General Information

General Description CENTERLINE® Motor Control Centers consist of one or more vertical sections containing electromagnetic and/or solid state condevices that are prewired and tested within modular plug-in or frame mounted (hard-wired) units.

Line power is distributed throughout the motor control center throuan isolated bus work structure. The main horizontal bus is locatedthe center of the section. The center-fed 300 ampere rated verticasupplies power to the individual units above and below the horizonbus for an effective 600 ampere capacity, allowing virtually unrestricted unit arrangement.

The 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 on the back of the unit plug onto the vertical bus.Mechanical interlocks prevent unit doors from being opened whileunits are energized.

Nameplate Data Each vertical section has a nameplate located on the vertical wiredoor. On special width sections, the nameplate is located on the section door. See Figure 1.1. Information on nameplates include:

• catalog number / serial number

• series letter of the section

• maximum bus bar voltage and current rating

• section location number

Each individual plug-in and frame mounted unit also has an identification nameplate. The unit nameplate is located on the inteof the bottom plate of plug-in units or on the interior right hand sidplate of the frame mounted units. See Figure 1.2. The unit namepfor each plug-in or frame mounted unit includes:

• catalog number / serial number

• series letter of the unit

• device size

• all maximum ratings

Figure 1.2 Unit Nameplate

UL / CSA Marking CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. (UL), Standard for Safety UL 845and certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), StandC22–2, No. 14.

Due to standards harmonization, a motor control center may alsocarry the ULc designation. ULc is comparable to CSA certification.

All vertical sections and units listed with UL will carry the UL labelAll vertical sections and units certified to CSA standards will carrythe CSA or ULc mark. Vertical sections and units are labeled

independently. Therefore, it is possible to have combinations of labeled and non-labeled sections and units in the same motor concenter.

Vertical sections and structure options that are UL listed and CSA/ULc certified are marked accordingly. For a section to carry tUL and/or CSA/ULc designation, all of its components must be UL

listed and/or CSA/ULc certified. The UL and/or CSA/ULc designation is an integral part of the section nameplate. See Figure 1.1.

When communicating with Allen-Bradley about a particular motorcontrol center or motor control center unit, the catalog number orserial number and series letter are required to properly identify thequipment.

Receiving, Handling, and

Storage

CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers are shipped upright in shipping blocks of one to three front-mounted sections or two to six back-to-back sections as standard. All motor control centers (MCCare mechanically and electrically tested before shipment. Each MCC is provided with a lifting device for handling convenience (lifting device is optional on NEMA Type 3R). The motor control center isbolted to the shipping skid and further packaged to protect it durinupright shipments.

(Refer to Publication 2100–5.5 for receiving, handling, and storaginstructions. This publication is shipped with each MCC, attachedthe outside of the MCC within a layer of clear plastic wrap. For additional information, consult NEMA ICS 2.3.)

!

ATTENTION:Motor control centers are top heavy and front heavy. Tavoid personal injury or structural damage to the motcontrol center, never attempt to lift or to move the motocontrol center by any means other than the methods outlined in Publication 2100–5.5, Receiving, Handling, and Storing Motor Control Centers.

Installation Procedures

Location Planning When planning the location for your CENTERLINE Motor Control Center, take the following items into consideration:

• conduits

• busways

• overall height

• alignment with other equipment

• future needs

In addition, the area must be level and the environment must be compatible with the NEMA enclosure rating of the equipment.

Mounting Considerations If the motor control center is equipped with optional external mounting channels or is mounted on a pad, the height to the center othe top handles must be checked for compliance with NEC 380–8and UL Standard 845. If handles are higher than 6´7″ (2000mm), then Unit Operating Handle Extender should be added to these handle(catalog number 2100–NE1).

Securing a

Motor Control Center

Anchor bolts (1/2″(13mm)) may be pre-located and embedded in thMCC foundation prior to installation. Two bolts per vertical sectionfasten the motor control center through its internal mounting anglethe foundation (corner sections require three (3) bolts and 40-inchwide sections require four (4) bolts). See Figures 2.1 through 2.6.

Conduit and Cable Installation

Conduit � Installing When installing conduit, make sure it is installed so that water andmoisture can not enter or accumulate in the MCC enclosure. Condmust be installed so that they are compatible with the NEMA ratinof the MCC. The conduit should be placed away from the horizonground bus to avoid physical damage. It is recommended that theconduit be positioned so as to minimize cable bending and maintarelative vertical alignment to incoming bus pads and terminals of main fusible disconnects or main circuit breakers.

Bottom Entry Conduit

Prepare the installation site so that the foundation is level. BeforeMCC is installed, place and stub up conduit approximately 2íí (51mm) above floor level. Make sure that all incoming conduit is clear of the horizontal ground bus.

1. For approximate section base dimensions and ground bus locations, refer to Chapter 2, Installation Procedures, Figures 2.1 through 2.6.

2. For approximate bottom entry locations and wiring schemes fomain fusible disconnects, main circuit breakers, and incomingline compartments, refer to Publication 2100–4.2, Mains and Incoming Lines Dimension Reference.

Top Entry Conduit

After the MCC is in place, is leveled, and the sections are joined aspliced, bring conduit into the top of the incoming section.

1. Remove the lifting angle and top plate. Modify the top plate fothe necessary conduit entries. (This method helps guard agaimetal chips falling into the MCC, which can cause serious damage.)

2. Replace the top plate and lifting angle bolts. (This guards agadust or dirt entering the top horizontal wireway.

3. Make sure that all incoming conduit is clear of the horizontal ground bus.

4. For approximate location of the horizontal ground bus mountein the top horizontal wireway, refer to Publication 2100–4.2, Mains and Incoming Lines Dimension Reference.

Installing Cable Install cable when the temperature is above freezing (32°F or 0°C(unless cable is suitable for installation at temperatures below freezing). This will help prevent cable insulation from cracking or splitting.

Motor control centers are rated for use with 75°C cable for currenratings above 100 amperes. Cable must be sized using 75°C coluin NEC Table 310–16. The actual temperature rating of the lugs uis not relevant.

Incoming Line Compartment

Top or bottom entry to the incoming line section bus is straight through to the connection terminals. The vertical bus provides padfor the incoming lugs. The lug selection should be based on the snumber, and type of conductor.

1. Use mechanical screw type lugs when the incoming lines available short circuit current is under 42,000 amperes RMS symmetrical.

2. Use crimp type or compression type lugs when the incoming linavailable short circuit current is above 42,000 amperes RMS symmetrical.

Main Fusible Disconnect and Main Circuit Breaker

Top entry is straight through to the line side of the main fusible disconnect and main circuit breaker. However, for bottom entry, thconnection scheme varies depending on the rating of the main devIn some cases, the bottom entry goes to the top or line side of themain fusible disconnect or main circuit breaker. In other cases, thbottom entry would go straight through to the bottom of the main fusible disconnect or main circuit breaker. This is referred to as “reverse fed.”

Mechanical screw type lugs are supplied as standard with all mainfusible disconnects or main circuit breakers. Crimp type or compression type lugs are also available.

Cable Bracing

The CENTERLINE MCC bus work system has been tested and isqualified to withstand maximum short circuit forces exceeding the short circuit withstand ratings for the MCC. Incoming line cables andoutgoing feeder cables also need to be supported to withstand the same short circuit forces.

There are many sizes and types of cables, as well as different meby which the cables can be supported. Acceptable methods are shbelow in Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.

In Figure 3.1, glass fiber reinforced tape or glass filament tape is used. The taping should be continuous from the point the cables ethe MCC to the point the cables are terminated. It is important thacables are wrapped several times for additional strength. Cable slshould be drawn up during wrapping so that individual cables are supported together by the tape as a single mass.

18. Conduct an electrical insulation resistance test to make sure tthe motor control center and field wiring are free from short circuits and grounds. Conduct this test using an insulation resistance tester (megger) with a potential of 500–1000 volts.

This test should be conducted phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral in the motor control center. This test should bconducted with all of the switches or circuit breakers opened othe OFF/O position.

Electrical Insulation Resistance Test

• Typical insulation resistance values are 50 megaohms or greater.

• Next, check the field wiring. For example, motor cables and/or incoming line cables.

• Note that the insulation resistance values are affected by humidity or dampness that may cause a considerably loweinsulation resistance reading. If this is the case and the instion resistance values are below 1 megaohm, or the motorcontrol center has been stored in a damp or humid area, itrecommended that the equipment be dried out.

• Dry out the motor cables by injecting a low voltage current

• Use space heaters to dry out the motor control center.

• When the equipment is dry, repeat the insulation resistanctest. The minimum value for insulation resistance on a newinstallation at start-up or energizing is 1 megaohm.

19. Make sure that all latches are secure. Close and latch all doormaking certain that no wires are pinched. Turn all unit disconnects or circuit breakers to the open or OFF/O position before energizing the motor control center.

!ATTENTION:Equipment that is sensitive to high test voltages such ameters, solid state devices, and capacitor units, shoube isolated.

Maintenance

A periodic maintenance program should be established for your motor control center to avoid unnecessary downtime due to negleHow frequently you service your MCC will depend upon the equipment usage and the environment in which it operates. The following is a suggested checklist.

Maintenance Checklist

1. Inspect the motor control center at least once per year.

2. Carefully inspect doors and enclosure sides for evidence of excessive heat. Generally, any temperature during operation tthe palm of your hand can not stand for approximately 3 secomay indicate a problem.

3. Check for moisture or any signs of dampness or drippings insthe motor control center. Condensation in conduit or dripping from an outside source is a common cause of motor control centerfailure. Eliminate any source of moisture. Seal off conduit, cracks, and openings that have allowed and/or could allow moisture to enter the MCC enclosure. Dry or replace and cleainsulating material that is damp or wet or shows signs of moisture. Check devices such as contactors, circuit breakers,disconnect switches, relays, pushbuttons, etc., for wetness or signs of moisture, corrosion, or contamination. Replace damaor malfunctioning parts. Make sure that the source or cause of wetness or contamination is identified and eliminated.

4. Check the integrity of bus splice connections. Bus splices caneasily identified by the label located on the interior of the verticwireway door or on the interior right hand side plate of frame mounted units. Recommended torque values can be found oninformation label located on the interior of the vertical wirewaydoor or on the interior right-hand side plate of frame mounted units, and in Chapter 2, Installation Procedures – Bus Torque Specifications or in Publication 2100–5.0.1, CENTERLINE Motor Control Centers Start-Up Procedure.

!ATTENTION:

De-energize motor control center before servicing.

NOTE: The factory-made power connections are tightened bycomputer-controlled torquing system. The following connectioshould never require re-torquing: Vertical to horizontal bus connections, power conductor to horizontal bus connections. These factory-made power bus connections do not require servicing for the life of the motor control center.

5. Air filters for fans should be periodically cleaned or changed, depending on the environmental conditions.

6. Check for proper function and freedom of movement (no stickior binding) of the disconnect handle operating mechanisms antheir defeater mechanisms. Replace broken, deformed, malfunctioning, or badly worn parts or assemblies.

7. Inspect bus stab connections for wear or corrosion. Wear andcorrosion can cause increased resistance causing an increasetemperature of the contact point which can lead to failure. Replace bus stabs if wear or corrosion is excessive. Lubricate

stabs with NO–OX–ID® grease (catalog number 2100H–N18 or 2100H–N18T) before replacing the unit into the section.

8. Inspect current carrying parts such as fuse clips, knife blades disconnects, and line and load terminals of devices for discoloration, corrosion or other signs of abnormalities.

9. Check locking or interlocking devices for proper working condition and capability of performing their intended functions. Adjust, repair, or replace any device if necessary.

10. Check contacts for excessive wear and dirt accumulation. Vacuum or wipe contacts with a soft cloth to remove dirt. Contacts are not harmed by discoloration and/or slight pitting.Contacts should never be filed, as this would reduce the life of the contacts. Contact spray cleaners should not be used, as they csticking on magnetic pole faces or in operating mechanisms, interfering with the electrical continuity of the contacts. Contacts should be replaced only after the silver has become badly worAlways replace contacts in complete sets to avoid misalignmeand uneven contact pressure.

11. Check for loose connections on power and control circuit terminals. Loose connections can cause overheating or hot spthat could lead to equipment malfunction or failure. Replace adamaged parts or wiring.

Contact Lubrication

The disconnect switches used within the MCC units are supplied wproper contact lubrication, and under normal operating conditionsshould not require further lubrication. However, if a switch that is used frequently becomes difficult to operate or is located in a highcorrosive or caustic environment, it may require lubrication.

The lubricant to be used is NO–OX–ID® Compound (catalog number 2100H–N18 for a 1 pint can or 2100H–N18T for a 1 ounce tube.) obtain the lubricant, contact your local Allen-Bradley sales office, distributor, or Packaged Control Products at Allen-Bradley, Company, Inc.

!ATTENTION: To prevent injury or death to personnellubricating disconnect switch contacts, make sure thathe motor control center remove power source(s) is disconnected and the respective disconnect(s) is lockin the OFF/O position. In the case of a plug-in unit, remove the unit from the motor control center.

ATTENTION: To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, make sure that the unit handle operatorin the OFF/O position before removing the unit.

Instructions

1. For Plug-In ConstructionIf disconnect switch needing lubrication is housed in a plug-in unit, remove the plug-in unit from the motor control center. (For removal of unit, refer to Chapter 4, Unit Removal and Installation.)For Frame Mounted Construction:If disconnect switch needing lubrication is housed in a frame mounted unit, turn off the power source(s) to the motor controcenter.

2. Remove the line guard cover and retain.

3. Remove and retain the arc hood. This allows access to the disconnect’s stationary contacts.

4. Generously apply the compound (sufficient enough to cover wa noticeable film) to both sides of the movable contact blades ato the adjacent insides of the stationary contacts.

5. Re-install the arc hood that was removed in Step 3.

6. Re-install the line guard cover that was removed in Step 2.

7. If the lubricated disconnect switch is housed in a plug-in unit, reinstall the unit. (For installation of unit, refer to Publication 2100–5.12, Installing Units with Vertical Operating Handles).

NOTE: If the reasons for lubrication are due to corrosion (for example, a sulfur environment), replacing the unit disconnect mayrequired to avoid overheating conditions. Lubrication may reduce problem short term; however, replacing the disconnect switch woube the correct and long term solution.

!ATTENTION: To prevent injury or death to personnellubricating disconnect switch contacts, make sure thathe motor control center remote power sources (s) is disconnected and the respective disconnects(s) is lockin the OFF/O position.

Maintenance After Fault

Condition

The opening of the short circuit protective device (such as fuses ocircuit breakers) in a properly coordinated motor branch circuit is indication of a fault condition in excess of operating overload. Thisfault condition must be corrected. Such a condition can cause damageto control equipment. When a fault occurs, de-energize the motorcontrol center, repair the cause of the fault, and inspect all equipmthoroughly per NEMA Standards Publication No. ICS 2.2–1983 PaICS 2–302 Maintenance of Motor Controllers After A Fault Condition. Make necessary repairs or replacements prior to re-energizing the equipment. Be sure that replacements are of prorating and are suitable for the application.

In certain cases, it may be necessary to conduct an electrical insulation resistance test (megger). For procedure, refer to Chapter 6Final Checklist Before Energizing.

!ATTENTION: Disconnect all power sources to the motor control center before diagnosing the cause of thfault condition.

Renewal Parts

A Renewal Parts Stocking Program for your motor control center recommended in conjunction with a maintenance program. This isimportant for minimizing expensive downtime and when repair is critical.

Factors to consider when developing an effective Renewal Parts Stocking Program:

1. The frequency of “ON–OFF” cycling and the amount of “ON” ooperating time.

2. The need for continuous operation, inherent design limitationsenvironmental considerations, etc.

3. The total number of “like” devices supplied as original equipmewithin the motor control center.

4. The individual user policies governing spare parts.

Consideration should also be given to stocking complete units whthe job site is in an area remote from a distributor or district sales office or when it is critical to maintain continuous operation of a system.

Order Information The following information is required when ordering renewal parts

• description of part or unit

• series letter

• part or catalog number

• quantity

• shipping address

• motor control center serial number and complete nameplate d

Refer to Chapter 11, Parts Illustration, for pictures and descriptions ocommon section and unit parts.
