EQUIPMENT
INSTAIIATION
PRIOR
TO
INSTAII.ATION
Before
any installation work
is
performed,
study all
drawings furnished
by
G.E.
Co.
for
the
particular
installa-
tion.
These
include
arrangement
drawings
(front
and plan
view),
connection
and
elementary diagrams,
installation
drawings
and
a
summary of the
equipment. When request-
ing
information
from the factory on any
specific item
furnished
with
the
equipment, refer
to
the item
by
sum-
mary and identification number
wherever possible,
Any
material external
to
the
equipment
which may
be
required
to
meet
local
codes
(such as mats,
screens,
railings,
etc.)
is not
furnished.
LOCATION
In
locating
AKD-6
switchgear,
provide
adequate
aisle
space
at
the
front
and rear
of the
equipment, The
recom-
mended
aisle
space
is
shown
on the floor plan
drawing,
and
is in
accordance
with
N.E.C.
Article
110.
Local
codes
should
be
checked
for any
special
aisle
requirements.
The equipment should
be placed
in
an
area where
clean
air is
free
to
circulate around and
above
it.
Since
air
is
taken
into
the
units at
the
bottom
and
is
exhausted
at
the
top,
a
location
with
good
air
flow
will
provide more
effi-
cient
operation.
FOUNDATION
REQUIREMENTS
Indoor
Equipment-Suitable
means
must
be
provided by
the
purchaser
for
mounting and
anchoring
the
switchgear
to
the
floor.
CAUTION:
IF
THE
FOUNDATIO]V
IS
SUA-
]
ECT TO
V
I
B
RATIONS, SPECIAL MOU NTI
NG
MUST
BE
PROVIDED
TO
PREVENT THE
TRANSMITTAL
OF
VIBRATIONS
TO
THE
ESUIPMENT.
Although the equipment
is
furnished
with built-in
chan-
nels so
that
it
can be
mounted
directly
on
a
smooth,
level
floor,
it
is
recommended
that
recessed
steel channels
be
installed
by the
purchaser
for
supporting
the
equipment.
The floor
channels
under
the front and rear
switchgear
channels
should
be
embedded
in
a level
concrete
slab
with
their
top
surfaces
flush
with the
finished
floor.
It is
es-
sential
that
these steel channels
be level and aligned
with
each
other
prior to final
anchoring,
and
that the
center
switchgear channel
be
supported
by
the
finish floor to avoid
distortion
of
the
switchgear
structure,
If
the
gear
is
raised
above
the
floor
level
by
the mounting
channels,
the
center
switchgear channel
must
be supported
at
the
same level.
If
other
equipment
is
installed
in
the
same
lineup, all
channels
must
be
level
and aligned
with
each
other.
