Page 10 STORAGE PREPARATION If the controller is to be stored for any length of time prior to installation, the packing should be restored for protection during that period. Where conditions permit, packing should be left intact until the controller is at the final installation position.
STORAGE Page 11 ROUTINE INSPECTION Routine scheduled inspection should established if storage for an extended period is anticipated. This is to check for condensation, corrosion, vermin, and adequacy of space heating. Prior to inspection, the equipment should be carefully examined for evidence of physical damage, corrosion, other...
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Page 12 Toshiba medium voltage controllers are AC general-purpose NEMA Class E controllers designed for applications at utilization voltages ranging from 2.3 through 6.6 They are normally used to control motor loads, although other types of loads such as transformers and capacitors possible.
