The following estimates may be used in foundation loading
calculations. These estimated weights are for each vertical
section within a shipping group. The estimates are based on
maximum conditions; actual equipment weights will probably
be lower.
Indoor
22” wide with 4 breakers 2850 lbs. (1300kg)
32” wide with 2 breakers 3050 lbs. (1385kg)
32” wide with 1 breaker and fuse carriage 3150 lbs. (1430kg)
Transition box 680 lbs. (310kg)
Outdoor
22” wide with 4 breakers 4200 lbs. (1910kg)
32” wide with 2 breakers 4550 lbs. (2070kg)
32” wide with 1 breaker and fuse carriage 4650 lbs. (2110kg)
Transition box 680 lbs. (310kg)
These estimates should be increased for unusual secondary or
auxiliary equipment, impact loading, or for seismic conditions,
if required.
