Indoor installation
General
In order to obtain an optimum installation
sequence and ensure adherence to high quality
standards, site installation of the switchgear
should only be carried out by specially trained
and skilled personnel.
Metal-clad switchgear ships in sections. These
sections ship on disposable steel shipping bases.
Equipment is not to be permanently installed on
the shipping bases.
Unload the units as close to the installation site as
possible. Remove all drawout elements and secure all
doors and panels. To move the shipping sections to
their final position, one of four methods can be used.
Notice: Do not remove the shipping bases until
the units are set in place.
Moving the units without the shipping base will
cause irreparable damage and a hazardous
condition.
Forklift — Place forks through locations provided
in the shipping bases (figure 2, figure 3).
Make sure that forks have penetrated the entire
depth of the switchgear to engage all three
shipping channels: front, center and rear (figure 4).
Lift the switchgear frames slowly and tilt forks
slightly rearward to balance. Move carefully into
the final position, taking into account the center
of gravity (figure 5).
Towing — Use chains rated for safe handling of the
shipping splits. Consult the chain manufacturer or
local code requirements for proper safety factors.
Attach the chains to the holes at each end of the
shipping base. Secure chains to the towing
equipment. Make sure that the floor height is
consistent or provide heavy-duty steel sheets to
bridge any inconsistencies. Protect the lower edge
of the switchgear from damage by the chains.
