Enclosure Security

S&C  PMX  Switchgear  incorporates  many  provisions  to  minimize  hazards  to  qualifi ed 
persons and to the general public. Each module is fabricated from 11-gauge steel sheet and 
is free-standing, and self-supporting. There are always double walls between adjoining 
modules. Provisions for future bus extension are closed with a panel that is secured 
internally.

Doors are constructed of 11-gauge hot-rolled, pickled and oiled steel sheet. Door-edge 

fl anges overlap with door-opening fl anges and are formed to create a mechanical maze 
that guards against water entry and discourages tampering or insertion of foreign objects, 
but allows ventilation to help keep the enclosure interior dry. Each door is equipped with 
a door handle. The door handle is padlockable and incorporates a hood to protect the 
padlock shackle from tampering.

Access Control

Access is from the front and rear only. Doors providing access to power fuses are mechan-
ically or key interlocked with the associated interrupter switch. Doors and hinged-bolted 
panels providing access to high-voltage components are provided with fl ush-mounted 
key-operated snaplocks and have provisions for padlocking. In addition, the hinged-bolted 
panels are secured by a pentahead bolt provided with a protective hood, midway between 
the top and bottom of the panel. Hex bolts are provided to secure the door near the top 
and bottom.
