ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF SWITCHGEAR
EQUIPMENT

General Requirements

Before assembling or installing the switchgear equipment,

all components should be available at the site location. This

will facilitate switchgear component identification as well

as installation. The foundation should be prepared in

accordance with the instructions in SECTION 4 Equipment

Installation, and all embedded conduits installed and

capped.

NOTICE

If rollers are to be used for movement of the

equipment to its permanent installation, it is

recommended that the shipping skid not be removed

until the equipment is placed in position over the

anchor bolts.

If a transformer is not part of the installation, and/or the

equipment has been split for shipment, place the center

section on the foundation first. Assemble the remaining

sections outward from the center section, in each direction.

If the switchgear equipment is part of a Load Center Unit

Substation, the transformer section should be set on its pad

first in accordance with the instructions furnished with the

transformer. All remaining sections of the switchgear

should then be installed.

NOTICE

Before assembling and installing the switchgear

equipment, the foundation must be absolutely level

and clear of debris to prevent damage and possible

mis-operation of the switchgear equipment.

Detailed Assembly and Installation Instructions (indoor)

The recommended procedure for installation of an indoor

switchgear or Load Center Unit Substation is as follows:
