CAUTION
Remove all cartons, containers and any other
miscellaneous packaging and packing material from
inside the switchgear sections before energizing any
internal heaters. To prevent fire, remove any plastic or
polyethylene shrouding from the switchgear sections
before energizing any internal heaters.
3. If dampness or condensation may be encountered in
the storage location, heaters must be placed inside
the switchgear sections to prevent moisture damage.
Approximately 250 watts of heat in each section is
required. On outdoor switchgear equipment, this
may be accomplished by making a temporary power
supply connection to the heaters already installed in
the equipment.
CAUTION
If the space heaters are to be temporarily energized
from external source, it is important to remove the
fuses on the secondary side of the control power
transformer. This precaution is to prevent a feed back
of higher voltage to other portions of the equipment
through the CPT primary.
