The CENTERLINE power bus structure distributes line power throughout the
MCC via an isolated bus work structure. A standard, center-fed,
300 A vertical bus supplies power to units above and below the horizontal bus,
which results in an effective 600 A capacity and unrestricted unit
arrangement. An optional 600 A vertical bus provides an effective rating of
1200 A.

Chapter 1 System Overview
StructureCENTERLINE 2500 MCCs offer units with a full complement of AC drives, soft
starters, and other devices. Pluggable power connections on the back of the
unit plug into the vertical bus. A mechanical interlock helps prevent the unit
door from being opened while the main switch is in the ON/I position. An
additional mechanical interlock helps prevent the unit from being withdrawn
or inserted when the unit main switch is closed. Separate vertical wireways
isolate control and network cables from power wiring. Units are available as
fixed or withdrawable.

IMPORTANT
CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs are designed to function in any column-number
sequence. However, we recommend that columns be installed in sequential order.
Each CENTERLINE 2500 MCC column nameplate identifies column-number
sequence, for example, MCC column 1 of 1 or 1 of 5. See Figure 6
for where to
find column-number sequence information.
Columns are numbered to match factory-supplied MCC elevation drawings
and to identify MCC columns and units easily. If there are questions about
column numbering during field installation, inspection, or operation, the
following instructions can provide guidance.
IMPORTANT
Leftmost column must be installed in the proper location for the bus to
splice. (Both ends of double-front MCCs must be installed as ends for
splicing.)
16Rockwell Automation Publication 2500-IN001F-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 1 System Overview
The most important criteria for additions of columns to existing MCCs is
matching the horizontal bus, enclosure type, and network capabilities for the
complete MCC line up. The voltage, current rating, short circuit withstand,
and IP rating for all columns must be consistent.
ArcShield LabelsMCC columns with arc proof assembly have a rating label (Detail E in Figure 8
on page 18) below the nameplate. There are also labels on other parts that must
be in place before operating an MCC with ArcShield; see Figure 8 on page 18
At the end of a lineup, CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs with ArcShield have a backcorner baffle and insulation on the center side closing-plate; see Figure 4 on
page 14 for more details. They also have external vertical support angles at each
end of the lineup.

Removing the Covers
Follow these procedures for removing the covers on the MCC.
1. Remove the top and bottom horizontal wireway covers from the MCC.
2. If present, remove the top, bottom, and center end closing plates, on the
sides of the two columns that are to be joined.
Figure 9 - Wireway Covers and Closing Plates to Remove From the MCC
3. If ArcShield is present, remove the center end closing plate insulators.
IMPORTANT
When you plan MCC cable routing, consider cable replacement in
your plans.
For more information about cable installation, see Chapter 4 on page 49
4. For double front applications, remove the backplate of each MCC
column before you begin to position them.

Center
3. Position the MCC in the location where it is to be installed.
IMPORTANT
The floor surface must be level.
4. Depending on the installation site, begin with the leftmost or right-most
column and install one shipping block at a time.
ATTENTION: For MCC handling guidelines, see Receiving, Handling, and
Storing CENTERLINE 2500 Motor Control Centers Instructions, publication
2500-IN002, which is provided with shipped MCC units. Use these
guidelines to help avoid personal injury and equipment damage during
handling, and to facilitate moving the MCC at the installation site.
Documentation packages that are shipped with assembled MCCs include an
MCC elevation drawing of a floor plan layout. To secure a column to the
foundation, see the provided floor plan layout and the following procedures.
See Chapter 4
