Figure 14. General Working Clearance Requirements
Installation of Top Entry Conduits
After the motor control center is in place and leveled, and
the sections are joined together, conduits can be brought
into the tops of sections as required. Figure 15 and
Figure 16 show the conduit entry space available at the
tops of standard sections. Refer to drawings furnished by
GE for deviations on specific installations. Note: Top rear
entrance should only be used with full rear accessibility.
For plenum-less Arc Resistant design, the conduits can
be brought into the tops of the sections through front
or rear flaps as required. For Arc Resistant sections with
plenum the conduit can be assembled on top of the
plenum. GE offers an additional pull box for higher conduit
space requirement. The Pull box can be assembled on
top of the incoming section.
Always remove top cover plates when drilling holes.
This prevents small metal chips from falling into the
panel and cause serious damage.
