Introduction
This manual contains instructions for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of Power-Style QED-2 switchboard equipment manufactured by Schneider Electric. Engineering, installation, and operating staff supervisors should familiarize themselves with this manual and become acquainted with the appearance and characteristics of each piece of equipment mounted or contained in the switchboard.
These instructions and procedures apply to Power-Style QED-2 switchboard installations by Schneider Electric. When special features or non-standard components are incorporated in the switchboard, detailed instructions for these components are included in the instruction material holder.
-
Series 2: There are references to Series 2 switchboards in several places in this instruction bulletin. To determine if the QED-2 switchboard is a Series 2 model, check the rating nameplate located on the front cover. If the switchboard is a Series 2 model, the nameplate indicates that. If it is not a Series 2 model, there is no Series designation.

QED-2 with Vented Roofs: Some QED-2 designs are roof vented, with an option for roof hoods in lieu of drip pans. If roof hoods are selected, they are shipped separately and are installed on top of the vented roof using four (4) self-threading, 0.25 in. (6 mm) fasteners (included). They require 6 in. (152 mm) of additional height clearance. See Typical QED-2 Roof Hood Construction for typical roof hood construction.

Inspection and Packaging
Every Power-Style QED-2 switchboard is carefully inspected and packaged at the assembly plant. Construction of the switchboard is checked, both structurally and electrically, for compliance with all specifications, codes, and standards. After a complete inspection, the switchboard is prepared for shipment. Each section is shipped separately for easier handling before installation. The factory order number, an identification number, and the shipping weights are plainly marked on each shipping section.
