Install Enclosures
Mounting Auxiliary and DRd Enclosures Together
One DRd may be bussed to the AX series auxiliary enclosure, which contains a main circuit breaker
(MCB) for power distribution to the adjacent DRd enclosure.
Two DRd12 enclosures may be cross-bussed to an AX12X which is designed to provide main lug or
main breaker input feed termination to the adjacent DRd12 enclosures.
The wall must be strong enough to hold all enclosures fully populated with modules, conduit and wire.
See
Where to Install the Enclosure
for weight, dimension and clearance requirements.
1:
Determine where your enclosures will be installed using the weight and dimension requirements
detailed in
Where to Install the Enclosure
2:
Use the measured slot dimensions located in the graphic below to mark the hole locations for the
mounting hardware.
3:
Drill the holes and install the mounting hardware for each enclosure.
• Four 8 mm (3/8 in) bolts or screws 50–100 mm (2–4 in) long, and suitable wall plugs are
suggested mounting hardware (lag bolts recommended).
• Both the surface and the mounting hardware must support the weight of the enclosure unit
fully populated with modules.
• Expose at least 25 mm (1 in) of threads for mounting.
Note:
The AX series enclosure is best installed to the left of the DRd in main lug and main
breaker applications and must be installed between two DRd12 enclosures in a cross-
bussed application.
