General Information
General Description

CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers 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. Line power is distributed throughout the motor control center through an isolated bus work structure. The main horizontal bus is located in the center of the section. The center-fed 300 ampere rated vertical bus supplies power to the individual units above and below the horizontal bus for an effective 600 ampere capacity, allowing virtually unrestricted unit arrangement. The individual units house a wide variety of power and logic devices. Plug-in units are mounted on unit support pans within the section, and stab assemblies on the back of the unit plug onto the vertical bus. Mechanical interlocks prevent unit doors from being opened while units are energized.

Nameplate Data

Each vertical section has a nameplate located on the vertical wireway door. On special width sections, the nameplate is located on the section door. See Figure 1.1. Information on nameplates include: catalog number / serial number series letter of the section maximum bus bar voltage and current rating section location number

Figure 1.1 Section Nameplate

Publication 2100-5.0 - October 1995

General Information

Each individual plug-in and frame mounted unit also has an identification nameplate. The unit nameplate is located on the interior of the bottom plate of plug-in units or on the interior right hand side plate of the frame mounted units. See Figure 1.2. The unit nameplate for each plug-in or frame mounted unit includes: catalog number / serial number series letter of the unit device size all maximum ratings

Figure 1.2 Unit Nameplate

When communicating with Allen-Bradley about a particular motor control center or motor control center unit, the catalog number or serial number and series letter are required to properly identify the equipment.
UL / CSA Marking

CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL), Standard for Safety UL 845 and certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Standard C222, No. 14. Due to standards harmonization, a motor control center may also carry the ULc designation. UL c is comparable to CSA certification. All vertical sections and units listed with UL will carry the UL label. All vertical sections and units certified to CSA standards will carry the CSA or ULc mark. Vertical sections and units are labeled independently. Therefore, it is possible to have combinations of labeled and non-labeled sections and units in the same motor control center. Vertical sections and structure options that are UL listed and CSA/ULc certified are marked accordingly. For a section to carry the UL and/or CSA/UL c designation, all of its components must be UL listed and/or CSA/ULc certified. The UL and/or CSA/ULc designation is an integral part of the section nameplate. See Figure 1.1.

Units and unit options that are UL listed and CSA/ULc certified are marked accordingly. For a unit to carry the UL label and/or CSA/ULc designation, all of its options must be UL listed and/or CSA/ULc certified. The UL designation is located on the interior of the bottom plate of plug-in units or on the interior right-hand side plate of frame mounted units. See Figure 1.3.
Figure 1.3 UL Label and CSA Designation for Units

Short Circuit Rating Label

Motor control center vertical sections that are UL listed and/or CSA/ULc 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 special width sections. See Figure 1.4.

General Information

Receiving, Handling, and Storage

CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers are shipped upright in shipping blocks of one to three front-mounted sections or two to six back-to-back sections as standard. All motor control centers (MCCs) are mechanically and electrically tested before shipment. Each MCC is provided with a lifting device for handling convenience (lifting device is optional on NEMA Type 3R). The motor control center is bolted to the shipping skid and further packaged to protect it during upright shipments. (Refer to Publication 21005.5 for receiving, handling, and storage instructions. This publication is shipped with each MCC, attached to the outside of the MCC within a layer of clear plastic wrap. For additional information, consult NEMA ICS 2.3.) ATTENTION: Motor control centers are top heavy and front heavy. To avoid personal injury or structural damage to the motor control center, never attempt to lift or to move the motor control center by any means other than the methods outlined in Publication 21005.5, Receiving, Handling, and Storing Motor Control Centers.

Installation Procedures
Location Planning

When planning the location for your CENTERLINE Motor Control Center, take the following items into consideration: conduits busways overall height alignment with other equipment future needs

In addition, the area must be level and the environment must be compatible with the NEMA enclosure rating of the equipment.
Mounting Considerations

If the motor control center is equipped with optional external mounting channels or is mounted on a pad, the height to the center of the top handles must be checked for compliance with NEC 3808(a) and UL Standard 845. If handles are higher than 67 (2000mm), then Unit Operating Handle Extender should be added to these handles (catalog number 2100NE1). Anchor bolts (1/2(13mm)) may be pre-located and embedded in the MCC foundation prior to installation. Two bolts per vertical section fasten the motor control center through its internal mounting angle to the foundation (corner sections require three (3) bolts and 40-inch wide sections require four (4) bolts). See Figures 2.1 through 2.6.

Joining & Splicing: New Motor Control Centers

A main horizontal bus splice kit must be installed between shipping blocks of new motor control centers in order to connect the main horizontal bus. In addition, the neutral bus splice kit (if required) and the ground bus splice kit must be installed between shipping blocks. Refer to 21005.1 Joining & Splicing Vertical Sections for joining and splicing 15 (381mm) or 20 (508mm) front-mounted sections and 30 (762mm) and 40 (1016mm) deep back-to-back construction. A main horizontal bus, a neutral bus (if required), and a ground bus splice kit must be installed when adding to existing motor control centers. When adding to existing motor control centers, you must identify the series of the motor control center that you will be adding to. If the existing motor control center is Series A or B, you must consult the factory for joining and splicing procedures. When the existing motor control center is Series C or later, refer to Publication 21005.1, Joining and Splicing Vertical Sections for joining and splicing 15 (381mm) or 20 (508mm) front-mounted sections and 30 (762mm) and 40 (1016mm) deep back-to-back construction. A main horizontal bus, a neutral bus (if required), and a ground bus splice kit must be installed between the internal sections for new and existing NEMA Type 3R motor control centers. Refer to Publication 21005.1, Joining and Splicing Vertical Sections for splicing Type 3R internal sections. Refer to Instruction Sheets:Drawing No. 40110077(shipped with NEMA Type 3R sections) for instructions on joining the NEMA Type 3R external cabinets.

Conduit and Cable Installation

Conduit Installing
When installing conduit, make sure it is installed so that water and moisture can not enter or accumulate in the MCC enclosure. Conduits must be installed so that they are compatible with the NEMA rating of the MCC. The conduit should be placed away from the horizontal ground bus to avoid physical damage. It is recommended that the conduit be positioned so as to minimize cable bending and maintain relative vertical alignment to incoming bus pads and terminals of main fusible disconnects or main circuit breakers.

Bottom Entry Conduit

Prepare the installation site so that the foundation is level. Before the MCC is installed, place and stub up conduit approximately 2 (51mm) above floor level. Make sure that all incoming conduit is clear of the horizontal ground bus. 1. For approximate section base dimensions and ground bus locations, refer to Chapter 2, Installation Procedures, Figures 2.1 through 2.6. 2. For approximate bottom entry locations and wiring schemes for main fusible disconnects, main circuit breakers, and incoming line compartments, refer to Publication 21004.2, Mains and Incoming Lines Dimension Reference.

Top Entry Conduit

After the MCC is in place, is leveled, and the sections are joined and spliced, bring conduit into the top of the incoming section. 1. Remove the lifting angle and top plate. Modify the top plate for the necessary conduit entries. (This method helps guard against metal chips falling into the MCC, which can cause serious damage.) 2. Replace the top plate and lifting angle bolts. (This guards against dust or dirt entering the top horizontal wireway. 3. Make sure that all incoming conduit is clear of the horizontal ground bus. 4. For approximate location of the horizontal ground bus mounted in the top horizontal wireway, refer to Publication 21004.2, Mains and Incoming Lines Dimension Reference.

3-2

Conduit and Cable Installation

5. For space availability for incoming cables, refer to the documentation package shipped with assembled MCCs. This package includes Form 385E, a CAD drawing showing available space. 6. For approximate top entry locations and wiring schemes for main fusible disconnects, main circuit breakers, and incoming line compartments, refer to Publication 21004.2, Mains and Incoming Lines Dimension Reference.
Installing Cable

Install cable when the temperature is above freezing (32F or 0C) (unless cable is suitable for installation at temperatures below freezing). This will help prevent cable insulation from cracking or splitting. Motor control centers are rated for use with 75C cable for current ratings above 100 amperes. Cable must be sized using 75C column in NEC Table 31016. The actual temperature rating of the lugs used is not relevant.

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. The lug selection should be based on the size, number, and type of conductor. 1. Use mechanical screw type lugs when the incoming lines available short circuit current is under 42,000 amperes RMS symmetrical. 2. Use crimp type or compression type lugs when the incoming lines available short circuit current is above 42,000 amperes RMS symmetrical.

Main Fusible Disconnect and Main Circuit Breaker

Top entry is straight through to the line side of the main fusible disconnect and main circuit breaker. However, for bottom entry, the connection scheme varies depending on the rating of the main device. In some cases, the bottom entry goes to the top or line side of the main fusible disconnect or main circuit breaker. In other cases, the bottom entry would go straight through to the bottom of the main fusible disconnect or main circuit breaker. This is referred to as reverse fed.

Mechanical screw type lugs are supplied as standard with all main fusible disconnects or main circuit breakers. Crimp type or compression type lugs are also available.

Cable Bracing
The CENTERLINE MCC bus work system has been tested and is qualified to withstand maximum short circuit forces exceeding the short circuit withstand ratings for the MCC. Incoming line cables and outgoing feeder cables also need to be supported to withstand the same short circuit forces. There are many sizes and types of cables, as well as different means by which the cables can be supported. Acceptable methods are shown below in Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. In Figure 3.1, 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. Cable slack should be drawn up during wrapping so that individual cables are supported together by the tape as a single mass.

Conduit and Cable Installation

Cable Bracing continued

In Figure3.2, cables are lashed in a figure 8-type configuration using nylon rope. The rope lashing should be continuous from the point the cables enter the MCC to the point the cables are terminated. Other types of rope lashing may be acceptable. However, cable slack should be drawn up during wrapping so that individual cables are supported together by the rope as a single mass.
Figure 3.2 Securing Cables with Nylon Rope

In Figure 3.3, 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. The brace is cut in two pieces and is used as a clamp to secure the cables.

Cable Bracing continued

The through bolts are inserted into the brace and tightened so that the cables are held tightly in place. A second form of hardwood brace (not shown) is a yolk type in which the cables are passed through. Holes should be small enough to provide a snug fit for the cables. The connectors or lugs are attached to the cables and cables are bolted to the terminals. When using the hardwood bracing method, the cables should be braced every 12 (305mm) when the incoming lines available short circuit current is below 42,000 amperes RMS and every 6 (153mm) when the incoming lines available short circuit current is 42,000 amperes RMS or greater.

Incoming Line Brace

Allen-Bradley manufactures an incoming line brace similar to the hardwood clamping type brace. To order an incoming line brace, contact your local Allen-Bradley sales office and ask for assembly number 4011384801. Important: Connectors should be installed so that they are in line with each other and so that there is proper spacing between phases. Make sure that hardware is torqued according to the required specifications.

Final Check List Before Energizing

The following procedure is provided as general guidance for a final check before energizing a newly installed CENTERLINE Motor Control Center. Use this final check list in conjunction with procedures listed in Publication 21005.0.1, CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers Start-Up Procedure. ATTENTION: To ensure the safety of personnel performing the Final Check, make sure that the motor control center remote power source(s) is disconnected and locked in the OFF/O position.

Final Check Before Energizing

1. Remove all blocks or temporary holding means used for shipment from all component devices in the motor control center. 2. Check enclosure and units to see that they have not been damaged so as to reduce electrical spacings. 3. Check the motor control center and verify that it is installed properly, making sure that it is level, supported, and anchored (if necessary or required). 4. Check the integrity of splice and other accessible bus connections. Torque values 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. 5. Check that all ground connections are made properly. 6. Check field wire for proper size. Proper field wire sizing criteria 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. 7. Check field wired circuits for agreement with wiring diagrams, and make sure the wiring is clear of live bus areas. 8. Make certain that all incoming and outgoing power wiring is secure and braced to withstand the effects of a fault current. Also make sure that the conduit and/or cabling is well supported.

Publication 2100-5.0 - October 1995

6-2

Final Check List Before Energizing

9. Check to make sure that the voltage and horsepower ratings of the motor agree with the ratings stamped on the unit nameplate of the unit to which it is connected. The unit nameplate is located on the interior of the bottom plate of plug-in units or on the interior right-hand side plate of frame mounted units. 10. Set any adjustable current and voltage trip mechanisms to their proper values. (Circuit breaker trip settings are listed in Publications 21002.3.1 and 21002.3.2.) 11. Where applicable, install power circuit fuses in the fusible switches compliant with local electrical code application requirements. Make sure that fuses are completely inserted into the fuse clips. 12. Where applicable, timers should be set for their proper interval settings. 13. Make sure that the overload relays or heater elements are selected, installed and/or adjusted to the relative full load current shown on the motor nameplate. 14. Manually exercise all switches, circuit breakers, their respective operators, interlocks and any other operating mechanisms to make certain they operate freely. ATTENTION: Do not operate a current transformer with its secondary open.

15. Check all current transformers to make sure that they are wired to their respective devices. Where applicable, remove shorting bars from the secondary of current transformers and make connections to their respective devices. 16. To avoid injury or possible damage to equipment, check and make sure that all barriers and parts that may have been removed during installation have been reinstalled. 17. Before closing the enclosure and/or the individual units, remove all tools, metal chips, scrap wire, and other debris from the motor control center interior. If there is an accumulation of dust or dirt, clean out by using a brush, vacuum cleaner or clean, lint-free rags. Do not use compressed air, because it will redistribute contaminants onto other surfaces.

Publication 2100-5.0 - October 1995

Final Check List Before Energizing

ATTENTION: Equipment that is sensitive to high test voltages such as meters, solid state devices, and capacitor units, should be isolated.

18. Conduct an electrical insulation resistance test to make sure that the motor control center and field wiring are free from short circuits and grounds. Conduct this test using an insulation resistance tester (megger) with a potential of 5001000 volts. This test should be conducted phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral in the motor control center. This test should be conducted with all of the switches or circuit breakers opened or in the OFF/O position. Electrical Insulation Resistance Test Typical insulation resistance values are 50 megaohms or greater. Next, check the field wiring. For example, motor cables and/or incoming line cables. Note that the insulation resistance values are affected by humidity or dampness that may cause a considerably lower insulation resistance reading. If this is the case and the insulation resistance values are below 1 megaohm, or the motor control center has been stored in a damp or humid area, it is recommended that the equipment be dried out. Dry out the motor cables by injecting a low voltage current. Use space heaters to dry out the motor control center. When the equipment is dry, repeat the insulation resistance test. The minimum value for insulation resistance on a new installation at start-up or energizing is 1 megaohm. 19. Make sure that all latches are secure. Close and latch all doors, making certain that no wires are pinched. Turn all unit disconnects or circuit breakers to the open or OFF/O position before energizing the motor control center.

Energizing Equipment
The following procedure is provided as general guidance for energizing a newly installed CENTERLINE Motor Control Center after the Final Check procedure has been completed, (see Chapter 6, Final Check List Before Energizing). Use this procedure in conjunction with procedures listed in Publication 21005.0.1, CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers Start-Up Procedure. ATTENTION: Energizing a motor control center for the first time is potentially dangerous. Serious damage and personal injury can result when the power is turned on. Therefore, only qualified personnel should energize the equipment.

Energizing Procedure
1. Review any additional instructions supplied for the proper operation of special units such as drives, Smart Motor Controllers (SMC), etc., with appropriate personnel. 2. Make sure that there is no load on the motor control center when it is energized. Turn off all of the main and unit disconnect handles. Also, make sure any associated remote devices are turned off. 3. Energize the motor control center remote power source. 4. Energize the main devices followed by the feeder devices and then the branch circuit devices. Always energize from the source of the system, working toward the loads. 5. After all of the disconnect devices have been closed, loads such as lighting circuits, motor starters, contactors, etc. may be energized. A. When power factor correction capacitors are energized along with the motor windings and the start-up procedure requires that the respective motors be jogged or inched, temporarily disconnect the power factor correction capacitors. B. Verify that any acceleration times are within specific application specifications.

Maintenance
A periodic maintenance program should be established for your motor control center to avoid unnecessary downtime due to neglect. How frequently you service your MCC will depend upon the equipment usage and the environment in which it operates. The following is a suggested checklist. ATTENTION:

De-energize motor control center before servicing.

Maintenance Checklist
1. Inspect the motor control center at least once per year. 2. Carefully inspect doors and enclosure sides for evidence of excessive heat. Generally, any temperature during operation that the palm of your hand can not stand for approximately 3 seconds may indicate a problem. 3. Check for moisture or any signs of dampness or drippings inside the motor control center. Condensation in conduit or dripping from an outside source is a common cause of motor control center failure. Eliminate any source of moisture. Seal off conduit, cracks, and openings that have allowed and/or could allow moisture to enter the MCC enclosure. Dry or replace and clean insulating material that is damp or wet or shows signs of moisture. Check devices such as contactors, circuit breakers, disconnect switches, relays, pushbuttons, etc., for wetness or signs of moisture, corrosion, or contamination. Replace damaged or malfunctioning parts. Make sure that the source or cause of wetness or contamination is identified and eliminated. 4. Check the integrity of bus splice connections. Bus splices can be easily identified by the label located on the interior of the vertical wireway door or on the interior right hand side plate of frame mounted units. Recommended torque values 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, and in Chapter 2, Installation Procedures Bus Torque Specifications or in Publication 21005.0.1, CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers Start-Up Procedure.

Maintenance Checklist continued

NOTE: The factory-made power connections are tightened by a computer-controlled torquing system. The following connections should never require re-torquing: Vertical to horizontal bus connections, power conductor to horizontal bus connections. These factory-made power bus connections do not require servicing for the life of the motor control center. 5. Air filters for fans should be periodically cleaned or changed, depending on the environmental conditions. 6. Check for proper function and freedom of movement (no sticking or binding) of the disconnect handle operating mechanisms and their defeater mechanisms. Replace broken, deformed, malfunctioning, or badly worn parts or assemblies. 7. Inspect bus stab connections for wear or corrosion. Wear and/or corrosion can cause increased resistance causing an increased temperature of the contact point which can lead to failure. Replace bus stabs if wear or corrosion is excessive. Lubricate bus stabs with NOOXID grease (catalog number 2100HN18 or 2100HN18T) before replacing the unit into the section. 8. Inspect current carrying parts such as fuse clips, knife blades of disconnects, and line and load terminals of devices for discoloration, corrosion or other signs of abnormalities. 9. Check locking or interlocking devices for proper working condition and capability of performing their intended functions. Adjust, repair, or replace any device if necessary. 10. Check contacts for excessive wear and dirt accumulation. Vacuum or wipe contacts with a soft cloth to remove dirt. Contacts are not harmed by discoloration and/or slight pitting. Contacts should never be filed, as this would reduce the life of the contacts. Contact spray cleaners should not be used, as they cause sticking on magnetic pole faces or in operating mechanisms, interfering with the electrical continuity of the contacts. Contacts should be replaced only after the silver has become badly worn. Always replace contacts in complete sets to avoid misalignment and uneven contact pressure. 11. Check for loose connections on power and control circuit terminals. Loose connections can cause overheating or hot spots that could lead to equipment malfunction or failure. Replace any damaged parts or wiring.

Maintenance Checklist continued

12. Check coils for evidence of overheating cracking, melting, or burning of insulation. If there is evidence of overheating, the coil must be replaced. When a coil needs to be replaced, check for and correct the overvoltage or undervoltage conditions that are causing the coil failure. Be sure to clean any residue of melted coil insulation from other parts of the device, or replace such parts. 13. Check all pilot lights. Replace burned out lamps and/or damaged lenses. 14. Check all fuses. When replacement is necessary, always install the same type and rated fuse that was originally furnished with the motor control center. 15. Remove accumulated dust and dirt by vacuuming. Do not use compressed air, as it may contain moisture and blow debris elsewhere within the enclosure. 16. Refer to individual user policies for periodic servicing of MCCs, and refer to NFPA 70B, Electrical Equipment Maintenance.

Disconnect Switch Contact Lubrication

The disconnect switches used within the MCC units are supplied with proper contact lubrication, and under normal operating conditions should not require further lubrication. However, if a switch that is used frequently becomes difficult to operate or is located in a highly corrosive or caustic environment, it may require lubrication. The lubricant to be used is NOOXID Compound (catalog number 2100HN18 for a 1 pint can or 2100HN18T for a 1 ounce tube.) To obtain the lubricant, contact your local Allen-Bradley sales office, distributor, or Packaged Control Products at Allen-Bradley, Company, Inc. ATTENTION: To prevent injury or death to personnel lubricating disconnect switch contacts, make sure that the motor control center remove power source(s) is disconnected and the respective disconnect(s) is locked in the OFF/O position. In the case of a plug-in unit, remove the unit from the motor control center. ATTENTION: To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, make sure that the unit handle operator is in the OFF/O position before removing the unit.

Instructions
1. For Plug-In Construction If disconnect switch needing lubrication is housed in a plug-in unit, remove the plug-in unit from the motor control center. (For removal of unit, refer to Chapter 4, Unit Removal and Installation.) For Frame Mounted Construction: If disconnect switch needing lubrication is housed in a frame mounted unit, turn off the power source(s) to the motor control center. ATTENTION: To prevent injury or death to personnel lubricating disconnect switch contacts, make sure that the motor control center remote power sources (s) is disconnected and the respective disconnects(s) is locked in the OFF/O position.

2. Remove the line guard cover and retain. 3. Remove and retain the arc hood. This allows access to the disconnects stationary contacts. 4. Generously apply the compound (sufficient enough to cover with a noticeable film) to both sides of the movable contact blades and to the adjacent insides of the stationary contacts. 5. Re-install the arc hood that was removed in Step 3. 6. Re-install the line guard cover that was removed in Step 2. 7. If the lubricated disconnect switch is housed in a plug-in unit, reinstall the unit. (For installation of unit, refer to Publication 21005.12, Installing Units with Vertical Operating Handles). NOTE: If the reasons for lubrication are due to corrosion (for example, a sulfur environment), replacing the unit disconnect may be required to avoid overheating conditions. Lubrication may reduce the problem short term; however, replacing the disconnect switch would be the correct and long term solution.

Maintenance After Fault Condition

ATTENTION: Disconnect all power sources to the motor control center before diagnosing the cause of the fault condition.

The opening of the short circuit protective device (such as fuses or circuit breakers) in a properly coordinated motor branch circuit is an indication of a fault condition in excess of operating overload. This fault condition must be corrected. Such a condition can cause damage to control equipment. When a fault occurs, de-energize the motor control center, repair the cause of the fault, and inspect all equipment thoroughly per NEMA Standards Publication No. ICS 2.21983 Part ICS 2302 Maintenance of Motor Controllers After A Fault Condition. Make necessary repairs or replacements prior to re-energizing the equipment. Be sure that replacements are of proper rating and are suitable for the application. In certain cases, it may be necessary to conduct an electrical insulation resistance test (megger). For procedure, refer to Chapter 6, Final Checklist Before Energizing.
