Site Selection and Preparation
3.1
Site Selection Considerations
Consider the following when choosing a location for a XTE PTS Series PEIL/PESB Power Transfer Switch.
3.2
Equipment Life Span
A permanent location is desirable. Your planning and the hardware used should accommodate at least a thirty-year life.
3.3
Easements and Rights-of-Way
In advance of construction, the installing company should acquire the rights-of-way from landowners and permits or other approvals
from public authorities. It is recommended that the cabinet be placed in servitudes, on dedicated (recorded) easements, or on
property owned by the company. If possible, avoid unrecorded easements.
3.4
Safety
Use public safety road and street rights-of-way only when there is adequate space to place the enclosure and to provide safe working
conditions. The enclosure should be easily accessible with adequate space for craft personnel parking.
3.5
Obstruction
Place the enclosure where it will not create a visual or physical obstruction to either vehicles or pedestrians.
3.6
Likelihood of Damage
Choose a location that minimizes the vulnerability of the enclosure to vandalism and other damage. Use protective posts when the
enclosure is placed near parking areas where vehicles could hit it.
3.7
Distance from Other Objects
Place the enclosure so that it is at least 42 inches (107 cm) away from any obstruction, fence, hedge, etc.
