Moisture Contamination Avoidance and Mitigation

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
  • Store the equipment in a clean, dry (including no condensation), well-ventilated area with an ambient temperature of approximately 70°F (21°C).
  • If heaters are furnished in the assembly, energize them from an external source. When energizing heaters from an external source, remove the primary and secondary overcurrent protective devices from the control power transformer.
  • If heaters are not installed in the assembly, and the area is cold and damp, use a temporary heating source within the assembly. A minimum of 125 W of heat per section is recommended.
  • Avoid greasy, smoky heaters that can deposit carbon on insulation, which could lead to tracking and insulation breakdown.
  • If moisture, condensation, or chemical ingress is observed, do not energize the equipment. If the equipment is already energized, de-energize it immediately.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Remove all flammable material in the vicinity of the heaters, such as packaging, accessories in boxes, and documentation, before energizing the heaters.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
