,

as

defined

in

ANSI

.

All

parts

are

completely

enclosed

within

grounded

metal

barriers

.

Secondary

control

devices

and

primary

circuits

are

isolated

from

each

other

by

shutters

or

barriers

.

Primary

bus

and

joints

are

completely

encased

with

insulation

materials

to

suit

the

voltage

class

of

the

equipment

.

Siemens

switchgear

carries

a

type

designation

,

or

,

as

shown

in

Table

1

.

These

designations

may

appear

on

drawings

and

familiarity

with

them

will

simplify

communications

with

the

.

Indoor

equipment

is

arranged

with

upper

lower

primary

compartments

and

a

center

secondary

compartment

in

the

front

of

the

equipment

.

Generally

may

contain

either

a

or

interior

auxiliary

equipment

,

such

as

voltage

or

,

located

behind

a

.

The

front

panels

can

be

used

for

.

Primary

may

be

opened

to

IMPORTANT

:

Do

not

Also

,

do

not

remove

inspection

.

Equipment

must

be

inspected

by

carrier

prior

to

handling

after

.

This

eliminates

loss

due

to

claims

by

carrier

that

equipment

was

damaged

or

further

damaged

on

.

Be

sure

equipment

is

protected

from

any

further

damage

by

covering

it

properly

after

.

If

practical

,

make

If

inspection

for

it

must

be

done

found

,

the

Inspection

and

Unpacking

Inspect

the

equipment

as

soon

as

possible

after

receiving

for

any

damage

that

may

have

occurred

in

transit

.

Before

unpacking

,

examine

the

package

itself

,

as

package

may

indicate

an

area

of

damage

.

Be

careful

when

unpacking

equipment

.

The

use

of

sledge

hammers

and

crowbars

may

damage

the

,

examine

equipment

for

any

possible

damage

.

Check

the

manifest

to

be

certain

that

all

items

have

been

received

Lifting

There

are

a

number

of

methods

that

can

be

used

in

handling

the

switchgear

which

,

when

properly

employed

,

will

not

damage

the

switchgear

sections

.

The

handling

method

used

will

be

determined

by

conditions

and

available

equipment

at

the

installation

site

.

Lifting

with

a

crane

is

the

preferred

method

of

handling

;

however

,

overhead

obstructions

or

low

ceilings

often

dictate

the

method

to

be

used

.

Rollers

,

may

be

used

prior

Recommended

lifting

of

is

by

means

of

lifting

cables

connected

to

an

overhead

crane

.

The

lifting

cables

are

connected

to

One

set

of

another

set

of

lift

bars

is

located

closer

to

the

middle

of

the

switchgear

,

as

illustrated

in

Figure

.

A

crane

with

sufficient

height

should

be

used

so

the

angle

(

from

)

on

the

lifting

cables

will

be

at

least

45

degrees

,

when

viewed

from

the

front

or

the

rear

.

A

lesser

angle

could

cause

the

equipment

to

be

damaged

.

The

lifting

cables

must

have

spreaders

from

front

to

to

prevent

twisting

Special

attention

should

be

given

to

the

foundation

information

contained

in

this

manual

as

well

as

the

information

provided

on

the

equipment

drawings

.

Be

sure

that

the

foundation

conforms

to

the

requirements

described

in

this

manual

and

the

general

arrangement

drawing

.

Outdoor

Foundations

Whichever

type

of

foundation

is

used

(

e

.

g

.

,

concrete

slab

,

sill

channels

,

piers

or

pilings

)

,

it

must

have

smooth

and

level

surfaces

.

Surfaces

supporting

the

switchgear

must

be

in

the

same

horizontal

plane

within

1

/

16

"

(

1.6

mm

)

.

If

these

conditions

are

not

met

,

it

will

be

necessary

to

use

shims

when

installing

the

switchgear

.

For

outdoor

switchgear

,

support

shall

be

provided

at

each

end

and

at

the

side

of

every

second

cubicle

,

so

that

the

span

between

supports

does

not

exceed

36

"

(

914

mm

)

.

Refer

to

Figures

8

and

10

,

and

the

switchgear

general

arrangement

drawing

for

locations

of

support

and

anchoring

points

.

If

pilings

are

used

,

the

diameter

is

to

be

determined

by

purchaser

,

;

however

,

they

should

not

be

less

than

12

"

(

305

mm

)

diameter

for

sufficient

contact

,

room

for

anchor

bolts

,

and

grouting

in

of

bed

plates

(

if

used

)

.

All

shipping

splits

must

be

properly

supported

.

Any

conduits

which

are

installed

in

concrete

must

be

perpendicular

to

switchgear

mounting

surface

.

Conduits

should

extend

a

minimum

of

6

-

3

/

4

"

(

171

mm

)

to

a

maximum

of

7

-

1

/

2

"

(

190

mm

)

above

mounting

surface

.

This

will

allow

the

conduit

to

enter

the

cubicle

and

exclude

entry

of

water

and

rodents

.

Exception

:

If

switchgear

will

be

throat

-

connected

to

a

power

transformer

,

see

"

for

both

primary

and

Foundation

-

General

Requirements

Prior

to

installation

of

the

switchgear

,

careful

design

,

planning

and

construction

of

the

foundation

or

base

on

which

the

switchgear

will

rest

must

be

made

.

A

thorough

analysis

and

careful

construction

may

alleviate

many

problems

at

the

time

of

installation

,

and

during

operation

.

It

is

important

that

a

true

and

level

surface

be

provided

,

capable

of

supporting

the

weight

of

the

switchgear

and

other

related

equipment

.

If

the

switchgear

cannot

be

lowered

over

conduits

because

of

headroom

or

other

restrictions

,

conduit

couplings

may

be

grouted

in

flush

with

foundation

,

and

conduit

nipples

added

after

the

switchgear

is

in

place

.

Conduits

should

be

capped

during

construction

to

prevent

entry

of

dirt

,

moisture

and

vermin

.

All

sill

channels

,

bed

plates

,

shims

and

anchoring

hardware

are

furnished

by

purchaser

unless

covered

by

contract

.

Indoor

Foundations

As

it

is

difficult

to

obtain

a

true

and

level

floor

on

a

concrete

slab

,

it

is

highly

recommended

that

4

"

(

minimum

)

sill

channels

be

grouted

into

the

floor

as

shown

in

Figure

7

.

The

surface

of

the

sills

should

be

slightly

above

floor

level

.

The

surfaces

of

the

sills

must

be

level

and

in

the

same

horizontal

plane

within

1

/

16

"

(

1.6

mm

)

.

There

should

be

no

projection

above

this

plane

within

the

area

covered

by

the

switchgear

.

If

the

floor

or

sills

do

not

meet

this

requirement

,

it

will

be

necessary

to

use

shims

when

installing

the

switchgear

on

the

mounting

surface

.

Figure

7

illustrates

the

location

for

sill

channels

for

anchoring

indoor

switchgear

.

Cubicles

may

be

anchored

to

sills

by

use

of

1

/

2

"

(

or

12

mm

)

diameter

anchor

bolts

,

or

welded

in

position

.

Important

:

In

the

switchgear

primary

entrance

area

,

steel

reinforcing

rods

or

mesh

in

concrete

must

not

pass

through

the

space

shown

on

the

general

arrangement

drawing

,

even

though

cored

or

bored

holes

in

concrete

may

miss

rods

or

mesh

.

A

single

phase

of

a

system

should

not

be

encircled

by

ferrous

metals

.
