WARNING
OPERATING AN MVS-ND OR MVS-ND SWITCH WITH A KEY INTERLOCK
BOLT EXTENDED WILL RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND MAY ALSO
EXPOSE A PERSON TO BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THE KEY MUST BE
INSERTED INTO THE INTERLOCK AND ROTATED TO RETRACT THE LOCKING
BOLT BEFORE OPERATING AN MVS-ND SWITCH.

Installation
For more information regarding the receiving, handling, storing and
installation of the equipment, please reference the “Instructions
for receiving, handling, storing and installation of medium voltage
switchgear” in addition to customer drawing package .
Refer to shipping list for location of the bus, hardware, and all other
joining and installation material .
Floor requirements
The finished foundation surface shall be flat and level within
0 .06 in . (1 .6 mm) in 36 in . (914 mm) in any direction, left to right,
front to back, and diagonally . Alternatively a local flatness “FF” value
of 50 or higher and an accompanying “FL” value of 37 to 40 as
defined in industry standard ASTM-E1155-96 and industry standard
ACl 117-90 may be used to establish the flatness and levelness of
the finished foundation .
Joining type MVS-ND enclosures
Access to MVS-ND switchgear vertical sections
containing switches
Each MVS-ND switch is shipped from the factory in the closed
position to maintain alignment during shipping and handling . When
handling MVS-ND switchgear, confirm the switches are in the closed
position . The safety interlocking prevents opening of the door of the
vertical section when the switch is closed .
In order to gain access to the interior, be sure the switchgear is on
a true and level surface according to the floor plan of the customer
drawings . To open a manually operated MVS-ND switch, insert the
operating handle and push down . When the switch opens, the door
may be opened .
Identification of shipping splits
Refer to the front view on the switchgear assembly drawing
supplied with the switchgear . Beneath this view, shipping splits will
be identified in relation to group numbers for each vertical section .
Normally, shipping sections will not exceed 90 in . (2286 mm)
in width .
Procedures for joining MVS-ND enclosures at shipping splits
During the following steps, please refer to Figure 2 .
