Packing and transport

The medium voltage VD4-36kV cradle retrofit

solution CBs are delivered firmly screwed to the

floor of their containers or crates and must

always be transported or stored in an upright

position.

The circuit breaker is shipped in open condition

and with closing spring discharged. Each piece of

apparatus is protected by plastic cover to prevent

any infiltration of water during the loading and

unloading stages and to keep the dust off during

storages.
