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 AArcShield 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.

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.

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

ArcShield Plenum Installation Instructions
The following instructions are provided to ensure the proper installation and
function of plenum components supplied with ArcShield enclosures. Refer to
Appendix A
attempting to follow these instructions.
for additional information related to ArcShield plenums before
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.
Plan the location where the plenum will exhaust (refer to Appendix A).
Equipment in the area of the plenum exhaust will be damaged or destroyed.
Mark the plenum exhaust area as a Hazardous Zone (Figure 74
Figure 74 - Plenum Exhaust Label
).
Rockwell Automation Publication 1500-UM055G-EN-P - May 201377
An example of a general Plenum assembly configuration is shown in Figure 76.
Plenums of varying widths are mounted directly over the MV enclosures of the
corresponding width. A 0.9 m (36 in.) Exhaust extension assembly is shown
mounted on the extreme right side Plenum of the equipment “Line-up” (can
alternatively exhaust to the left).

STEP 1 – Mounting a Single
Plenum
Plenum exhaust can be on the left or right hand end of the line up. Pictures and
figures in this procedure are shown for a right hand exhaust exit direction. Also
shown is an optional vertical (top) direction exhaust extension (see Figure 88
).
Plenum components not directly mounted to the tops of the MV enclosures,
must have additional mounting support. This includes the Extension
components and 90° Elbow Sections (refer to STEP 7 – Additional Mounting
Support on page 86).
Before mounting a single Plenum over an MV enclosure, the front duct section
must first be removed. This is shown in Figure 77
Figure 77 - Removing Front Duct Section
.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1500-UM055G-EN-P - May 201379
In preparation for mounting Plenum, remove 1/4-20 fasteners from the Relief
vent on the top of the MV enclosure. Leave the (4) corner fasteners in place
The Plenums are designed to fit over the fastener heads at the (4) corners of the
Relief vent. The corner fasteners are required to secure the Relief vent during
installation.
Plenum Placement on Structure
Once the Plenum has been lifted in place directly over the relief vent (shown in
Figure 80

ArcShield Plenum Installation InstructionsAppendix B
STEP 2 – Alignment of “Sideby-Side” Plenums
Use silicone caulking generously to fill any air gaps once the Plenum has been
securely mounted in place.
Plenums mounted side-by-side must be fastened together through the aligning
holes using 5/16-in. supplied hardware (see Figure 81
).
Rockwell Automation Publication 1500-UM055G-EN-P - May 201381
Any unused holes must be filled with thread forming screws. i.e.: “Lifting Lug
holes”.
All Gaps must be sealed and filled with silicone.
STEP 3 – Sequence of Final
Assembly
All Plenums in a Line-up must be mounted to the top of each enclosure and to
the Plenum directly beside it before the front duct sections are re-attached (see
Figure 77
Figure 82 - Sequence of Final Assembly
).

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

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.
