ENGLISH
Section 10—Expansion The modular design of MCCs permits easy expansion to keep pace
with an expanding electrical system. When space is available in the
existing MCC, starter units can easily be added. When no more starter
unit mounting space is available, vertical sections can be added to provide
additional space. All prepared spaces or leftover spaces must be filled with
arc-rated empty units on arc-rated Model 6 MCCs.
Starter units may be rearranged or replaced with larger units. In most cases, a
Size 2 starter unit can replace a Size 1 unit with no change in mounting space.
Ordering Information NOTE: Arc-rated MCCs must only be expanded or added onto with
arc-rated units/sections to maintain the arc containment ratings. Arc-rated
units and sections have special labels identifying them as AR (arc-rated),
typically in the locations shown in Figure 114. Customer must provide the
previous arc-rated MCC factory order number when ordering additional
arc-rated MCC equipment from factory.
When ordering additional MCC equipment, include the following information:
• Type of equipment being supplied
• Supply voltage, frequency, system type
• NEMA/EEMAC enclosure type
• Enclosure finish
• Control circuit voltage and frequency
• Optional control circuit components required (control transformers, push
buttons, pilot lights, selector switches, etc.)
• Special features
• The factory order number of the original MCC (the number is stamped
into the structure nameplate on the vertical wire trough door; the unit
label inside each control unit also contains the factory order number)
When ordering new vertical sections, also provide the following information:
• Horizontal and vertical bus capacity, material, and plating
• Bus bracing (or available fault current)
• Enclosure dimensions
