WARNING

OPERATING AN MVS-ND OR MVS-ND SWITCH WITH A KEY INTERLOCK 

BOLT EXTENDED WILL RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND MAY ALSO 

EXPOSE A PERSON TO BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THE KEY MUST BE 

INSERTED INTO THE INTERLOCK AND ROTATED TO RETRACT THE LOCKING 

BOLT BEFORE OPERATING AN MVS-ND SWITCH.

Installation

For more information regarding the receiving, handling, storing and 

installation of the equipment, please reference the “Instructions 

for receiving, handling, storing and installation of medium voltage 

switchgear” in addition to customer drawing package .
Refer to shipping list for location of the bus, hardware, and all other 

joining and installation material .

Floor requirements

The finished foundation surface shall be flat and level within  

0 .06 in . (1 .6 mm) in 36 in . (914 mm) in any direction, left to right, 

front to back, and diagonally . Alternatively a local flatness “FF” value 

of 50 or higher and an accompanying “FL” value of 37 to 40 as 

defined in industry standard ASTM-E1155-96 and industry standard 

ACl 117-90 may be used to establish the flatness and levelness of 

the finished foundation .

Joining type MVS-ND enclosures

Access to MVS-ND switchgear vertical sections  

containing switches

Each MVS-ND switch is shipped from the factory in the closed 

position to maintain alignment during shipping and handling . When 

handling MVS-ND switchgear, confirm the switches are in the closed 

position . The safety interlocking prevents opening of the door of the 

vertical section when the switch is closed .
In order to gain access to the interior, be sure the switchgear is on 

a true and level surface according to the floor plan of the customer 

drawings . To open a manually operated MVS-ND switch, insert the 

operating handle and push down . When the switch opens, the door 

may be opened .

Identification of shipping splits

Refer to the front view on the switchgear assembly drawing 

supplied with the switchgear . Beneath this view, shipping splits will 

be identified in relation to group numbers for each vertical section . 

Normally, shipping sections will not exceed 90 in . (2286 mm)  

in width .

Procedures for joining MVS-ND enclosures at shipping splits

During the following steps, please refer to Figure 2 .

Figure 2. Joining the MVS-ND Enclosures.
