Chapter General Information General Description Allen-Bradley CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers (MCCs) consist of one or more vertical sections containing electromagnetic and/or solid state control devices that are prewired and tested within modular (plug-in) or frame mounted (hard-wired) units. CENTERLINE MCCs are designed in standard widths of 20 in. (508 mm), 25 in.
Page 12
Chapter 1 General Information The CENTERLINE MCC is also available with ArcShield. ArcShield includes arc resistant features which are intended to help provide enhanced protection to you during internal arcing faults (when compared to MCCs which are only designed to meet UL 845 requirements).
General Information Chapter 1 Nameplate Data Each MCC section has a nameplate located on the enclosure or vertical wireway door. The nameplate includes: • catalog number/serial number. • series letter of section. • bus bar voltage and current rating. • section number. •...
Chapter 1 General Information MCC Sequence Numbering CENTERLINE MCCs are designed so functionality is not affected by the section installation order, for example, vertical section-numbering sequence order. All MCC sections carry a serial plate, which identifies vertical section sequence numbering. For example, MCC section 1 of 1, 1 of 5, and so Section Nameplate Identifies Vertical Section Sequence Numbering...
Refer to CENTERLINE 2100 Motor Control Center End Closing Plates Installation Instructions, publication 2100-IN069. MCCs that contain contain arc resistant features cannot use a section with integral mounting flanges on the outside of a lineup.
Chapter 1 General Information Short-circuit Rating Label MCC vertical sections that are UL listed and/or CSA/cUL certified will carry a short-circuit rating label. The short-circuit rating label for a vertical section is located on the inside of the vertical wireway door of standard sections or on the interior right-hand side plate of a section that contains a unit that occupies the full section and does not contain a vertical wireway.

In order to obtain a UBC or IBC seismic withstandability, each individual CENTERLINE 2100 MCC lineup (for example, both front and back MCCs in ‘back-to-back applications), must be mounted on an adequate seismic foundation and installed per the seismic anchoring requirements as shown in the following illustrations.
Allen-Bradley>Low Voltage Motor Control Centers>Post Shipment Support for joining and splicing procedures. When the existing MCC is series C or later, refer to CENTERLINE 2100 Motor Control Centers Joining & Splicing Vertical Sections Instructions, publication 2100-IN010.
Type 3R and Type 4 MCCs existing NEMA Type 3R and Type 4 MCCs. Refer to CENTERLINE 2100 Motor Control Centers Joining & Splicing Vertical Sections Instructions, publication 2100-IN010, for splicing Type 3R and Type 4 internal sections.
Chapter 2 Installation Procedures Bus Torque Specifications Tighten all bus splice connections with a torque wrench and socket at intervals established by your maintenance policy. See Chapter 9 suggested maintenance. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten until the conical spring washer is flat. Torque values can be found on the information label on the interior of the vertical wireway door or on the interior right-hand side plate of frame mounted units.
Chapter Installing Conduit and Cable Installing Conduit When installing conduit, make sure it is installed according to local codes - to assure water and moisture cannot enter or accumulate in the MCC enclosure. Conduit must be installed so they are compatible with the NEMA rating of the MCC.
Chapter 3 Installing Conduit and Cable 2. Remove the lifting angle and top plate. 3. Modify the top plate for necessary conduit entries. This method helps guard against metal chips falling into the MCC, which can cause serious damage to the components. 4.
Installing Conduit and Cable Chapter 3 3. Use the MCC electrical schematics to verify field wiring connection points. Incoming Line Compartment Top or bottom entry to the incoming line-section bus is straight through to the connection terminals. The vertical bus provides pads for the incoming lugs.
Page 44
Chapter 3 Installing Conduit and Cable Securing Cables with Glass Tape In this example, glass fiber-reinforced tape or glass filament tape is used. The taping should be continuous from the point the cables enter the MCC to the point the cables are terminated. It is important that cables are wrapped several times for additional strength.
Installing Conduit and Cable Chapter 3 Securing Cables with Hardwood In this example, a hardwood brace (maple hardwood) made for the specific application is used. Holes are bored approximately the size of the cable diameter. Several bolt holes are also bored the breadth of the hardwood brace.

You may need to reposition your hands as necessary to properly support the unit while you are removing the unit from the MCC. For the CENTERLINE 2100 MCC units with arc-resistant door latches, you will need to rotate the arc latch bracket 90 clockwise to avoid interference with the unit.
Page 56
Chapter 4 Installing and Removing Plug-in Units 12. Remove the unit from the MCC. 13. Carefully install protective caps or close the manual shutters after unit is removed. All covers and doors must be in place before applying ATTENTION power to the MCC. If units are removed, they must be replaced with the appropriate items such as units, doors, and unit support pans.
Installing and Removing Plug-in Units Chapter 4 Remove the Support Pan Plastic Retaining Clip 1. Pry the plastic retaining clip from the right-hand unit support by using a screwdriver. This is visible in the vertical wireway. For CENTERLINE MCC units with arc resistant latches, the unit support pan is secured to the right-hand unit support by the screw that retains the arc latch bracket.

See Final Check List Before Energizing for more information. Energizing a MCC for the first time is potentially dangerous.
Page 90
Chapter 8 Energizing the Equipment Disconnecting device handles should be operated with a ATTENTION firm, direct motion and should not be ‘teased’ into the closed (ON/I) position. 6. Energize the main devices followed by the feeder devices and the branch circuit devices. Always energize from the source of the system, working towards the loads.
Chapter Maintenance A periodic maintenance program should be established for MCCs to avoid unnecessary downtime. The frequency of service to MCCs will depend upon the equipment usage and the environment in which it operates. The following is a suggested checklist and can be used to establish a maintenance program.
Page 92
Chapter 9 Maintenance can be found on the information label located on the interior of the vertical wireway door or on the interior right-hand side plate of frame mounted units. The factory-made power bus connections are tightened by a computer-controlled torquing system. The following connections do not require re-torquing, vertical to horizontal bus connections and power conductor to horizontal bus connections.
