Section 3: Installation

3.1 Procedure

To install Ampgard AR equipment, refer to the following figures and 

tables for information specific to the arc resistant product and refer 

to IB48041 for information specific to 400 A starter or IB48043 for 

information specific to 800 A starter.

Figure 12. Footprint and lag-down bolt locations. (Shown with 

24” W Inc. line and 36” W starter for non-seismic application.)

1.  These are the locations of 0.88 in. (22.4 mm) diameter mounting 

holes for securing an Ampgard AR vertical section/structure to a 

finished foundation.  Use 0.50 in. (12 mm) diameter SAE Grade 5 

hardware tightened to specifications shown in 

Table 5

 is recom-

mended. 

 

Use of other post-installed mechanical anchor systems, bonded/

adhesive type systems, pre-installed cast-in-place systems 

such as shear lugs, L-bolts, and J-bolts, or plug welding the arc 

resistant MV MCC vertical section at the mounting hole locations 

to cast-in-place structural steel materials or to a steel house 

foundation is sole responsibility of others.  Alternative mounting 

systems must have equal or greater average ultimate tensile and 

shear load capabilities as SAE Grade 5 hardware.  In addition 

to the load capabilities of the mounting system, the bearing 

strength and bearing surface area at each arc resistant MV MCC 

vertical section mounting hole location must be considered.  

Consult a licensed structural or civil engineer prior to selecting a 

mounting system if a system other than that recommended is 

preferred.

2.  This is a medium-voltage cable conduit entry locations when 

entering from the floor.  See shop order floor plan for recom-

mended conduit locations when bottom entry is being used.  

Conduit projection must not exceed 2.00 in. (50.8 mm).

3.  Location of low-voltage control conduit wiring opening.  Conduits 

are limited to a projection of 1.00 in. (25.4 mm) above the 

finished floor or inside the top cover when such conduit entry is 

from the top.  Maximum conduit size is 1.25 in. (31.8 mm).

4.  This is a medium-voltage cable conduit entry locations in an 

incoming line vertical section when entering from the floor.  See 

the shop order floor plan for recommended conduit locations 

when bottom entry is being used.  Conduit projection must not 

exceed 2.00 in. (50.8 mm).

5.  Minimum clearance to the side of an Ampgard AR MV MCC.
6.  Minimum front clearance recommended.  In addition, the local 

authority having jurisdiction may also require a larger distance.

7.  Minimum clearance to the rear of an Ampgard AR.
8.  Finished foundation surface shall be level within 1/16 of an in. 

(1.5 mm) in 36 in. (914.4 mm) left-to-right, front-to-back, and 

diagonally.

ments.
