Volumes: Limit the speed of the forklift to 10 kmph.
Storage of goods: Use both legs of the forklift.

with all safety precations and strict supervision by trained
personnel.
If the packing case is damaged, open the cases and
inspect the PCCs. Report any damage or loss of
components to the transport/carrier and lodge a claim
with the insurance agency or inform your nearest
E&A office.

HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION

In case of handling by lifting crane,

Suspend ropes from the hook and pass them under the
wooden pallet at the bottom of the TU.
Center of gravity indicators and chain marks are
provided on the TU as shown in Figure11.
Use PP (Poly-propylene) ropes of minimum 1 diameter
for this purpose. Choose the diameter of the rope
according to the weight of the TU which is mentioned
in GA your drawing.
Verify that the route from the unloading spot to the
erection spot has free access.
Unload the TUs after reaching the unloading spot.

o We recommend handling and shifting panels
o o in packed condition only.

DO NOT MOVE THE PANEL BY INSERTING A


CROWBAR BELOW THE BASE FRAME. This
may cause damage to the base frame.

In case the TU is unpacked before reaching the site, use


the lifting channel provided at the top of the panel for
easy transportation Figure 9 & Figure 10 .

Figure 10 - Lifting angles

While unloading a TU, ensure that the remaining


TUs are placed securely on the truck and are not
in danger of toppling over.

If rollers are used for placing the sections on the foundation,


retain the base plank to avoid damage to the baseframe.

Ensure that:

The load of the TU is equally distributed by using all


the lifting angle holes.
The sling of the crane is in good condition.
The TU does not tilt or topple during transit.

Type TS PCC 14
RECEIPT AND HANDLING

To facilitate transportation and handling, the Power Control


Centre (PCC) TS is split into multiple sections/ transport units
(TUs). Each section is wrapped with a HDPE (High Density
Polyethylene) cover and packed in a wooden case. To arrive
at the approximate overall dimensions of the
packing cases, add 300 mm to the dimensions of the
respective section.

List of equipments and special tools for site erection


and assembly
Crane and truck for equipment shifting.
Slings and ropes - As per requirement.
Rolling pipes - 10 Nos.
Channels - 10 m.
Crowbars - 4 Nos.
Welding machines - 1 No.
Spanner sets - 1 Set.

(Ring & Open spanner size 13mm, 17mm, 19mm, and


24mm. Box or pipe spanner 13mm.)

For safe handling lifting angle (θ) should be greater


than 45° Figure 9 & Figure 10.

Type TS PCC 15
STORAGE

Type TS PCC 16
STORAGE

If the PCC is to be commissioned at a later date, the


following precautions should be taken.

OUTDOOR STORAGE SHOULD BE AVOIDED. Store all


cases indoors, in a clean, dry and well ventilated place
where seepage of water and condensation does not
occur.
Maintain a minimum temperature of - 5 C and humidity
of less than 50%.
If civil construction is being carried out in the vicinity,
ensure that the PCC is completely protected from
debrisand dust.
Keep proper tags / markings on the panels for easy
traceability.
Unpacking of the TUs at site is preferable. In case it
becomes necessary to unpack the TUs during storage,
make sure that packing of all the internal components
e.g. covers on the relays and meters mounted on the
door etc remain intact (Highlighted in the figure
below). Also inspect the PCC for scratches, if any.
Please use paint supplied with the loose materials to
touch up scratch marks.

The switchboard should be stored indoors


with proper ventilation. Moist / corrosive
environments may affect the metallic parts
and cause their insulation to deteriorate.
