ENGLISH
Remove Existing Components Follow these instructions to remove the existing top horizontal wireway
cover, bus barriers, units below the topshelf, and brackets [15 in. (381 mm)
deep MCC]:
Horizontal Wireway Cover 1. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the
equipment, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Always use a properly
rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
2. Remove the screws that secure the top horizontal wireway cover to the
structure, and then remove the cover.
Horizontal Bus Barriers 1. Remove the screw located at the top of the two-piece bus barriers.
2. Remove the screw located at the bottom of the two-piece bus barriers.
3. Pull the two metal barriers out of the MCC and discard them.
Units Below the Topshelf If applicable, remove the plug-in unit below the topshelf (see Figure 136).
Refer to either the Model 5 MCC Installation and Maintenance Manual
(# 8998IM9101R5/92) or “Removing the Control Unit” on page 57 of this
bulletin for unit removal instructions. If necessary, contact your local
Schneider Electric field sales representative to obtain this bulletin.
Existing Brackets: 15 in. (381 mm) Deep
MCC Only
If the MCC is 15 in. (381 mm) deep, use a 1/8 in. (3 mm) drill bit to remove
the rivets that hold the right and left horizontal bus barrier brackets in place
(see Figure 136). Discard the brackets after removal.
NOTE: Discard all retrofit brackets if the existing bus barrier bracket “B”
(see Figure 136) is present on the 15 in. (381 mm) deep MCC. All holes are
already present for direct mounting of the horizontal bus barrier.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Drilling increases the chance of loose particles in the MCC. Confirm that
the compartment is free of loose particles before turning on power to this
equipment.
Failure to follow this instruction will result in death or serious injury.
