Prior to Installing the SPX-CABFIN
When a separate power transfer cabinet is used, a second pad may be constructed, using the template and pad
recommendations provided by the power transfer cabinet manufacturer. If a power transfer cabinet is to be
installed on the main pad, a separate mounting template must be installed with the SPX-CABFIN cabinet
mounting template particular to the housing.
6
Ensure that the area chosen for the pad is firm and level. If soil in the area chosen is not firm, compact the
soil. Construct a level base for the pad, using a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) of sand or gravel.
7
For excavated pad applications, excavate a hole for the pad and cable conduits in accordance with the
engineering work prints, generally to a depth of 30 inches (760 mm) for standard applications, and 60 inches
(1.5 meters) for areas where there is heavy frost.
8
Dig a trench to the area where the cable conduit will rise into the SPX-CABFIN cabinet.
The cable, conduit, ground rod, and ground wire should be placed before the pad is constructed
(cast-in-place); refer to DLP-103.
9
Dig a separate trench for the electrical conduit between the SPX-CABFIN cabinet and the power transfer
cabinet.
10
If a pole-mounted AC source is used, dig a trench for the electrical conduit from the pole to the SPX-CABFIN
cabinet.
Refer to local practices for specific information on grounding.
