Chapter 2 – Receiving, Handling & Storage
Receiving
Before leaving the factory, the motor control center is
given a nal mechanical and electrical inspection and
is packed in accordance with the best practices for
electrical equipment.
On receipt of any apparatus, make an immediate
inspection for any damage or loss of equipment in
transit. Should damage or missing material be noted,
le a claim immediately with the carrier and notify
the nearest oce of the General Electric Company.
Information such as a description of the damage, the
shipping crate numbers, the requisition numbers and
the panel catalog number should accompany the claim.
Handling
Motor control center sections are always shipped in an
upright position, in single or group sections. Sections
must be maintained in an upright position during all
handling.
Figure 5. Positioning the MCC with rollers
Storage
If it is necessary to store the equipment for any length
of time, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• Uncrate the equipment.
• Store the equipment in a clean, dry, humidity-controlled
area at moderate temperature. Cover with a suitable
canvas or heavy-duty plastic cover to prevent entrance
of foreign material.
Never attempt to jack, lift, or move the equipment at
points other than the lifting angle or oor sills. Use two
or more chains or cables to distribute the weight evenly.
Pinch bars, pipe rollers or slings are useful implements
for handling equipment; but be careful to maintain
distributed loading and to always apply leverage at the
oor sills and/or lifting eyes. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate
typical handling techniques.
Figure 4. Using standard lifting angles
or lifting eyes to hoist the MCC
• If equipment must be stored in cool or high humidity
areas, in addition to completely covering the equipment,
provide a heat source to prevent condensation of
moisture in the equipment. Energize space heaters (if
furnished in the equipment) or place a standard 120volt lamp rated at 75 watts inside the bottom of each
vertical section.

Surface under motor control center base must
be of non-combustible material unless bottom
covers are installed in each vertical section.
The overall height of the equipment should be considered
with respect to headroom, top conduit entry space and
alignment with other equipment.
Note:
• If anchor bolts are to be imbedded in the foundation,
they must be located according to the drawing furnished
by GE for the specic equipment. Locate one in the
center front and one in the center back. Anchor bolts
should be 1/2" in diameter, of Grade 2 steel (minimum)
in non-seismic locations. Bolts must extend a minimum
of 2 11/32" above grade to 3/4" above the channel
sill. If 13" (330.2mm) deep sections are used, anchor
bolts or some form of external bracing is required.
• Seismic Zone 4/IBC testing was performed using 1/2" –
13 Grade 5 bolts, torqued to 70 foot-pounds, located in
each of the four corners in each section.

Installation of Flooring
For most installations, the MCC oor sills can rest on the
nished oor. The foundation for the equipment should
be level and even. Although not normally required, the
purchaser may elect to install, level and grout the steel
members or MCC oor sills in the oor, as illustrated in
Figure 8 and Figure 9. If the oor sills are removed, lifting
and moving the shipping sections must be done carefully.
If there are vertical sections of varying depths
(such as 13, 20, or 22 inches) in a single lineup,
the fronts of the sections must be lined up for
proper alignment of the main bus bars.
Figure 9 illustrates this point..

Positioning and Joining Sections
If groups of sections are to be joined together in a nal
lineup, remove the end cover plates and the plug buttons,
from the sides of the sections to be joined. Figure 10
shows the side views, with the end cover plates removed,
for 20-inch-deep sections with 2-inch (50.8 mm) and
4-inch (101.6 mm) bus bars.
Carefully check and remove dirt, dust or bits of packing
material from the interior of all sections. Use a brush,
soft cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Do not use compressed air to clean the equipment
if it contains moisture. Remove all hardware
packages, drawings and other items shipped with
the equipment. Check all nuts, bolts, and electrical
joints for tightness.
All cables entering the bottoms of sections should be
pulled through conduits to a point where they will be
accessible after the equipment is in place. Sections can
be moved to their nal position and properly leveled.
For Arc Resistant plenum-less design, the cables can
enter either through the front or rear aluminum ap on
top of the section.
For Type 12 and Arc Resistant enclosure, see Figure
10A for proper gasket in between the section splits. For
additional gasket material order part number 245A1888P5.

NEC Work Space
NEC Work Space is dened in Table 110.26(a) Working
Spaces. Included in these clearance requirements is the
step-back distance from the face of the equipment.
Table 110.26(a) provides requirements for clearances
away from the equipment, based on the circuit voltage
to ground, and whether there are grounded or ungrounded objects in the step-back space, or if there are exposed
live parts across from each other. The voltages to ground
consist of two groups: 0 to 150 and 151 to 600, inclusive.
Remember, where an ungrounded system is utilized, the
voltage to ground will be the greatest voltage between
the given conductor and any other conductor of the
circuit. For example, the voltage to ground for a 480-volt
ungrounded delta system is 480 volts.
Figure 10. Side view of a 20-inch-deep section showing the cover
plates, plug bottoms and joining points
11
See Figure 14 for general working clearance requirements.
Distances are measured from the live parts if the live
parts are exposed, or from the enclosure front if live
parts are enclosed. If any assemblies, such as switchboards or motor control centers, are accessible from the
back and expose live parts, the working clearance
dimensions would be required at the rear of the equipment,
as illustrated. Note that for Condition 3, where there is
an enclosure on opposite sides of the working space,
the clearance for only one working space is required.

plenum the conduit can be assembled on top of the
plenum. GE oers an additional pull box for higher conduit
space requirement. The Pull box can be assembled on
top of the incoming section.
Always remove top cover plates when drilling holes.
This prevents small metal chips from falling into the
panel and cause serious damage.
Figure 14. General Working Clearance Requirements
Installation of Top Entry Conduits
After the motor control center is in place and leveled, and
the sections are joined together, conduits can be brought
into the tops of sections as required. Figure 15 and
Figure 16 show the conduit entry space available at the
tops of standard sections. Refer to drawings furnished by
GE for deviations on specic installations. Note: Top rear
entrance should only be used with full rear accessibility.

Align the conduit linearly directly over or as close as
possible to the supports. Run the cable in a convenient
orientation, making sure the cable is located against
the supports before it connects to the cable terminals.
Lash the cable using the following procedure:
Wrap the line cables together and, if provided, tie
cables together with nominal 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) nylon
rope or rope having a minimum tensile strength of 2000
pounds (8896 N), at 6 inches (152 mm) and 12 inches
(305 mm) from the line terminals. Use ve wraps and
complete every additional 6 inches with ve wraps or
every 1 inch (25 mm) with one wrap. Use supplied cable
supports as desired. Refer to UL 891.
Individual Unit Wiring
Open the vertical wireway door(s) and the top and/or
bottom horizontal wireway hinged covers. All doors
can be removed, if desired, by extracting hinge pins or
removing the hinge.
When installing cables, be sure to not damage
the cable insulation on any sharp edges, such as
steel work or screws.
Where access to the rear of the section is available,
cables can be brought into the space behind the vertical
bus and brought forward into the front wire trough area
through any of the modular openings in the right-hand
steel support plate.
Wiring NEMA Type A Motor Control Centers
Use the following procedure to wire NEMA Type A MCCs:
1. Remove black plastic barrier closest to unit connection
points and remove knockouts as required.
2. Pull load cables near the unit to be wired. Measure
(allowing for cable bends), cut and strip the cables,
and feed them carefully through barrier knockout
into the unit. Terminate the cables on the feeder or
starter lugs provided in the unit. If aluminum wire is
used, coat the wire strands with an oxide-inhibiting
grease specically designated for use with aluminum
cable. Install plastic side barrier.
3. Pull the control wiring, then measure, cut, strip,
and terminate it on individual device terminals in
the unit.
4. When specied, an optional ground lug is provided in
each draw-out combination starter unit for terminating
a motor-frame grounding wire. (For larger starters,
the lug is mounted on the horizontal ground bus.)
5. Use cord or plastic ties to secure all wiring. Route the
wiring to avoid interference with moving parts and
to keep it away from heat-producing components,
such as resistors and fuses.
6. Verify that the connections on all devices and terminal
blocks are tightened to their proper torque values, as
listed on the label on the vertical wireway door.

Removal of Draw-Out Motor Control Center Units
Some units may still have control power applied
from an external source after the unit disconnect
has been switched to the OFF position. Be extremely
careful when removing units from any motor control
center. Failure to observe this precaution can result
in serious injury or death.
The procedure for removing a motor control center unit
is generally the reverse of the procedure for installing a
unit:
1. Ensure that the unit disconnect is in the OFF position,
as shown in Figure 25. For AFM units, ensure that
the stabs are in the “DISENGAGED” position with
indicators showing green.
2. Turn the door latches a quarter turn, open the unit
door and the vertical wiring trough door.
3. Disconnect all eld-connected wiring by separating
the pull-apart terminal blocks in the unit. Pass the
terminal blocks and wires into the vertical wiring
trough. Note that the plastic knock-outs in the vertical
wireway barrier can be removed and left within the
vertical wireway, with the eld wiring, rather than
threading the wiring and terminals back through
the knock-out.
4. Disconnect any other eld-installed wires that are
terminated in the unit. Remove these wires from
the unit, tag them (if desired), and leave them in the
vertical wireway adjacent to the unit.
Operating Handles, Door Interlocks and
Padlocking Provisions
All Evolution motor control center units are furnished
with disconnect operating handles that are integral
to the unit structure. The position of the disconnect
(ON–OFF for switches or ON–TRIP–OFF for circuit
breakers) is indicated by the position of the operating
handle. The operating handle is interlocked with a catch
on the inside of the unit door to prevent inadvertent
opening of the door when the disconnect is in the ON
position, as shown in Figure 27. Switching the handle
to OFF allows access to the interior of the unit.
Each disconnect operating handle is equipped with
an interlock that prevents opening the door when the
disconnect is ON.
A concealed screw can be turned counterclockwise
with a 5/32” Allen wrench to defeat the door interlock
and access the breaker disconnect when ON, as shown
in Figure 28. Only qualied personnel should be allowed
to defeat the interlock.
Be careful with any eld wiring removed from a
unit that may become energized. Such wiring
must be adequately insulated to avoid inadvertent
contact. Failure to observe this precaution can
result in serious injury or death.
5. Turn the latches at the top and bottom of the unit a
quarter turn counterclockwise to release the unit.
These latches are shown in Figure 25 and Figure 26.
6. Pull unit out to remove it, being extremely careful to
support its weight as it is fully withdrawn.
7. The door over the withdrawn unit can be latched closed.
8. If desired, a blank door can be ordered to cover the
unused opening. (For large unit spaces, two blank
doors and a horizontal unit shelf may be required.)

Figure 29. The door cannot be opened when the disconnect is ON
The disconnect is also equipped with a padlocking
provision, so that the operating handle can be locked in
the OFF position. The handle can also be drilled to
accommodate one padlock to secure it in the ON
position. In either case, the unit cannot be withdrawn
because of interference between the padlock(s) and door.
CAUTION: The friction of Type 12 gasketing can
prevent the breaker disconnect operating handle from
returning to the full ON position. Prior to servicing,
conrm breaker disconnect is in the OFF position.
Operating Handle
The operating handle must be moved out of the way
to access the breaker disconnect. Make sure that the
disconnect operating handle is in the OFF position.
Open the door, then remove the mounting screw
securing the base of the handle to the side of the unit,
as shown in Figure 31. The handle can then be rotated
up and out of the way, as shown in Figure 32, allowing
access to the breaker.
Final commissioning: Verify that all doors are
properly latched and interlocked prior to energizing.

Chapter 4 – Operation
Preparing for Initial Operation
In addition to the normal circuit checking after wiring
is completed, the following specic actions should be
taken before energizing the equipment:
1. Check and tighten any electrical connections, such as
lugs and bus splices that may have loosened during
shipment, handling and installation. Torque values are
provided on or adjacent to components or lugs. See torque
labels in MCC vertical wireway door. Visually check
that all latches on Arc Resistant enclosures are engaged.
2. Operate each magnetic device by hand to verify that
all moving parts operate freely. Check all electrical
contacts for proper operation.
3. Current transformers are shipped with a shunt
across the secondary if the circuit is not complete.
Remove the shunt after completing the connections
to the transformer secondary.
4. Verify that the horsepower and voltage rating of the
motor agree with the rating stamped on the starter
unit to which it is connected.
5. Check each overload heater or electronic overload
relay setting against the motor full-load current.
Check current transformer-operated overload
relays to be certain that overload heaters are
in place. Do not operate starters without
overload protection.
the operating handle down beyond the OFF position.
The operating handle should move upward to the
OFF position after the breaker has been reset. After
the reset, turn the circuit breaker ON and then OFF
to conrm proper operation.
10. Visually check all units and enclosures to ensure
that electrical spacings have not been reduced
because of shipping and handling actions.
11. Verify that the motor control center enclosure and
units are grounded.
12. Replace all protection barriers and panels that have
been removed during installation.
13. Carefully clean the equipment interior with a clean
cloth, soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove all
metal chips, dust, wire and other debris.
14. After taking precautions to prevent accidental contact
with the motor control center buswork, conduct the
following insulation-resistance test with a 1000 Vdc
(Megger) tester. With all disconnects in the OFF position,
• Apply voltage between all phase pairs.
• Apply voltage between each phase and ground.
All readings should be 1 megohm minimum; typical
values will be 50–100 megohm but may vary based
on humidity.
Similarly, test individual feeder and motor circuit
wiring (eld wiring) as each set of conductors is pulled
into the motor control center, before terminating
the conductors at either end.
6. Check all circuit breaker trip settings and fuse ratings
against the drawings supplied with the equipment.
a. If trip settings must be changed, use the GE rating
plug extractor tool (catalog number TRTOOL) to
remove rating plugs from Spectra circuit breakers.
b. See the startup procedure following information
regarding instantaneous trip settings on magneticonly circuit breakers.
Do not exceed the long-time and/or instantaneous trip settings stipulated in the National
Electrical Code and as identied in the overload
heater selection tables in this manual.
7. Check all pneumatic or motor-driven timers for
proper time-interval settings.
8. Manually operate all branch-circuit disconnects and
verify proper operation of disconnects and door
interlocks.
9. Where applicable, manually trip all circuit breakers
to verify that operating handles move freely to the
TRIP indicating position. With the door closed and
latched, reset each tripped circuit breaker by pushing
15. With all disconnects OFF, close and latch all doors
and secure all external covers.
16. For AFM Units, ensure that all visual indicators are
showing “RED” to indicate “ENGAGED” stab position
and “OPEN” shutter position.
Initial Operation of the Motor Control Center
Because of problems that may occur during
the initial energizing of the motor control
equipment, only qualied personnel should
carry out this startup procedure.
Use the following procedure for initial startup of the
motor control equipment. Be sure that the steps in the
previous section, Preparing for Initial Operation, have
been completed.
1. Ensure that all doors are closed and latched and all
external covers on the motor control center are
secured. Visually check that all latches on Arc Resistant
enclosures are engaged.
2. Verify that all main and branch disconnects within
the motor control center are OFF.
22
Page 24
Evolution Series E9000 User Manual
3. Verify (with an insulation-resistance tester) that all
main incoming feeders to the motor control center
are adequately insulated.
4. Close the upstream feeder to energize the motor
control center.
5. Close the main disconnects, if any, at the motor
control center.
6. Close each branch-circuit disconnect or feeder at
the motor control center. For AFM Units, ensure that
all visual indicators are showing “RED” to indicate
“ENGAGED” stab position and “OPEN” shutter position.
7. Operate each motor starter individually to verify satisfactory operation, including the following parameters:
• Motor rotation
• Pilot light indication
• Electrical interlocking
• Acceleration and sequence timing
Power-factor correction capacitors on
individual motor circuits should be temporarily
disconnected during startup.

8. Adjust instantaneous settings on magnetic-only circuit
breakers and/or fuse sizes and overload heater
selections to achieve proper motor and branch circuit
protection. (See NEC Article 430.52.) Since the
adjustable trip setting on magnetic-only circuit
breakers is factory set at the minimum trip position,
nuisance tripping may occur on initial motor starting.
Increase the trip setting in increments until tripping
no longer occurs during motor starting. Do not exceed
the maximum trip settings given in overload relay
tables in this publication. All adjustable overloads
are also factory set at minimum. Check motor
name-plate data and set overloads accordingly.

Chapter 5 – Maintenance
Equipment Maintenance
De-energize all equipment before performing any
maintenance operation. There may be voltage present
within the equipment from remote sources, even
though all main- and branch-circuit disconnects have
been opened at the equipment. Failure to observe
this precaution can result in serious injury or death.
The customer should prepare a maintenance program
consisting of a schedule and checklist matrix listing items
to be periodically examined on the installed equipment.
The frequency and extent of the maintenance activities
will vary depending on such factors as equipment usage
and environmental conditions. In any maintenance
program the following actions should be included:
1. Remove accumulated dust and dirt with a soft
cloth, brush or vacuum cleaner.
2. Wipe clean all main bus insulators and vertical bus
barriers.
3. Inspect main and vertical bus joints and main bus
supports and tighten, if necessary. Refer to Table 1
for torque specications.
4. Inspect all wiring from units for deterioration of
insulation.
5. Remove draw-out units and check stabs and all
unit wiring. Remove accumulated dust from
horizontal shelves and the areas around stabs.
6. Check all starter contacts. They need only be
replaced when nearly all the silver tip is gone and
the contact tip support is exposed. Do not le the
contacts. Filing or otherwise dressing the contacts
only results in lost tip material and reduces starter
life. See GE publication GET-6915A for questionable
contact appearance.
7. Check all unit wiring for deterioration of insulation
and tighten all connections.
8. Visually check meters and instruments. Check critical
instrument calibrations.
9. Check all unit door interlocks for proper operation.
10. Check all indicating lights and replace, as required.
11. If fuse replacement is necessary, always install the
same type and rating as the fuses furnished with the
motor control center. Fuse designs may be mechanically equivalent but not electrically equivalent. They
may not have the same short-circuit withstand and
current-limiting ability.
Inlet Filter Maintenance
Filter inspection and cleaning must be carried out every
six months or more frequently as per your established
maintenance plan. The frequency of lter maintenance
or replacements should be determined individually,
depending on dust accumulation and operating period.
Note: A soiled lter mat will cause the temperature to
rise inside the enclosure. The lter mat can be regenerated by washing or blowing out.
Arc Resistant Maintenance
If a unit is removed from an Arc Resistant section for
maintenance, a solid blank door should be used to
cover the opening in order to maintain arc resistance.
Control Power
The option to have control power or test power during
service is a functionality that has been provided with
the Arc Resistant introduction of the LV MCC. This is a
necessary requirement in order to check functions during
service such as pilot lights and devices. This is intended
to standardize the oerings when a customer orders
common control power on the MCC. The two options we
provide allow for 1) customer supplied 120VAC power
or 2) self-contained control power within the MCC.
The key switch is utilized to operate the control power
when the stabs are disengaged. The key switch is turned
“On” allowing the secondary control power to be utilized.
The key switch should be “O” during normal operation
of the MCC.
Control Power Fusing
Control fuses are front accessible except in the 6-inch
compact starter. Remove 6-inch FVNR starter for
maintenance. Fuses are located on the side, as shown
in Figure 40.

Chapter 6 –Overload Heaters
Heaters for Ther-Mag Circuit Breaker Controllers
For continuous-rated motors with a service factor of
1.15 to 1.25, select the appropriate heaters for the
motor full-load current. For continuous-rated motors
with a service factor of 1.0, multiply the motor full-load
current by 0.9 and use this value to select heaters.
Overload relay tripping current in 40°C ambient is the
minimum value of full-load current multiplied by 1.25.
Provide short-circuit protection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code.
Overload relays with automatic reset may automat-
ically start a motor connected to a two-wire control
circuit. When automatic restarting is not desired,
use a three-wire control circuit.
Circuit breaker tripping may be an indication that
a fault current has been interrupted. To provide
continued protection against re or shock hazard, examine all current-carrying parts and other
components of the motor controller and replace any
damaged components. If heater burnout occurs,
the complete overload relay must be replaced.
The Mag-Break protector is factory adjusted to the
minimum trip setting
To maintain overload, short-circuit, and ground-
fault protection, use the following instructions
to select heaters and to adjust the Mag-Break
trip setting.
For continuous-rated motors with a service factor of
1.15 to 1.25, select the appropriate heaters for the
motor full-load current. For continuous-rated motors
with a service factor of 1.0, multiply the motor full-load
current by 0.9 and use this value to select heaters.
Use the heater table to verify that the Mag-Break and
current limiter rating is correct for the motor full-load
current. Then set the Mag-Break trip setting to the
recommended value.
If the Mag-Break trips during motor startup, increase
the trip setting by one step at a time until the motor
can be consistently started. Do not exceed the maximum
trip setting shown in the heater table.

Heaters for NEMA Size 6 and 7 Fused Controllers
For continuous-rated motors with a service factor of
1.15 to 1.25, select the appropriate heaters for the
motor full-load current. For continuous-rated motors
with a service factor of 1.0, multiply the motor full-load
current by 0.9 and use this value to select heaters.
Overload relay tripping current in 40° C ambient is the
minimum value of full-load current multiplied by 1.25.
Provide short-circuit protection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code
Opening of the circuit breaker or power fuse may be
an indication that a fault current has been interrupted.
To provide continued protection against re or shock
hazard, examine all current-carrying parts and other
components of the motor controller and replace any
damaged components. If heater burnout occurs, the
complete overload relay must be replaced.
Overload heaters for controllers with NEMA Size 6 starters for
standard and ambient-compensated ratings, CT ratio 600:5.
Electronic Overload for Circuit Breaker and Fused
Controllers
The tripping current is 120% of the dial setting. For
continuous-rated motors with a service factor of 1.15
to 1.25, set the dial to the motor full-load current. For
continuous-rated motors with a service factor of 1.0,
set the dial to 0.9 of the motor full-load current.
Refer to GEH-6430 or 6431 before energizing.
Opening of the branch-circuit protective device may be
an indication that a fault current has been interrupted.
To provide continued protection against re or shock
hazard, examine all current-carrying parts and other
components of the motor controller and replace any
damaged components. If heater burnout occurs, the
complete overload relay must be replaced.
Provide short-circuit protection in accordance with NEC
Article 430 or CE Code Part 1.
Tripping current is 120% of Dial setting. Motors with 1.15-1.25
service factor, set dial to motor FLA Motors with 1.0 service factor, set dial to 0.9 motor FLA.
