Installation of top entry conduits
After the motor control center is in place and 
leveled, and the sections are joined together, 
conduits can be brought into the tops of sections 
as required. Figure 12 and Figure 13 show the 
conduit entry space available at the tops of 
standard sections. Refer to drawings for 
deviations on specific installations.
 Top rear entrance should only be used with 
full rear accessibility. 
 
Equipment wiring
When pulling, bending, and terminating 
field wiring, avoid scraping, cutting or 
otherwise damaging cable insulation  
or strands.
Always remove top cover plates when 
drilling holes. This prevents small metal 
chips from falling into the panel and cause 
serious damage.

For plenum-less arc-resistant design, the conduits 
can be brought into the tops of the sections 
through front or rear flaps as required. For 
arc-resistant sections with plenum the conduit 
can be assembled on top of the plenum. ABB offers 
an additional pull box for higher conduit space 
requirement. The Pull box can be assembled on 
top of the incoming section.
