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
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 than 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 can require
space heaters and other considerations. Export packing adds extra weight and
dimensions to the shipping block.
