1.0 General
1.1 Summary
This specification, together with the associated panel schedule data sheets, covers the manufacturing
and fabrication requirements for furnishing low voltage (rated up to 600 V) AC or DC panelboards. The
panelboards may be installed in either unclassified or classified areas of Class I, Division I, Group 2, as
defined by NFPA 70, National Electric Code (NEC). The panelboard data sheet must identify the proper
area of classification for specific panelboards purchased.
Owner will supply external cable and conduit and receive, unload, store, and install panelboards.
No revisions and/or addendums shall be made to this specification without the review and approval of the
SME of this specification or their approved designee.
All interpretations of this specification shall be addressed by the SME of this specification or their
approved designee.

2.1 Manufacturers
The following are acceptable Manufacturers:
1. Eaton/Cutler-Hammer
2. Schneider/Square D
3. Siemens
4. ABB/General Electric
5.
2.2 Requirements
1. Design the panelboards in accordance with the requirements of NEMA PB 1 to operate on 125 VDC,
2 wire; 120/240 VAC, single phase, 3 wire; 120/208Y VAC, 3 phase, 4 wire; or 277/480Y VAC, 3
phase, 4 wire system. Not the enclosure type for the panelboard on the panelboard schedules and
associated drawings as specified on the requisition.
2. The 125 VDC panelboards must be able to operate on a DC system with a nominal rating of 125 V
but must be able to operate at voltages up to 140 VDC.
3. Furnish panelboards of the factory-assembled type with molded-case circuit breakers. The
panelboards must be tested, verified by, and listed with an NRTL. Molded-case circuit breakers must
comply with NEMA AB 1.
4. Design panelboards for service equipment with main bonding jumper for connecting the grounded
service conductor to the panelboard frame. Identify all panelboards used as service equipment by
NRTL.
2.3 Components
2.3.1 Enclosures
1. The panelboards must be of the dead-front type for mounting against a wall. The panelboards must
not require access from the back and must meet the requirements of the NEC, NEMA 250, and
comply with UL 50 and UL 891.
2. Bus bars must be copper and extend the full length of the panelboard. Short circuit bracing of the bus
bars must match the interrupting rating of the main breaker. Provide an individual terminal for the
connections of each line and branch circuit neutral conductor (neutral bar).
3. Provide solderless type copper or copper allow lugs approved for copper conductors for incoming
feeder conductors. Terminations for branch circuit conductors must also be suitable for copper
conductors. Provide lugs meeting the requirements of UL 67 to prevent them from turning or
