Section 3—Receiving,
Handling, and Storing the
MCC
MCCs are constructed in shipping blocks of up to three vertical sections.
This allows for ease of handling during transportation and installation. The
main horizontal bus of all shipping blocks will be spliced together at the job
site with the use of captive horizontal splice bars.
Before shipment from the factory, the MCC is inspected visually, electrically,
and mechanically by professional quality control analysts. Certification of
quality control testing is available upon request.
After leaving Quality Control, each shipping block is carefully packaged and
attached to a skid (see Figure 2 or Figure 3).
