Chapter 1 General Information
Receiving, Handling and
Storage
Refer to the following sections for information on receiving, handling,
and storage of MCC units.
Receiving
As standard, CENTERLINE MCCs are shipped upright in shipping
blocks of one to three front-mounted sections or two to six
back-to-back sections. Each shipping block of an MCC is provided
with a lifting angle. The lifting angle is optional on NEMA Type 3R
and Type 4 MCCs. Each vertical section in a shipping block is bolted
to the shipping skid and covered with clear plastic wrap. Equipment
that extends from the structures is also protected. Protection is for
upright shipping and is not waterproof or watertight. If necessary,
other types of packaging are available.
Refer to publication 2100-IN040
for receiving, handling, and storage
instructions. This publication is shipped with each MCC, attached to
the outside of the MCC within the layer of clear plastic wrap. For
additional information about the handling, installation, operation and
maintenance of MCCs rated more then not 600V, consult NEMA ICS
2.3-1995.
Export Packaging
A maximum of three vertical sections standing upright can be shipped
with export packaging together in one block. The MCC is bolted to a
skid and wrapped in poly wrap suitable for occasional water-spray; a
wooden frame and chipboard surround the sections. Export
packaging is not watertight, waterproof or intended for long-term
storage. Extended storage may require space heaters and other
considerations. Export packing adds extra weight and dimensions to
the shipping block.
