Packing and Transportation

General

The MNS R switchboards are delivered either in single cubicles or in shipping units not exceeding 2
meters in lenght, taking also into consideration the type of equipment installed and the available space
for handling the switchgear at the erection site.
If no special instruction are given by the customer, the switchboards are delivered with standard pack-
aging, according to ABB internal instructions, and a suitable method of shipping is selected.

Packing

The cubicles are protected by suitable packaging during transport and possible intermediate storage.
