Refer to Dimension Drawing provided with order documentation for additional details related to cabinet floor plan.
Pre-determined cabinets have been designed for Uniform Building Code (UBC) seismic zone 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4, and IBC (International Building Code) seismic activity without overturning or lateral movement, provided they are securely mounted according to UBC, IBC and local building codes. This can include concrete pad design, steel floor design and the sizing of cabinet anchors. Concrete floor cutouts must not be adjacent to floor anchor bolts and must be sized to seismic load. Consult factory if floor mounting must be reviewed by an accredited engineer. Many jurisdictions require an engineer from the local area to review the design. Seismic qualification does not indicate that the equipment will function properly after a seismic event.

Pre-determined cabinets have been designed for Uniform Building Code (UBC) seismic zone 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4, and IBC (International Building Code) seismic activity without overturning or lateral movement, provided they are securely mounted according to UBC, IBC and local building codes. This can include concrete pad design, steel floor design and the sizing of cabinet anchors. Concrete floor cutouts must not be adjacent to floor anchor bolts and must be sized to seismic load. Consult factory if floor mounting must be reviewed by an accredited engineer. Many jurisdictions require an engineer from the local area to review the design. Seismic qualification does not indicate that the equipment will function properly after a seismic event.

Testing Contactor Operation

1. Connect the appropriate external power supply (120 or 230V AC) to the test receptacle in the control panel. Turn the selector switch to the TEST position.
ATTENTION: Some control circuit configurations may require control jumpers to let the contactor close during the test procedure. Do not jumper any isolation switch contacts such as ISa or ISb (see Figure 66 on
page 65 for the location of these contacts). Using jumpers for these
contacts may result in equipment damage or injury to personnel.
2. Electrically operate the contactor several times. Inspect the armature plate to verify that it fully contacts the magnetic cores.
3. Turn the selector switch to the OFF position and unplug the test voltage.
4. Remove any metal filings or loose hardware from around the magnetic
cores of the vacuum contactor. The debris is attracted to the coil once it is energized and could prevent the contactor from closing properly.

Adjusting the Change-of-State Point

This procedure sets the secondary electrical interlock. When properly adjusted, the electrical interlock is designed to open the control power circuit before the isolation switch opens as the handle is moved to the OFF position.
1. Once the auxiliaries have been adjusted, move the isolation switch handle to the ON position.
2. Connect a conductivity measuring device across the closed auxiliary contacts.

Emergency Circumvention Procedure for Power Cell Entry

3. Slowly move the isolation switch handle towards the OFF position and observe the point at which the movable isolation switch blades separate from the incoming line stabs. The auxiliary contacts must change state from the closed to open position before the isolation switch blades lose contact with the incoming line stabs. This prevents the isolation switch from being opened while the unit is energized and under load conditions.
ATTENTION: The auxiliary contacts must be properly adjusted to avoid opening the isolation switch under load conditions. Improper adjustment may result in damage to the equipment and/or severe burns, injury or death to personnel.
4. If the auxiliaries do not change state before the isolation switch opens, repeat the auxiliary contacts adjustment procedure (refer to Auxiliary
Contacts Inspection and Replacement on page 63).
The interlocking mechanism of the medium voltage starter is designed to prohibit access to the power cell while the isolation switch handle is in the ON position and the isolation switch is closed.
The following procedure is intended to be used only when the isolation switch cannot be opened as described in the Door Opening Procedure for either standard or ArcShield enclosures.

ArcShield Unit Information
Appendix A

Overview

ArcShield Design

ArcShield units have a robust arc resistant enclosure design that has been tested per IEEE C37.20.7 (2001). Each ArcShield structure was tested to withstand the effects of an arc flash at 40 kA for 0.5 seconds. ArcShield units provide Type 2B Accessibility.
ArcShield units typically include a pressure relief vent on the roof of the structure (some incoming units may not have a pressure relief vent if top cable entry is required). Under arc flash conditions the pressure relief vent will open allowing hazardous flames and gases to exit the enclosure via the plenum. The low voltage panel area is sealed to prevent flames and gases from entering; however, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used whenever working on live circuits. (Refer to NFPA-70E) or (SA-Z462 in North America).
ATT EN TI ON : To ensure Arc resistant integrity, it is important to ensure that the following rules are followed:
The pressure relief vent may not be tampered with, and it is not to be used as a step.
No alterations can be made to the ArcShield structure.
All covers and plates removed for installation or maintenance purposes must be
re-installed and properly secured. Failure to do so voids the arc resistance integrity.
Power cable entry points are to be treated as the boundary between a hazardous location and sealed accordingly. Failure to do so voids the arc resistant integrity.
A plenum or chimney must be used to direct the arc flash energy to a suitable location. Failure to do so voids the arc resistant integrity. Refer to Appendix B for plenum installation instructions. Refer to Appendix C for chimney installation instructions.
All wiring between the low voltage panel and the power cell must be routed through a suitable gland to ensure flames and gases are not transmitted into this area (as fitted from factory).
The medium voltage power cell doors must be properly secured, using both the handle mechanism and the door bolts (refer to instruction label on the power cell door and refer to Opening the Medium Voltage Doors
Chapter 3). Failure to do so voids the arc resistance integrity.

Appendix A ArcShield Unit Information

Exhaust Systems: Chimney or Plenum Option

Plenum Information

A plenum can be provided for each unit, and is to be field-mounted on the top of the unit structure (some incoming units may not have a plenum if top cable entry is required). The purpose of the plenum is to direct the hazardous flames and gases away from the top of the arc resistant enclosure. Unit plenums are secured to the top of the unit structure and to adjacent plenums, creating a continuous conduit for release of the arc flash energy. Refer to Appendix B installation instructions.
Each ArcShield line-up includes a plenum exhaust section that extends beyond either the left or right ends of the line-up. The other end of the plenum is capped with an end cover. Extensions can be added to the plenum to allow the arc flash energy to be directed further away from the ArcShield line-up to an area where safe venting of the plasma gases can occur.

Plenum Exhaust Considerations

The following options for locating the plenum exhaust are presented:
1. Plenum ducted to an area of the control room where arc gases are permitted to escape, with plenum extensions (see Figure 71
2. Plenum duct to outside of control room (see Figure 71
Plan the location where the plenum will exhaust. Ensure that:
There is no access to personnel while equipment is energized.
Area is free of flammable material or vapors
Ensure that adequate space is provided around the plenum exhaust, as outlined in

Additional Notes

The walls of the plenum exit area must be capable of withstanding the pressure generated.
Any painted surfaces which face direct contact with the arc products may ignite. Flame suppression is recommended.
The exit point can also be outside the building. Ensure exit area can not be blocked by ice, snow, or vermin nests.
Access barriers are recommended as a means of restricting access by personnel while the equipment is energized. Chain link fencing is a suitable barrier material.
Equipment that consists of more than 4 vertical sections bolted together may require additional plenum exits. Rockwell Automation will provide guidance on requirements for additional plenum exits when required.

Chimney Information

A chimney can be provided for each unit, and is to be field mounted on top of the unit structure. The purpose of the chimney is to direct the hazardous flames and gases away from the top of the resistant enclosure. The chimney is secured to the top of each unit structure. Refer to Appendix C instructions.
Each ArcShield line-up includes a chimney exhaust section that extends vertically directly above the enclosure.
for chimney installation

Chimney Exhaust Considerations

1. From the outlet of the chimney, there needs to be a minimum distance of
1.7 m (67 inches) from the top of the chimney to the ceiling, and 1 m (39 inches) on each side.
2. No obstructions (eg. Piping) can be in the path of the exhaust within this 2 m (78 inches) height requirement.
Plan the location where the chimney will exhaust. Ensure that:
There is no access to personnel while equipment is energized.
Area is free of flammable material or vapors.
Ensure that adequate space is provided around the chimney exhaust as

Bracing of the plenum must be able to withstand the dynamic forces of the arc fault as well as any other vibration or seismic effects associated with the installation. Most of this force will be in the direction opposite to where the relief vent exits. The amount of bracing will depend on how the plenum is supported at its exit as well as the distance from the end of the cabinets to the exit vent.
A flange is available for installing hangers to support the plenum weight.
The plenum extension has holes for mechanical support.
Weight per unit length of Rockwell supplied plenum = 28 kg/m (19 lb/ft).
Installer is responsible for ensuring that the plenum extension has
sufficient support to resist the effect of vibrations and seismic effects.

The “End Cover Plate” must be mounted on the closed end of the Line-up at this time during the assembly using 5/16-in. hardware (see Figure 82
Left side).

STEP 4 – Closing the Front of the Plenum Sections

After the first stage of the Plenum assemblies have been mounted, the Plenums can then be “closed-up” by replacing the front duct sections as shown in
Figure 83
Figure 83 - Plenum Sections
.

STEP 5 – Extension and Elbow Assembly

Do not re-install the front duct section of the last Plenum on the exhaust side of the Line-up at this time (refer to STEP 6 – Mounting Extension/Elbow to
Plenum “Line-up” on page 84 for more information).
Use silicone caulking generously to fill any air gaps once the Plenum has been securely mounted in place.
The 36" Extension components and 90° Elbow Section are to be attached using 5/16-in. hardware in the following sequence:
Step 5A – See Figure 84
Step 5B – See Figure 85
Step 5C – See Figure 86
The Screen Cover Plate is attached in Figure 85.

STEP 6 – Mounting Extension/Elbow to Plenum “Line-up”

As referred to in STEP 4 – Closing the Front of the Plenum Sections on page 83, the last Plenum at the exhaust side of the line-up has the front duct section removed. This allows access to fastener holes in order to mount the Extension/ Elbow components (see Figure 87
84 Rockwell Automation Publication 1500-UM055G-EN-P - May 2013
).

STEP 7 – Additional Mounting Support

The Extension/Elbow Assembly must have additional mounting support.
90° Elbow Section: Approximate weight 64 kg (142 lbs)
36" Extension Assembly: Approximate weight 51 kg (112 lbs)
Figure 88
shows an example of how the Extension/Elbow Sections can be supported by suspension from a high ceiling. Points A, B & C show where chains or high tension cables may be connected.
Figure 88 - Completed Assembly for optional vertical exit Plenum (Right hand exit)
During an arc fault, the plenum will be subjected to a brief high pressure shock wave. The Extension/Elbow assembly may experience dynamic loading. It is important to account for dynamic loading when selecting supporting means and materials.
