4. Lifting and transport
4.1 Transport and handling
Transportation of the equipment, especially by road, must be carried out using appropriate vehicles and
methods to protect the components (particularly electronic components) from violent shocks, humidity,
vibration, etc.
4.2 Unpacking and checking
The components of the packaging must be disposed on in accordance with the regulations in force in the
country of installation.
When you open the package, check that the equipment is undamaged and make sure all the components are
present. If you find any defects or damage, stop unpacking and consult the carrier, and also promptly inform
the Service ABB.
Equipment weight
Device Weight (kg/lb) Lifting points Holes or Eyebolts UNI2947
Power module 76 kg 4M8. Kit of handles (04) and eyebolts (to be ordered)
Wiring box ~ 77 kg 4M8. Kit of handles (04) and eyebolts (to be ordered)
4.3 Lifting
ATTENTION –ARisk of injury due to the heavy weight of the equipment!
ABB usually stores and protects individual components by suitable means to make their transport and
subsequent handling easier. Nonetheless, as a rule, it is necessary to turn to the experience of specialised
staff to take charge of loading and unloading components.
The power module and the wiring box must be lifted using the 4 handles (04) or alternatively using suitable
lifting equipment. The means used for lifting must be suitable to bear the weight of the equipment.
ATTENTION –AIn case of manual lifting the number of required operators necessary to lift the
equipment must be in accordance to local regulations relating lifting limits per operator.
The handles (04) must be mounted into the designated holes located on the enclosures; If lifting with ropes,
M8 eyebolts must be mounted in the same holes.
ATTENTION –AHandling and installation operations shall be performed only by using the special
tools and accessories provided with “PVS-175 Installation Kit” that have to be ordered separately. The
use of these equipment are mandatory to safely install the inverter. Refer to “Kit of recommended
spare parts” chapter content in the user manual for further information.
ATTENTION –ADO NOT grab the equipment from the rear flange! Risk of injury due to cutting
surfaces and risk of equipment damange. Always use proper lifting equipment!
