Pre-Installation: Receiving,
Handling and Storage
Receiving
Upon delivery, use the packing list to confirm the
number of items against what was received to
ensure that the shipment is complete. Any
discrepancies should be noted on the freight bill
before signing. Report any shortages or damage to
the freight carrier immediately.
Immediately upon receipt of the panelboard interior
and trim, the packaging should be carefully removed
and a thorough inspection of each section should be
made to detect any damage incurred during
shipment. Any damage should be noted on the bill of
lading (freight bill) and the consignee receiving the
equipment should notify the freight carrier.
FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE FREIGHT CARRIER
OF DAMAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER MAY
RESULT IN THE CONSIGNEE ASSUMING THE
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
After inspection, the components should be returned
to its packaging until it is ready for installation.
Handling
Depending on the configuration, panelboards may
weigh in excess of 100 pounds. Before moving or
lifting, verify that the panel is within safe limits of the
installers lifting capacity.
Storage
Panelboards, which cannot be immediately installed
and energized, should be stored in an indoor dry,
clean and heated environment.
Do not store in areas where conditions such as
dampness, changes in temperature, cement dust or
a corrosive atmosphere is present.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. WILL CAUSE SEVERRE INJURY
OR DEATH.
ONLY THOSE PROFESSIONALS TRAINED AND
QUALIFIED ON ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION
PANELBOARDS SHOULD INSTALL AND/OR SERVICE
THIS EQUIPMENT
Removal of Existing
Panelboard Interior
DO NOT work on electrical equipment while
energized. Verify power entering the equipment is
de-energized at the source.
Follow appropriate lockout procedure to this panel
before starting work.
Electrical Disconnection of
Existing Panelboard
After panel has been de-energized and the feeder
device is locked out, removal procedure can begin.
Carefully identify all connections, load and line
paying particular attention to main incoming
phasing.
Identify correct phasing on the mains and
disconnect all phases, neutral and ground
connections.
Identify and disconnect all load wires (line & neutral)
connected to existing branch breakers, noting
current values. Before proceeding, it is important to
verify that the line and load cables (phase, neutrals
and grounds) are long enough to connect to the new
interior.
Proceed to disconnect all electrical connections
attached to the existing interior. Once the
conductors are disconnected from the old interior,
the cables should be formed in the space provided.
Care should be taken in forming insulated cables to
ensure that no insulation is forced permanently
against the edges of any metal parts.
Removal of Existing Interior
Remove all chassis mounting hardware. Carefully
remove chassis to ensure that cable insulation is not
damaged by sharp edges.
To allow for adequate bonding, all attempts should
be made to utilize existing mounting studs/system in
the enclosure.
If it is not feasible to use existing mounting system,
remove all protrusions to allow for a flat mounting
surface.
Installation of RetroFit
Panelboard Interior
