General Description
Allen-Bradley CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers (MCCs) 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.
CENTERLINE MCCs are designed in standard widths of 20 in.
(508 mm), 25 in. (635 mm), 30 in. (762 mm), 35 in. (789 mm), and
40 in. (1016 mm). The standard front-mounted depths of an MCC are
15 in. (381 mm) and 20 in. (508 mm), in addition back-to-back
mounted depths of 30 in. (762 mm) and 40 in. (1016 mm) are also
offered. The standard height of an MCC is 90 in. (2286 mm). A 70.5 in.
(1791 mm) high section is also available. All MCC sections are
supplied with top and bottom horizontal wireways. Sections which
are designed to accommodate plug-in units include a vertical
wireway. Each 90 in. (2286 mm) vertical section can accommodate up
to 6.0 space factors or 78 in. (1981 mm) for units.
Units (buckets) are designed in increments of 0.5 space factors. Each
0.5 space factor is approximately 6.5 in. (165.1 mm) high. Units are
designed as either removable (plug-in) or frame-mounted
(non-plug-in).
Individual units house a wide variety of power and logic devices.
Plug-in units are mounted on unit support pans within the section.
Stab assemblies located on the back of the unit plug onto the vertical
bus. A mechanical interlock prevents the unit door from being opened
when the disconnect is not in the OFF position. An additional
mechanical interlock prevents the unit from being plugged-in or
unplugged when the disconnect is not in the OFF position.
Line power is distributed throughout the MCC via an isolated bus
work structure. The main horizontal bus is located in the center of
each section. Standard, center-fed, 300 A rated vertical bus supplies
power to the individual units above and below the horizontal bus for
an effective 600 A capacity, allowing virtually unrestricted unit
arrangement. An optional 600 A vertical bus provides 1200 A effective
rating.
11Publication 2100-IN012C-EN-P - April 2009 11
Chapter 1 General Information
The CENTERLINE MCC is also available with ArcShield. ArcShield
includes arc resistant features which are intended to help provide
enhanced protection to you during internal arcing faults (when
compared to MCCs which are only designed to meet UL 845
requirements). Arcing faults can be caused, for example, by accidental
touching, closing into faulted lines, or loose connections. Depending
on the application, ArcShield can provide up to Type 2 accessibility
per IEEE standard C37.20.7, which helps protect you when you are
located at the front, sides, and rear of the enclosure in the unlikely
event of an arcing fault.
A label on the MCC with ArcShield provides information in regard to
the accessibility level and arc fault ratings.
For more information about accessibility levels, performance, and
testing requirements, refer to IEEE standard C37.20.7, IEEE Guide for
Testing Metal-Enclosed Switchgear Rated up to 38 kV for Internal
Arcing Faults.
ArcShield provides a reinforced MCC structure and arc-containment
latches on all doors. To help protect you during an arc-fault,
arc-containment latches, when closed and latched properly, allow
pressure relief and help keep the doors from unlatching or detaching
from the structure.

Chapter 1 General Information
MCC Sequence Numbering
Identifies Vertical Section
Sequence Numbering
CENTERLINE MCCs are designed so functionality is not affected by the
section installation order, for example, vertical section-numbering
sequence order.
All MCC sections carry a serial plate, which identifies vertical section
sequence numbering. For example, MCC section 1 of 1, 1 of 5, and so
on.
Section Nameplate
Sections are numbered to match factory-supplied MCC elevation
drawings. Numbering each section helps installers and users easily
identify MCCs, sections, and units. If there are questions about section
numbering during field installation, inspection, or operation, the
following information can provide guidance on equipment
acceptability, listing, and certification.
CENTERLINE MCC sections can be installed or added as follows:
• In non-sequential order
• Addition of a single section (add-on section)
• Addition of multiple sections (add-on lineup of sections)
• Addition of single section or multiple section between MCC
sections
If sections are added to an existing lineup and not installed in
sequential order, the installation should not be considered a
misapplication or in conflict with Underwriter Laboratories (UL) listing
and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification.
The paramount criteria for additions of sections to existing MCCs is
matching the horizontal bus electrical and ingress protection
(enclosure type) ratings for the total MCC line up. For example, the
voltage, current rating, short circuit withstand, and NEMA enclosure
type (IP rating) for all sections must match.
14 Publication 2100-IN012C-EN-P - April 2009
General Information Chapter 1
Non-sequential numbering may not create a functional or
listing/certification issue. However, MCCs should be installed in
sequential order. Installing MCCs in sequential order helps ensure
proper installation and ensures that factory-supplied documentation
matches the equipment.
You can rearrange MCC sections. However, if a section that uses a
right-hand side sheet with integral, internal mounting flanges is
located on the outside of a lineup, an additional closing kit plate is
required. Refer to CENTERLINE 2100 Motor Control Center End
Closing Plates Installation Instructions, publication 2100-IN069
that contain contain arc resistant features cannot use a section with
integral mounting flanges on the outside of a lineup.
. MCCs
UL/CSA Marking
CENTERLINE MCCs are listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. (UL),
Standard for Safety UL 845, and certified by the Canadian Standards
Associate (CSA), Standard C22-2, No. 14.
Due to standards harmonization, a MCC may also carry the cUL
designation. cUL is comparable to CSA certification.
Vertical sections and units are labeled independently. It is possible to
have combinations of labeled and non-labeled sections and units in
the same MCC.
Vertical sections and structure options that are UL listed and CSA/cUL
certified are marked accordingly. All components in a UL or CSA listed
section must be UL listed and cUL/CSA certified. The UL and/or
CSA/cUL designation is an integral part of the section nameplate as
shown on page 14
Units and unit options that are UL listed and CSA/cUL certified are
marked accordingly. All options and components in a UL and/or
cUL/CSA listed unit must be UL listed or recognized and/or cUL/CSA
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.

Chapter 1 General Information
Short-circuit Rating Label
MCC vertical sections that are UL listed and/or CSA/cUL 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 a section
that contains a unit that occupies the full section and does not contain
a vertical wireway.
Short Circuit Label for Sections
MCC units that are UL listed and/or CSA/cUL certified will carry a
short-circuit rating label located on the bottom plate of plug-in units
or on interior right-hand side plate of frame mounted units.

Chapter 1 General Information
Receiving, Handling and Storage
Refer to the following sections for information on receiving, handling,
and storage of MCC units.
Receiving
As standard, CENTERLINE MCCs are shipped upright in shipping
blocks of one to three front-mounted sections or two to six
back-to-back sections. Each shipping block of an MCC is provided
with a lifting angle. The lifting angle is optional on NEMA Type 3R
and Type 4 MCCs. Each vertical section in a shipping block is bolted
to the shipping skid and covered with clear plastic wrap. Equipment
that extends from the structures is also protected. Protection is for
upright shipping and is not waterproof or watertight. If necessary,
other types of packaging are available.
Refer to publication 2100-IN040
instructions. This publication is shipped with each MCC, attached to
the outside of the MCC within the layer of clear plastic wrap. For
additional information about the handling, installation, operation and
maintenance of MCCs rated more then not 600V, consult NEMA ICS
2.3-1995.
for receiving, handling, and storage
Export Packaging
A maximum of three vertical sections standing upright can be shipped
with export packaging together in one block. The MCC is bolted to a
skid and wrapped in poly wrap suitable for occasional water-spray; a
wooden frame and chipboard surround the sections. Export
packaging is not watertight, waterproof or intended for long-term
storage. Extended storage may require space heaters and other
considerations. Export packing adds extra weight and dimensions to
the shipping block.

Handling
Lifting with a forklift, overhead lifting, sling lifting, and pipe or rod
rolling are methods that can be used to handle vertical sections. See
the following tables for typical weights and dimensions for standard
20 in. (508 mm) wide and 15 in. (381 mm) or 20 in. (508 mm) deep

ATTENTION
MCCs are top and front heavy. To avoid personal injury or
structural damage, never attempt to lift or move the MCC by
any means other than the methods outlined in Receiving,
Handling and Storing Motor Control Centers, publication
2100-IN040
.
Storage and Operation
CENTERLINE MCCs conform to NEMA standard ICS 1-2000 for service
and storage conditions. All MCCs should operate in an ambient
temperature above 0
95% non-condensing humidity. If the equipment is stored, the ambient
temperature should remain above -30
o
(149
F). In addition, MCCs have an altitude class of 2 km (1 km for
MCCs that contain variable frequency drives). The altitude class of 2
km designates equipment for installation where the altitude does not
exceed 2000 m (6600 ft). For installation above 2000 m (6600 ft),
contact Rockwell Automation LV MCC Technical Support at
1.440.646.5800 and follow the prompts to Allen-Bradley>Low Voltage
Motor Control Centers>Post Shipment Support.

Location Planning
Height Considerations
When planning the location for your CENTERLINE MCC, consider the
following:
• Conduits
• Busways
• Overall height of installation area
• Alignment with other equipment
• Future needs
• Ambient temperature
The area must be level and the environment must be compatible with
the NEMA enclosure rating of the equipment
Documentation packages shipped with assembled MCCs include an
MCC elevation drawing and an MCC floor plan layout.
If the MCC is equipped with optional external mounting channels or is
mounted on a pad, the height from the floor to the center of the top
handles must be checked for compliance with NFPA 70 National
Electrical Code (NEC) Article 404.8 and UL Standard 845. If the
distance from the floor to the center of the highest handle is greater
then 6.7 ft (2042.16 mm) a unit operating handle extender should be
added (catalog number 2100H-NE1).

Chapter 2 Installation Procedures
Securing an MCC
Anchor bolts [1/2 in. (13 mm)] may be pre-located and embedded in
the foundation prior to installation. Two bolts per vertical section
fasten the MCC through its internal mounting angle to the foundation
[corner sections require three bolts and 40 in. (1016 mm) wide
sections require four bolts]. See the following illustrations and tables
for general dimensions. Dimensions matching your equipment can be
found on the elevation drawings shipped with your MCC.
