3.1 Site Requirements

Foundation
Before installation, build a concrete pad and a trench on the selected ground. The
foundation construction requirements are as follows:
● The dimensions of the foundation should meet the installation and bearing
requirements of the STS.
● The horizontal error between the foundation and the contact surface of the
STS should be less than 5 mm.
● Bury a grounding grid and reserve a ground copper bar at the ground position
of the container. One end of the copper bar must be connected to the
embedded grounding grid, and the other end must be connected to the
ground point of the container. When embedding a grounding grid, reserve
sufficient length for the ground copper bar to connect to the main ground
point of the container.
● The STS adopts bottom cabling. Cables should be embedded under the LV
room and MV room in advance.
● The inner diameter of the protective tube should not be less than 1.5 times
the outer diameter of the cable (including the protective layer).
● The foundation should meet the local drainage requirements for the local
historical maximum rainfall. Drained water should be disposed of in
accordance with local laws and regulations.
● Reserve pressure relief channels for the ring main unit, and add protective
measures to prevent high temperature gas from burning nearby personnel
during pressure relief.
● The ladder should not block the low voltage and MV cables in and out. You
are advised to put the insulation ladder in front of the door during
maintenance.
● If the oil tray is at the bottom of the container, ensure good ventilation on the
top of the oil tray. Otherwise, the water vapor from the oil tray will enter the
container, resulting in condensation inside the container due to high humidity.
As a result, short circuits may occur, causing the STS failure.

2. If a dent is greater than 100 mm2 in
area or greater than 3 mm in
depth, ask the local supplier for an
appropriate repainting solution.
Procedure
Step 1 Gently polish the damaged areas using fine sandpaper to remove smudges or rust.

Figure A-1 Polishing a damaged area using sandpaper
Step 2 Dip a piece of cotton cloth into anhydrous alcohol and wipe the polished or
damaged area to remove the dirt and dust. Then wipe off the alcohol with a clean
and dry cotton cloth.
Figure A-2 Wiping a polished or damaged area using anhydrous alcohol
Step 3 Paint zinc-rich primer on the damaged coat using a brush or painting gun.
NOTICE
● If the base material is exposed in the area to be repaired, apply epoxy zinc-rich
primer, wait until the paint has dried, and then apply acrylic acid top coating.
● Select epoxy zinc-rich primer or acrylic acid top coating with a color the same
as the surface coating color of the equipment.
Step 4 Apply paint evenly to the damaged area based on the damage degree of the paint
using a spray bottle, brush, or painting gun until all damage traces are invisible.
NOTICE
● Ensure that the painting is thin, even, and smooth.

● In the case that a container pattern has different colors, to prevent undamaged
areas and those with different colors as the damaged area from being polluted
during repainting, cover such areas using white paper and adhesive tape before
repairing paint.

Figure A-3 Repainting a damaged area
Step 5 Wait for 30 minutes and check whether the painting meets the requirements.
NOTE
● The color of the repainted area must be consistent with that of the surrounding area.
Use a colorimeter to measure the color difference (ΔE), which should be less than or
equal to 3. If a colorimeter is unavailable, ensure that there is no visible edge between
the repainted area and the surrounding area. The paint should also be free of bulges,
scratches, flaking, or cracks.
● If you choose to spray paint, it is recommended that you spray paint three times before
checking the result. If the color does not meet the requirements, paint more times until
the painting meets the requirements.
