Foundation frame and floor mounting
The foundation generally consists of concrete, with a cut-
out for cable or busbar entry. The cubicles are positioned
on a foundation frame made of steel girders. In addition to
the permissible deviations of the installation area (Fig. 8/5),
it must be ensured that
• The foundation is precisely aligned
• The butt joints of more than one foundation frame are
smooth
• The surface of the frame is in the same plane as the
surface of the finished floor
Two typical examples for switchboard installation are:
• Installation on a raised floor (Fig. 8/6)
• Foundation frame mounted on concrete (Fig. 8/7)
For the mounting point on the foundation frame, please
see Fig. 8/8 for single-front and Fig. 8/9 for double-front
systems. Fig. 8/10 shows dimensions of the corner cubicle.
Dimensions in mm are referred to the cubicle widths W and
cubicle depth D.
