Assembling the Switchgear Line-up
Switchgear panels may be connected together to form a panel line-up. Assembling the panel line-up includes the
following operations:
Aligning the panels
Fastening the panels together
Connecting the earth bus
Lifting and Moving
Panels can be moved in a number of ways. However, care should be taken to protect the panel sections or
enclosed electrical components from damage during moving. Provision has been made along the base of the panel
to fit lifting rods. Lifting cables can then be fitted for lifting with a crane.
NOTE
The recommended method of moving the panel is using a crane. If height constraints prevent the use of
a crane, a forklift or jack may be used before removal of the wooden pallet.

Lifting rods fitted through lifting
holes in base frame
1.
Locate the four lifting holes in the base frame of the panel.
2.
Pass lifting rods through the lifting holes from one side of the panel to the other. Use lifting rods which are
approximately 30mm in diameter to ensure that rods are of sufficient tensile strength to bear the weight of the
panel.
3.
Loop lifting cables around the ends of the lifting rods on both sides of the panel.
4.
Fit spreader bars to the lifting cables at the top of the panel. The lifting cables must have spreaders from
front-to-rear and side-to-side to prevent twisting the lifting cables during transportation.

Before moving the panel:
Ensure that the crane is tall enough that the angle formed between the
arms of the sling is no more than 60° when viewed from the front or rear
of the panel.
Always use lifting equipment that is rated for the prescribed load. Only
use a crane of sufficient lifting capacity to bear the weight of the
equipment to be lifted.
Identify the centre of gravity, physical dimensions, weight etc.
Plan the path along which the switchgear will be moved, ensuring that it is
free from obstructions.
If moving more than one unit at a time, disconnect bus connections
between panels to prevent damage to the busbars.
Ensure that adequate precautions have been taken to protect personnel
before moving the panel.
Only use AuCom recommended bolts and metal connectors. Never
replace or modify a manufactured lifting component.
NOTE
Spreader bar, lifting rods, and other materials are not supplied as part of the switchgear arrangement.
