2.1. Nuvation Energy Stack Switchgear
2.1.1. Mechanical Overview
The Stack Switchgear is primarily designed to fit in a standard 19" rack with a 23"-deep cabinet.
However, other mounting possibilities are supported, as the following subsections discuss. Depending
on the desired application, brackets can be ordered with part numbers listed in

.
The Stack Switchgear is 4U (rack-units) tall. To maintain safe operating temperatures, it is
recommended to leave 1U of space above the unit for airflow. Depending on the environment, active
airflow, and ambient temperature, some cases may require additional space.
The unit weighs 23 kg [50.7 lbs]. Its overall dimensions, as well as mounting-specific ones, are

Rack-Mount, 19"
As mentioned above, this is the most common use-case for mounting the Stack Switchgear, shown in
. The mounting brackets allow for adjusting how far the unit protrudes or receeds from the
front of the rack; see
for precise dimensions. Also, these brackets are designed to secure the
front of the unit with respect to the front of the rack. As such, the following note is important.
Third-party side-support angle brackets are necessary to uphold the weight of the
unit, in this mounting application. Some examples include Hammond Manufacturing’s
products; details are available on their website.
