Distribution section with two high 800 or 1200A Vacu-Break is 28 inches (711 mm) deep.
Distribution section with two high WL breakers is 28 inches deep minimum and distribution section with two high bolted pressure switches is 38 inches deep minimum

Service Sections
Typical switchboards require one or more service main disconnects. The main disconnects are mounted into a Service Section and typically feed one or more distribution sections. In some applications, the main service disconnect is required to be located remote to distribution portion of the equipment and is considered a Remote Main. Service sections can be fed by a variety of means such as cable, busway, vault stubs, and transformers.

To provide additional room for top line cable routing where needed, pull box extensions are available in heights of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 inches to mount on top of any standard service section.

When fed from underground, a separate pull section is usually added. The service section is then fed from the adjacent underground pull section.

All main disconnect devices equipped for bottom feed will accept cable directly from underground into the service section. Choose Bussed or

Non-Bussed Pull Sections

With Siemens switchboards, non-bussed pull section, or a bussed pull section for underground feed can be selected. The unique bussed section permits cable to be run straight from underground to the bus bars at the top of the section.

Non-bussed pull sections have openings for carrying the underground feed cables to the service section bus.

Bussed and non-bussed pull sections may be used with overhead services.

Service Sections House A Variety of Equipment

Utility Metering
In addition to the main disconnect, the service section usually contains utility metering provisions. “Hot” metering (current transformers on the line side of the main disconnect) is normal, but

“cold” metering provisions (current transformers on the load side of main disconnect) can also be furnished.

Whether hot or cold metering is required, the current transformers provided by the utility company will be mounted in a completely separate compartment. The compartment will be built to utility company standards, with hinged doors and provisions for metering equipment provided by the utility.

Customer Metering
The service section often provides space for many user instrument requirements. Either analog or digital metering can be mounted in the service section along with the main disconnect. A separate section would be needed only if a large instrument or an unusual number of instruments are required.

Main Disconnect Options
Provide Flexibility
Main protective devices can be mounted individually for quick access in an emergency. Siemens switchboards will accommodate a variety of main protective devices. Selection depends on the characteristics of your individual electrical system.

Disconnect Devices
Molded Case Circuit Breakers
(Thermal Magnetic) Molded case thermal magnetic circuit breakers are available 15-2000 amperes with interruption ratings up to 200,000 AIC. Interruption ratings are typically tested at 240V, 480V or 600V.

These breakers come with a wide array of accessories, including: shunt trip, motor operator, auxiliary switches, alarm switches as well as several others.

Solid-State
Solid state molded case circuit breakers are available in frame sizes from 150-1600 amperes and up to 600V AC. Each of these breakers has solid-state circuitry which assures minimal damage through the quick interruption control of fault currents. They allow for finite adjustment of short-time delay and ground fault and feature zone selective interlocking as well as MODBUS and PROFIBUS communication.

Fuseless Current Limiting
Current limiting molded case circuit breakers, 400-1600A, up to 1600V AC, with thermal-magnetic protection provide coordinated protection for branch devices and circuits where extremely high fault currents are available. Solid state current limiting molded case breakers are also available in ratings of 400-1200 ampere

WL UL489 Insulated Case Circuit
Breakers and WL UL1066 Power

Circuit Breakers

Insulated case circuit breakers, 800-5000 amperes, 600V ac, with solid-state trip devices, offer stored-energy tripping plus optional ground fault protection, selective tripping and a broad range of accessories.

All main protective devices, except Vacu-Break fusible switches, can be equipped with ground fault relays to comply with the National Electrical Code (Section 230.95) ground fault protection requirements

Fusible Switches
Vacu-Break Switches (VBS), 400-1200 amperes, and High Contact Pressure (HCP), 400-1200 amperes, 600V ac, provide protection, coordination with branch protective fusible switches, and application flexibility in systems where high available fault currents are encountered.

Bolted Pressure Switches
Bolted Pressure Switches (BPS), 800-6000 amperes, 480V ac, combine econ omy with extremely high interrupting capacity in conjunction with Class L fuses. Options include shunt trip, ground fault relaying, and a wide range of other accessories.

Distribution Sections For
Expanded Wiring Room And
Exceptional Accessibility Generous top and bottom gutters have been created by locating through-bus in the rear center of the distribution section. In cable entrance sections, no obstructions are less than 8 inches above the floor, and no live bus bars are located less than 10 inches off the floor. So there is plenty of room to run cables into the distribution section to make connections. Standard bolted gutter covers give complete access to load conductors.

Hinged gutter covers can be furnished where quick access to load connectors is desired.

Heavy channels form a rigid ring at the base and top of each section, and heavy gauge structural members are used for the vertical corner posts so there is no encroachment of additional bracing into the top and bottom gutter areas.

To provide additional room for top load cable routing where needed, pull box extensions are available in heights of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 inches to mount on top of any standard distribution section.

Top plates on all sections are easily removed in the field for drilling, punching, and cutting conduit entry holes.

Distribution Sections Designed With The Future In Mind
Because all distribution sections can accommodate any combination of panel- mounted branch devices, including molded case circuit breakers, Vacu-Break fusible switches, HCP fusible switches and motor starters, future system modifications are easier to handle without adding switchboard sections.

To make additional distribution sections easier to install when they are necessary, the through-bus in each distribution section is extended, and the end is predrilled to accept splice plate bolts. To add a section to an existing switchboard, set the new section flush against the side of the existing distribution section, secure frames and bolt together the bus bar splice plates.

Operating Temperature in Accordance With UL Standard 891 All distribution sections contain louvers at both the top and bottom to assure cool operation.

Motor Starter Switchboards Combine
Power Distribution And Motor Control
Siemens switchboards offer a complete line of group-mounted starters that provide a compact and convenient method of combining power distribution and control circuits in one location

Motor starter units are available with fully bussed circuit breaker or fusible Vacu-Break units, factory-wired on the load side to full voltage, non- reversing starters to reduce installation time.

Distribution Sections Take
Any Type Of Protective Device
Distribution sections of switchboards can accept any combination of molded case circuit breakers and fusible switches. If the system calls for a mixture of these devices, there is the option of grouping the devices in logical patterns within a single section. A separate section is not needed for each type of device. And because all types of devices can be put in a single section, the total number of sections required in the system can be reduced.

Future modifications are easier, too.
Devices can be added or changed as the system grows and changes. If a motor starter has to be added after the installation, an entire switchboard section need not be provided to house it. It can be installed in any distribution section with available unit space.

Modular, Bolted-Frame
Construction Saves Labor Modular construction of all service and distribution sections allows the switchboard to be designed into the building. Switchboards can even be designed to be continued around corners or mounted back to end or to ensure the switchboard fits in the electrical room. Rigid, bolted frames can be shipped individually and moved into the building in sections that are easy to maneuver without special equipment, then quickly assembled in place with minimal labor.

Even the front, back and side covers are light, easy-to-handle, formed steel pieces that fit flush to the cabinet sides. No heavy, unwieldy flat plate must be removed to gain interior access. Bus Location Permits Quick and Easy

Installation and Maintenance
All through-bus to adjoining sections are located in the rear center of distribution section. This design provides large, unobstructed wiring gutters at the top and bottom of each section. Wiring takes less time, costs less to install, and is easier to service.

More Labor Saving Design Features

Switchboards Suit A Wide Range Of Applications Siemens switchboards will accommodate systems up to 6000 amperes, 600V AC maximum in all system configurations.

Distribution system vertical bus can be specified for 400-3000 ampere ratings, and branch circuit provisions allow intermixing any combination of:

– 15-1200 ampere molded case circuit breakers
30-600 ampere Vacu-Break fusible switches for branch protection
400-1200 ampere HCP fusible switches
Sizes 0 to 4 motor starters

All components can be built into standard Type 1 indoor enclosures, or into optional Type 3R outdoor construction. Bus Bars Carefully Designed to Complement Switchboard Function

Bus bars are available in standard tin-finished aluminum or optional silver-finished copper. Standard bus is sized on the basis of heat rise criteria, in accordance with the UL 891. All bus bars are sized to limit heat rise to 65ºC above an ambient temperature of 40ºC.

As an option, conductor material can be sized according to density limits, based on bus material. The applicable limits are: Copper – 1000 amperes/sq. in. Aluminum – 750 amperes/sq. in.

Tapered-capacity through-bus is standard in all switchboards in accordance with NEMA PB2 and UL891 standards. In compliance with these standards, at each distribution section, the through bus capacity is reduced as load is taken off. The through-bus is tapered to a minimum of one-third the ampacity of the incoming service mains.

Splice Plates Are Accessible From
The Front
All splice plates can be accessed, bolted and unbolted from the front of the switchboard to make connections of adjacent sections easy. Each splice plate is attached with a 1/2 inch bolt and a 2-inch or 3-inch belville washer on each end. This reduces installation time while increasing contact pressure at the joint.

To make installation and servicing of the splice plates easier, all phase and neutral through-busses are stacked one above the other.

Splice Plates

Cable Terminal

Cable Terminal

Disconnect Links Included In Service
Entrance Equipment In switchboard service sections to be used as service equipment on 1 phase 3 wire and 3 phase 4 wire systems, provisions must be included to isolate the neutral bus from the grounded service neutral. This removable link gives you the ability to check branch neutral continuity on the load side of the main disconnect.

To maintain a service ground to the switchboard frame while the link is removed, a bonding strap is connected from the switchboard frame to the neutral bus on the line of the removable link.

UL and “SUSE” (suitable for use as service entrance equipment) labels will be furnished on service sections specified for service entrance.

Two Types Of Cable Terminals
Are Available
Screw mechanical connectors (lugs) are provided as standard equipment on all devices. However, compression connectors are available as an option on all main lugs, main bolted pressure switches, main power circuit breakers, and main insulated case circuit breakers.

Testing

Provides Production Checks And Design Verification

Testing conducted includes both production testing of switchboard sections for compliance with UL requirements, design verification tests, and quality control testing.

Production Test Check
Structural Integrity Production tests are performed on all switchboard sections in accordance with UL procedures. A test voltage equal to twice the rated voltage plus 1000 volts (Vt = 2Vr +1000) is applied for one minute to each switchboard section to check the integrity of the conductor and insulator materials, and the switchboard assembly. These tests are performed routinely to verify proper equipment fabrication and assembly. Design Verification And Development Tests Proved A Variety Of Data

For more sophisticated design verification and developmental testing, a separate laboratory is used. This test lab is fully instrumented for advanced, multi-phase electrical test work over a wide range of system conditions.

Among the tasks performed is the determination of heat rise at bus duct connections, and at protective device terminations on both the line and load side.

All heat rise tests are conducted in strict accordance with applicable UL standards. Heat rise data from the tests are carefully compared to UL allowable heat rise levels.

Another important program conducted in the laboratory is the systematic verification of short circuit withstand capabilities for all switchboard conductor materials. Switchboard bus has been thoroughly tested and is UL Short Circuit Withstand Rated (UL File #E22578). Switchboard sections with design conforming to test specifications will carry a label noting the Short Circuit Current Withstand rating applicable to that section.

Switchboards

Standard Current Transformer Compartments

Standard Utility Metering Compartments
Service entrance switchboards often require that a utility current transformer compartment be included. The National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) has created a section covering utility current transformer compartments for inclusion in PB-2, the existing standard for switchboards.

Siemens current transformer compartments have been designed to conform to this standard. All specific utility requirements take precedence but in the absence of any special requirements, the standard will be used.

Hot sequence metering has the current transformer compartment on line side of main device and cold sequence metering has the current transformer compartment on load side.

PB-2 5.06 Utility Transformer Compartment
Switchboard assemblies containing current transformer compartments for utility metering shall be arranged as shown in Figures 1 through 4. All indicated dimensions are minimum except the mounting for the current transformer. Mounting shall be for either bar or window type transformers.

The front of the compartment shall be accessible through a sealable hinged, single or double door or removable cover.

Barriers shall be installed as required to prevent access through other than sealable doors or covers.

EUSERC Member Utilities
For all cases where incoming service is from below, underground pull sections are required.

For EUSERC member utilities, underground pull sections require non-bussed sections for 400 ampere, lug landings for 600 and 800 ampere and bussed pull sections above 800 ampere.

Non-Standard SB3 Utilities
For utilities that are non-Standard and are not EUSERC member, non bussed or bussed pull sections are required in order to meet the local utility and code requirements. Any non-standard utility is a type SB3 switchboard.

Motor Starter Applications

Application Note: 1
ETI instantaneous-trip circuit breakers are recommended for use in combination motor starters to provide selective short circuit protection for the motor branch circuit. The adjustable instantaneous-trip feature provides for a trip setting slightly above the peak motor inrush current.

With this setting, no delay is introduced in opening the circuit when the fault occurs. Since these circuit breakers have no time-delay trip element, they must be used in conjunction with, and immedi ately ahead of, the motorrunning over-current protective device.

Check the voltage and interrupting rating of the circuit breaker to assure that they are adequate for the electrical system. ETI circuit breakers are UL recognized components and must be used if the switchboard section is also to be UL Listed.

Unit Substation Secondary Transformer Connections’

Siemens Switchboard Unit Substations
Siemens offers a wide variety of unit substation designs to meet virtually any customer requirement. A unit substation consists of one or more transformers mechanically and electrically connected to, and coordinated with, one or more switchboard assemblies. A secondary unit substation is defined as a unit substation whose outgoing section is rated below 1,000 volts.

The key benefit of a secondary unit substation is that it economically brings power as close as possible to the loads, minimizing power loss and maximizing voltage regulation. Every component or assembly utilized in secondary unit substations is engineered to be an integral part of a complete system.

A typical unit substation consists of three sections:

Primary: depending upon the specific application, this section accepts medium-voltage (2,400V to 27,600V) incoming power
Transformer: reduces incoming voltage to utilization voltage (600V or less)
Secondary switchboard: distributes power to, and provides protection for, outgoing feeders (600V and less)

A secondary unit substation helps you:

Reduce power losses
Enhance voltage regulation
Improve service continuity
Increase functional flexibility
Lower installation costs
Minimize space utilization

Siemens Switchboard Secondary
Siemens unit substation secondary switchboards can be provided with all standard switchboard features. In addition to the standard features, flexible connectors are used to make a close coupled connection between the switchboard secondary and the medium voltage transformer.

The flexible connectors feed the through bus of the switchboard, a secondary main disconnect and several feeder devices that are used for distributing and monitoring the power.

Unit substations are commonly doubleended, being connected to two separate utilities for redundant power. With a double-ended switchboard in a main-main or main-tie-main scheme, autothrowover can be used to automatically transfer between the two utilities.

General Application Data

In the application of fusible switches and
circuit breakers, consideration should be
given to the following factors:

Circuit voltage
Circuit ampacity
Power source frequency
Operation conditions
Available fault current

Circuit Voltage
The system voltage should not exceed the listed voltage rating of the circuit breaker, fuse or switch.

Circuit Ampacity
The listed continuous current rating of the fuse or circuit breaker should not exceed the allowable ampacity of the conductors. Where the allowable ampacity of the conductors does not correspond to listed current ratings for fuses or circuit breakers, the next larger is permitted, providing it does not exceed the conductor ampacity by more than 25% (800A max —NEC 240.6). An exception to this ruleis permitted for motor circuits where high inrush currents may persist for a short time.

Power Source Frequency
Circuit breakers and fusible switches are calibrated for use on direct current or 60 Hertz alternating current. For frequencies above 60 Hertz, some fuses, switches and circuit breakers must be derated. The derating varies with each type and size of protective device. The protective devices used for frequencies above 60 Hertz are not UL listed. Consult your nearest Siemens sales office for specific information.

Operating Conditions
Molded case circuit breakers and fuses are calibrated, without an enclosure as specified by the Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. Per NEC 384, continuous leads should not exceed 80% of the breaker or fuse current rating for most breakers and most types of enclosures.

Conductors should be derated in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Table 310.15 for both ambient temperature and continuous loading. Correction factors to be applied to the allowable current-carrying capacities of conductors for application in temperatures above 30ºC. Conductors which are loaded continuously should be derated to 80% of their allowable current- carrying capacity.

When the type of load is unusual, intermittent, or one which involved momentary peak currents such as motor loads, consideration should be given to the heating effect on the protective device and conductor over a period of time. The duty cycle of a motor which is started and stopped frequently may require a circuit breaker or fuses and conductor with a higher rating than an infrequently started motor.

Fault Current Available
The interrupting capacity of the circuit breaker or fused switch should be at least equal to the available short circuit current at the point of application. The short circuit current from some power sources, such as engine driven generators, is limited, and the prospective characteristics should be selected to clear such faults without delay.

Some systems require a study of protective device characteristics to assure proper protection and coordination for any possible value of fault current. Your nearest Siemens representative is available to assist in making coordination studies.

The data shown in the table on the next page is precalculated and based only on the power transformer impedance in percent and maximum short circuit kVA available from primary system. The data is of approximate values of maximum fault current available on secondary of transformer.

Metering

Utility Metering
Requirements for power company metering and instrument transformer requirements vary with serving utility. Typically, utility company current transformers require a 30 inch (762 mm) high compartment. Switchboard sections that contain utility metering must meet the utility metering compartment specifications.

Customer Metering
A full complement of switchboard instruments with appropriate current transformers, potential transformers and selector switches are available in all

Siemens switchboards.
The meters and instrument switches are mounted on hinged panels with potential transformers and fuses mounted on an instrument pan located behind the door. Current transformers are mounted on the main bus or, at the load terminals of the branch device and do not require additional unit space.

Power Meters
Siemens ACCESS metering solutions offer a complete selection of components and software that can be applied in switchboards. Both the PAC series and 9000 series power meters can be integrated into a switchboard. Power meters are supplied in auxiliary compartments and can be placed in switchboard pull sections, main service sections and distribution sections. In addition to power meters, ACCESS can integrate communications from the VL solid state circuit breakers, WL insulated case circuit breakers and various motor control protective devices.

Siemens ACCESS WinPM.Net Device Importer provides seamless integrated

communication with other manufacturers’ products, provided they have a MODBUS /RTU or MODBUS/TCP port available. Importer compatible products include

Interrupting Capacity Ratings

Of Disconnect Devices

Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Thermal Magnetic Trip Units Molded case thermal magnetic circuit breakers are available 15-2000 amperes with interruption ratings up to 200,00 AIC. Interruption ratings are typically tested qt 240V, 480V or 600V. These breakers come with a wide array of accessories, including: shunt trip, motor operator, auxiliary switches, alarm switches as well as several others.

Solid State Trip Units
Solid state molded case circuit breakers are available in frame sizes from 150- 1600 amperes and up to 600V AC. Each of these breakers has solid-state circuitry which assures minimal damage through the quick interruption control of fault currents. They allow for finite adjustment of short-time delay and ground fault and feature zone selective interlocking as well as MODBUS and PROFIBUS communication.

Current-Limiting
These breakers incorporate the exclusive Siemens blow-apart interruption principle and meet the NEC requirements for current-limiting breakers. Current-limiting circuit breakers can limit the let-through I2t to a value less than the I2t of one-half cycle wave of the symmetrical prospective current without any fusible elements when operating within their currentlimiting range.

Ground Fault Protection

NEC Section 230.95 requires ground fault protection on all service disconnects rated 1000 amperes and larger in 600 volt class switchboards when fed by a solidly grounded Wye system of more than 150 volts to ground. Ground fault protection is required on 480 and 600 volt, 3-phase 3-wire, (i.e., no neutral bus), when the serving transformer is Wye connected.

There is an exception to this rule: Ground fault protection is not required on fire pumps or continuous industrial loads where a non-orderly shutdown would cause a hazard.

Health care facilities, such as hospitals require additional levels of ground fault protection. These requirements are described in NEC article 517.

Sections 215.10 and 240.13 of the NEC require ground fault protection on all 1000 ampere and larger devices, breakers, and switches, applied in a system as described above, unless there is ground fault protection upstream.

Many utilities use a grounded Wye secondary transformer and bring a connection from the grounded mid-point to the service section ground bar. When this is the case, ground fault protection is required.

For a 1000 ampere or larger 480 volt, 3-phase 3-wire service section, an inquiry should be made to determine if the utility is using a 3-wire delta secondary transformer. Should this be the case, no ground fault protection is required

Ground Fault Testing
Ground Fault Relay
Warning : The following should be performed only by qualified personnel as defined in N.E.C. Article 100. The ground fault sensor (GFS), ground fault relay (GFR), must be installed as in Fig.1.

See front connected switchboard installation manual in brochure’s section of the website for additional information (www.usa.siemens.com/switchboards).
Ground Fault Testing

Disconnect Main Power Source.
Remove the neutral disconnect link. Make sure the neutral is grounded only by the main bonding jumper, which must be on the line side of the sensor.
Close all branch devices.
Using a “megger” type meter, measure the resistance of the load phase and neutral to ground. This is to ensure that no ground connections exist in the system. Resistance readings of (1) Megohm or greater are preferred.
Re-install the neutral disconnect link.
Open all branch devices.
Connect the main power source.
To Test The Entire System.
a. Check for control power. (LED should be illuminated).
b. Press the “push to test” switch on the relay.
c. The trip indicator should go to the “tripped” position and the disconnect device should operate.
d. Release the “push to test” switch and return the trip indicator to the “reset” position.
e. Reset or “close” the disconnect device for normal operation of the switchboard.
This test meets the requirements of the National Electrical Code Section 230.95 (C).

Ground Fault Testing

Some Things To Consider

When Applying Switchboards
The electrical system is bound to have unique requirements that affect the design of the switchboard and the selection of the protective devices that go into it. However, some design aspects are common to all systems, and can be considered in more general terms.

Ampacity Should Anticipate Future
Load Requirements
In addition to meeting the demands of pre-set loads, the switchboard should be sized to accommodate reasonable future load additions without major modifications.
Expansion can usually be built into the switchboard easily. The main protective device frame size or continuous current rating, and the switchboard through-bus can be sized on the basis of anticipated future load demand. Trip units or fuses of lower ratings can be installed to meet preset load conditions and simply changed in the future as load increases, up to the maximum switchboard ratings.

Most protective devices are designed to operate continuously at 80% of their rating when installed in a switchboard. Bolted pressure switches, power circuit breakers, and some molded case breakers have been designed for operation at 100% of their current rating when housed in an adequately ventilated enclosure. However, since most protective devices are tested in a 40°C (104°F) ambient, derating may be necessary if the operating conditions normally exceed this temperature.

Selective Tripping
The switchboard and its protective devices must be capable of withstanding and interrupting the short circuit fault current that the electrical system can deliver to the switchboard’s location in the system.

In a fully rated system, both the main and branch feeder protective devices must have adequate interrupting capacity for the available fault current, and the switchboard bus should be braced for the same maximum fault current. Without selective tripping coordination between the main and branch protective devices, both the main and branch device may trip under fault conditions.

The NEC permits the application of series rated devices in switchboards. Series rated devices are those which have been series tested to prove that a higher rated upstream device will protect a lower rated downstream device. In the selective system though, the main and branch devices are selected so that under fault condition, the branch device normally clears the fault while the main remains closed. Only in unusual events, such as a fault of the main switchboard bus or a failure of the branch device to operate, would the main device trip. Service continuity is maximized by the selective trip design.

Circuit Breaker Selectivity
Selectivity between main and branch circuit breakers can be achieved up to the instantaneous trip setting by building a short-time delay into the main breaker trip characteristics, or properly choosing and setting instantaneous trip characteristics to allow the branch breaker’s instantaneous trip to clear the fault first. The short-time delay features are available on solid-state molded case circuit breakers, such as WL Insulated Case Breakers. With these breakers, a solid-state main breaker, and standard thermal-magnetic branch breakers can be combined to achieve an economical selective system.

Service Continuity Can Also Be Affected By Ground Fault Protection Design Ground fault protection is required by the National Electrical Code, Section 230.95 for solidly grounded Wye electrical services of more than 150 volts to ground, but not exceeding 600 volts phase-to-phase on each service disconnecting device rated 1000 amps or more, to provide protection against low magnitude arcing ground faults. While the National Electrical Code stipulates only that ground fault protection be provided on the main disconnect device, the switchboard designer should consider service continuity when applying ground fault protection. Ground fault protection can be achieved using ground fault relays, or integral ground fault in solid-state trip circuit breakers. Ground fault protection normally used on main disconnect devices have a pickup trip from 200 to 1200 amperes, and operating times from six to thirty cycles.

For services in which continuity of service is critical, ground fault protection is recommended on both the main and branch feeder devices. For hospitals, the National Electric Code, Section 517.17 requires this ground fault relaying on both the main and feeder circuits. A time coordinated scheme between the mainand branch devices will provide selective coordination to maintain continuity of servic

Enclosure Types
Type 1 enclosures are available for indoor applications and Type 3R for outdoor and wet locations. NEC Section 110.26(F) requires switchboards to be located in dedicated rooms and spaces. Sections 408.7 and 408.8 require placement to reduce to a minimum the probability of communicating fire to adjacent combustible materials including the floor. Section 110.26 defines specific working clearances and exit doors to the switchboard area.

Factory Testing
Prior to shipment each switchboard is tested to UL 891, the dead front switchboard standard. A dielectric test is conducted at two times the switchboard voltage rating plus 1000 volts. External device ground fault systems are tested at 57% control voltage to ensure operation under severe ground faults.

Note: NEC Section 230.95 requires the ground fault system to also be field tested by the installer and a permanent record kept of this test using the field test instructions provided with the switchboard.

Phase Arrangement
When viewed from the front bus phasing per NEC Section, 408.3, is A-B-C from front to back, top to bottom, and left to right. There is no industry standard on the location of the neutral.

On a 4-wire delta system, the B phase has the higher voltage to ground except the C phase may have the higher voltage to ground when metering equipment is present. The bussing that has the higher voltage to ground will be marked with orange colored labels.

Overcurrent Devices Continuous Rating Overcurrent devices are available with 80 and 100% continuous load ratings. The NEC defines a continuous load as maximum current for 3 hours or more

Molded Case Circuit Breakers	Yes	Yes
Fusible Switches VB & HCP	Yes	N/A
Bolted Pressure Switches	N/A	Yes
WL Insulated Case CircuitBreakers	N/A	Yes

Maintenance and Installation
Each switchboard is provided with maintenance and installation instructions at the time of shipment. Energized switchboards are hazardous when all enclosure covers are not in place. To reduce the risk of injury follow the instructions and switchboard instructional labels. NEC Section 110.3(B) requires these instructions be followed.
