Ordering Information

NOTE: Arc-rated MCCs must only be expanded or added onto with arc-rated units/sections to maintain the arc containment ratings. Arc-rated units and sections have special labels identifying them as AR (arc-rated), typically in the locations shown in Figure Typical Arc-Rated Label Locations on Sections and Units. Customer must provide the previous arc-rated MCC factory order number when ordering additional arcrated MCC equipment from the factory.

NOTE: Prepared spaces or unused spaces in arc-rated MCCs must be filled with arc-rated empty units. Arc-rated empty units can be ordered for use when rearranging units in an arc-rated MCC.

Typical Arc-Rated Label Locations on Sections and Units

When ordering additional MCC equipment, include the following information:

Type of equipment being supplied
Supply voltage, frequency, system type
Enclosure type
Enclosure finish
Control circuit voltage and frequency
Optional control circuit components required (control transformers, push buttons, pilot lights, selector switches, etc.)
Special features
The factory order number of the original MCC (the number is stamped into the structure nameplate on the vertical wireway door; the unit label inside each control unit also contains the factory order number)

When ordering new vertical sections, also provide the following information:

Horizontal and vertical bus capacity, material, and plating
Bus bracing (or available fault current)
Enclosure type and dimensions
