.
Care
must
be taken
not
to
damage
the
secondary
locking
tab
(
item
9
,
page
8
)
when
transporting
,
rolling
,
or
handling
the
ADVAC
breakers
.
DO NOT
pull
the
circuit breaker
by
the
front
handles
with
the breaker
in
any
position
other than
full
disconnect
.
Storage
Circuit
breakers should be
installed
in
their
permanent
location
as
soon as
possible
.
If
the breakers
are
not
placed
in
service
for
some
time
,
it
is advisable
to
provide adequate
means
of
protection
.
This
may
be
done
by
keeping
the
breaker
in
its
original
shipping
container and
storing
in
a warm
,
dry
and
uncontaminated
atmosphere
.
The breakers should be stored
to
minimize
condensation
.
Moisture
can
cause
deterioration
of
metal
parts
and
high
voltage
insulation
.
Prior
to
storage
of
the breaker
,
verification
should be
made that the breaker
is
free
from
shipping
damage
and is
in
satisfactory
operating
condition
.
See DESCRIPTION
AND
OPERATION
to
verify satisfactory
operating
condition
.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
The
shipping
containers
provided
are
