EQUIPMENT
INSTAIIATION
PRIOR
TO
INSTAII.ATION
Before any installation work is
performed,
study all
drawings furnished by G.E. Co. for the
particular
installa-
tion. These include arrangement drawings
(front
and
plan
view), connection and elementary diagrams,
installation
drawings and a summary
of
the equipment. When request-
ing information from
the factory on
any specific item
furnished
with
the equipment, refer to
the item
by
sum-
mary and identification number wherever
possible,
Any
material
external to
the
equipment which
may
be
required
to meet local codes
(such
as mats, screens, railings, etc.)
is not furnished.
LOCATION
In
locating AKD-6
switchgear,
provide
adequate aisle
space at the front
and rear of the equipment,
The recom-
mended
aisle
space
is shown on
the
floor
plan
drawing,
and is in
accordance with N.E.C. Article 110. Local codes
should
be checked for any special aisle
requirements.
The equipment should be
placed
in an area where
clean
air
is free to
circulate
around and above it. Since air
is
taken into the
units at the bottom
and is exhausted at the
top,
a
location
with
good
air
flow
will
provide
more effi-
cient operation.
FOUNDATION
REQUIREMENTS
Indoor Equipment-Suitable
means
must be
provided
by
the
purchaser
for mounting and
anchoring the switchgear
to the floor.
CAUTION:
IF THE FOUNDATIO]V
IS
SUA-
]
ECT TO V I B RATIONS, SPECIAL MOU
NTI NG
MUST BE PROVIDED TO
PREVENT THE
TRANSMITTAL OF VIBRATIONS
TO THE
ESUIPMENT.
Although the equipment is furnished with built-in
chan-
nels
so that it can be mounted directly
on
a
smooth, level
floor, it is recommended that recessed steel
channels be
installed by the
purchaser
for supporting the equipment.
The
floor
channels under
the front and rear
switchgear
channels should be embedded in a level concrete
slab
with
their top surfaces flush with the finished
floor. It is
es-
sential that
these
steel channels be level and aligned
with
each
other
prior
to final anchoring, and that
the center
switchgear channel be supported
by the finish
floor to avoid
distortion of the switchgear structure,
If
the
gear
is raised
above the floor
level
by
the mounting channels, the center
switchgear channel must be supported
at the same level.
If other equipment
is
installed in the same
lineup,
all
channels must
be
level and
aligned
with each other.
