Disconnect/Test and Connected (Control circuit checkout) positions is covered in the next section. The following rules should always be observed when inserting
a controller into the MCC compartment.
• NOTE: ABB has specic accessories to be used with ABB controllers.
• ALWAYS compare the controller ratings nameplate with the MCC ratings nameplate. Verify controller secondary control voltage ratings are in
agreement with the MCC control voltage ratings.
• DO NOT attempt to insert the controller prior to a complete inspection of both controller and MCC compartment controller and compartment
must be free of tools, obstructions or foreign objects.
