Motor control centers provide the most suitable method for grouping

electrical motor control and other related devices in a compact, economical,

freestanding installation. Motor control centers (MCCs) are made of:

Totally enclosed, dead front, freestanding structures bolted together

Modular control units housed and supported by the structures

A common bus bar for distributing power to the control units

A network of wire trough and conductor entrance areas that

accommodate outgoing load and control wires

Figure 1: The Model 6 Export Motor Control Center

Control units contain components such as combination motor starters,

branch feeder devices, and lighting panelboards. Each of these components

is mounted in an individual, isolated compartment that has its own cover.

The standard MCC width is 20 in. (508 mm) with a 4 in. (102 mm) wide

vertical wireway. The standard height of all MCC structures is 91.5 in.

(2324 mm) without the 3 in. (76 mm) lifting angle. All units are mounted on

the front side of the MCC. In this arrangement, an MCC section is 15 in.

(381 mm) or 20 in. (508 mm) deep.

An optional 25 in. (635 mm) wide section with a 9 in. (229 mm) wide wireway

is also available. Larger sections are available for mounting larger equipment.

MCCs are constructed in shipping blocks of up to three vertical sections. This

allows for ease of handling during transportation and installation. At the job

site, the main horizontal bus of all shipping blocks are spliced together using

captive horizontal splice bars.

Before they are shipped from the factory, MCCs are visually, electrically, and

mechanically inspected by professional quality control analysts. Certification

of quality control testing is available upon request.

After leaving quality control, each shipping block is carefully packaged and

attached to a skid (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Packaged Export Motor Control Center

Inspect the MCC for damage upon receipt. Delivery of the equipment to a

carrier at any of the Square D plants or other shipping point constitutes

delivery to the purchaser. Title and all risk of loss or damage in transit shall

pass to the purchaser at that time, regardless of freight payment. The

purchaser must make all claims for loss and damage to the carrier.

If the packaging material is removed, replace it for protection until the MCC

is installed.

Adequate equipment—such as a fork truck, crane, or rods and pipe rollers—

must be available for handling MCCs. Table 1 shows approximate shipping

weights of single sections equipped with typical units. Use this table to

determine the type of handling equipment you will need.

As shown in Table 1, weights vary by enclosure type and depth. To minimize

the risk of injury and equipment damage while moving the MCC, follow these

guidelines:

• Use caution when moving heavy equipment.

• Verify that the equipment used to move the MCC is rated to handle its

weight.

• Fork trucks, when available, provide a convenient method of moving

MCCs (see Figure 3). When removing the MCC from a shipping pallet,

carefully balance and secure it using a safety strap.

• Each shipping block has lifting angles for handling the MCC with overhead

cranes. Take the following precautions when using a crane:

a. Handle MCCs in the upright position only.

b. Select rigging lengths that will compensate for any unequal weight

distribution.

c. Do not exceed the 45° maximum angle between the vertical and lifting

cables (see Figure 4).

d. Only use slings that have safety hooks or shackles. Do not pass ropes

or cables through the holes in the lifting angle.

Figure 4: Proper Use of a Sling to Lift the MCC

After the shipping section is in place, its lifting angle may be removed and

discarded. To prevent foreign materials from entering the shipping section,

replace all hardware that secured the lifting angle.

NOTE: Do not attempt to lift or attach lifting means to sections equipped with

pull boxes.

If the MCC cannot be placed into service upon receipt, store it in a clean, dry,

ventilated building that is free from temperature extremes. Acceptable

storage temperatures range from 0 °C (32 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F).

If the storage area is cool and/or damp, provide enough heat to prevent

condensation inside the MCC. Contact your local Square D field office for

specific requirements.

This section explains how to locate, install, and join Model 6 MCC

enclosures, and how to splice power and ground bus. For information related

to removing and installing existing and new units, see “Section 8—Expanding

the MCC” on page 45 or the information included with the shipment of the

new MCC equipment.

MCCs are designed for use in non-hazardous locations. Before installing the

MCC, choose a well-ventilated location that is free from excess humidity,

dust, and dirt. The temperature of the area should be no less than 0 °C

(32 °F) and no greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Protect the enclosure from water

and moisture.

Install MCCs in an area with a minimum of 3 ft. (914 mm) of space in front of

front-of-board construction. This free space provides adequate room to

remove and install units. (More space may be required for some applications;

refer to applicable national standards.) Provide at least 0.5 in. (13 mm) of

space between the back of front-of-board MCCs and a wall. For damp

locations, provide at least 6 in. (152 mm).

When selecting a location to install an MCC, carefully consider accessibility,

overhead clearances, and future expansions. Considering these factors will

eliminate many difficulties during this and future MCC installations.

MCCs are assembled in the factory on a smooth, level surface to verify that

all sections are properly aligned. Provide a similar smooth, level surface to

install the MCC. An uneven foundation may cause shipping blocks, units, and

doors to become misaligned. Unless bottom plates are installed in each

vertical section, the surface under an MCC must be made of a

non-combustible material.

Before positioning the MCC sections, check for damaged bus bars and

insulators. If the bus is bent or insulators are broken, do not install the MCC.

Report any damage to the carrier.

NOTE: A joining hardware kit is provided in the top horizontal wireway cover

on the right side of each shipping split. Captive splice bars are

pre-assembled on the horizontal bus on the left side of each shipping split.

NOTE: For gasket installation instructions, see “Installing Splice Gaskets in

IP 52 Enclosures” on page 17 before joining sections.

To mount and splice a new MCC section to an existing Model 6 section, or to

join two or more new shipping splits, follow these steps:

1. Remove the horizontal wireway covers in all sections, providing access to

the ground bus and section front splicing bolts (see Figure 5).

2. To gain access to the section’s rear splicing bolts, slide the panels of the

the two-piece bus barriers (see Figure 5) in the sections adjacent to a

splice connection (the left and right sections).

NOTE: Follow the instructions in the “Appendix” on page 65 to remove

the two-piece bus barriers.

3. Make provisions for fastening the structure(s) to the floor. See page 16 for

fastener locations.

4. Supporting the MCC by its base channels and/or lifting angles, lift it into

place. Align the front edges of the base channels to form a continuous

front.

5. Using the notches in the base channels, gradually move the sections into

alignment with a crowbar (see Figure 5).

NOTE: Use caution when moving MCC sections, as they are top-heavy.

See “Handling the MCC” on page 11 before moving the MCC.

1. Open the wireway door on the left section. Remove the section joining

hardware kit that is bagged and tied to the right front corner channel.

2. Locate the six rectangular notches on the inside surface of the corner

channels (see Figure 6).

NOTE: Special sections have plastic covers that must be removed to gain

access to the front clearance holes. For purposes of this instruction bulletin,

a special section is an MCC section that does not have vertical bus.

3. Using six of the 3/4 in. (19 mm) x 1/4–20 hex head thread forming screws

supplied in the hardware kit, join the front vertical corner channels. To do

so, insert the screws through the clearance holes located within the

rectangular notches and into the mating thread-forming hole. Insert the

screws from either the left or right, depending on how easy it is to access

the holes based on the configuration of the MCC. Either side will join

properly.

NOTE: Replace the plastic covers over the notches after completing step

3. It is important for the plastic covers to be replaced in order to maintain

separation barriers according to IEC 439 Form 4a.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect the rear corner channels.

Fasten each section to the floor (see Figure 7) using 3/4 in. (19 mm) or 1/2

in. (13 mm) grade 5 or higher bolts and flat washers (not included in the

hardware kit). The two 0.88 in. (22 mm) diameter base channel mounting

holes provide clearance for bolt expansion anchors for 1/2 in. (13 mm) bolts.

NOTE: Although the sections are freestanding, floor fastening prevents

movement, thereby preventing conduit connection damage.
