Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes the mechanical installation of the Medium Voltage Compact Skid “MVCS” and gives instruc-
tions on how to select the location and guidelines to build the foundation for the MVCS. Always obey the local
regulations.
Safety
See Safety instructions.
Before you move the MVCS, see instructions in chapter Storing, lifting and transporting.
Tools
Use the following tools to move the MVCS, to fasten the MVCS foundation, and to tighten the connections:
• Crane, forklift, or pallet truck (with sufficient load capacity)
• Pozidriv and Torx (2.5 to 6 mm) screwdrivers with short and long heads or bits
• Torque wrench
• Set of wrenches and sockets.
Foundation guidelines
For information on the MVCS dimensions and footprint, see drawing “MVCS Footprint”.
Always follow the local rules and laws when designing and constructing the foundation. Pay attention to the proper
planning and constructing of the foundation. For example, an improper foundation can cause settling of the MVCS or
difficulty opening the door.
Follow the below guidelines:
• To prevent any risk of corrosion, install the MVCS higher than its surroundings so that surface water will not collect
around its perimeter.
• Tilt the surface of the surrounding ground at least 50 mm per meter (two inches per 40 in). This ensures that
surface water flows away from the MVCS.
• Consider local conditions, such as soil type, frost protection, rain amounts, etc. There needs to be at least 300 +
200 mm gravel under the foundation.
• Consider the required cable bending radius and installation room.
• The built-on site user platform around the MVCS must be at least one meter (40 in) wide. If it is narrower, service
work can be difficult.
• FIMER recommends that the entire perimeter of the MVCS must rest on the foundation.
• Check the load carrying capacity of the ground and potential local special requirements (for example, earthquake
or typhoon anchoring) of the construction area. Use materials suitable for the local conditions and requirements.
Placing the MVCS on the foundation
WARNING!
Before lifting the MVCS onto the foundation, make sure the foundation is aligned well, hardened and stable.
1. Measure the level of the foundation and the tilting of the surface of the surrounding ground around the foundation.
Obey Foundation guidelines.
2. Make sure the foundation below the MVCS is leveled. Inclination up to 0.1 degrees is permitted.
3. Lift the MVCS onto the foundation. Obey the instructions in section Foundation guidelines. Make sure that the
foundation does not move. Also make sure that the station is stable and in direct contact with the foundation.
4. When the MVCS is placed on the foundation, measure the height and inclination of the MVCS. Check the slope of
the surface of the surrounding ground around the MVCS.
