Switchboard Preparation
Remove dirt and debris from the foundation and surrounding area before moving
the switchboard into final position.
After the switchboard has been moved to its final installation site, take each
shipping section off its shipping stringers. For switchboards greater than 24 in.
(610 mm) deep, the center base channel can be removed.
Remove all packing materials. If the switchboard is equipped with a bottom closure
plate in each vertical section, remove and retain the plates for reuse. When bottom
closure plates are furnished, the customer must make any holes necessary for
conduit entering the bottom of the switchboard. After making the holes, reinstall the
closure plate.
General Installation
Install the switchboard into its final position by leveling progressively each section
and bolting the frames together, if separated. Position shipping sections as follows:
1. Maneuver each shipping section into the desired position using the procedures
under “Handling” on page 9.
2. Carefully lower the section over the conduit stubs to comply with the “available
conduit area” as shown in the bottom view of the equipment drawings.
Otherwise, there might not be sufficient cable bending space.
3. Level the shipping section.
4. After installation of each section is complete, make the through bus splice
connection to the preceding section before installing the next section.
NOTIC
HAZARD OF IMPROPER STRESS ON BUS
Level and align adjacent shipping sections with one another. Ensure proper
alignment of horizontal main through bus and proper splice bus connections.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
