Class 3130 / 3110 Safety Information
Shipping and Storage Requirements
This equipment does not achieve its ratings until it is installed per record/as-built
drawings, installed per the instructions contained in this document, and has
operational environmental controls with appropriate settings to help mitigate
environmental influences. This equipment can also be stored in a climate controlled
area that uses both heating and cooling to maintain acceptable environmental
conditions. Indoor and outdoor rated equipment is not suitable for outdoor storage.
• The equipment should be treated as if it is in storage until it is installed and
operational. The storage area should be clean, dry (75% or less relative
humidity), and climate controlled with proper ventilation.
• To keep the equipment dry, the use of heaters is required in some cases (for
example, during seasonal or low periods of electrical loading and equipment de-
energization).
◦ Consult the Engineer of Record for the appropriate environmental control
settings or means to mitigate environmental influences.
◦ If so equipped, ensure that the thermostats and/or humidistats are set to
mitigate condensation. A minimum of watts of heat per section is suggested,
see table below.
Amperage Rating Heat Wattage
30 to 200 5
400 25
600 to 800 50
1200 100
◦ If heaters are being used with the equipment that were not included in the
equipment by Schneider Electric, they must be clean and free of debris and
grease. Greasy and/or smoky heaters can contaminate electrical insulation
and lead to dielectric breakdown and/or tracking.
• Shipping packaging is not suitable for and cannot be used by itself for equipment
storage unless otherwise indicated on the shipping packaging labeling.
• When receiving equipment, the equipment may be at a lower temperature than
the ambient air temperature. Allow time for the equipment temperature, including
the temperature of internal components, to rise to the ambient air temperature
before making openings in or otherwise disturbing the packaging. Condensation
can occur on and inside the equipment if warm air contacts cold surfaces of the
equipment. Moisture damage can occur, destroying the dielectric capabilities of
the equipment and rendering it unusable.
• The factory shipping wrap around the equipment on shipping pallets is not
suitable for non-enclosed over-the-road transportation that risks exposing the
equipment to the elements. The factory shipping wrap around the equipment
should remain on the equipment until the equipment is ready to be inspected and
stored or inspected and installed. After receiving the equipment and allowing it to
acclimate to the environment, remove the packaging and inspect the equipment
for damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is found or suspected,
immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify your Schneider Electric
representative.
• Follow these guidelines every time the equipment is moved to a new storage
location or to its final destination.
