Vertical Section Enclosures
Each Evolution MCC vertical section is assembled with
two full-side sheets having openings near the top and
bottom for lateral busing and wiring between sections.
Multiple sections are joined together at the factory in
three-section (maximum) shipping splits. Each shipping
split is provided with continuous floor sills and a lifting
angle. Floor sills and lifting angles are field removable.
Each shipping split includes a continuous non-removable
main horizontal bus. Main bus splice bars are provided
within each shipping split for field connecting main
busses. Refer to motor control center outline drawings
furnished by the General Electric Company for location
of shipping splits within each motor control center
lineup. Hinged doors are provided over horizontal and
