Upon delivery, use the packing list to confirm the number of items
against what was received to ensure that the shipment is complete.
Any discrepancies should be noted on the freight bill before signing. Lifting means
Report any shortages or damage to the freight carrier immediately.
Immediately upon receipt of the switchboard, the plastic covering
should be carefully removed and a thorough inspection of each
section should be made to detect any damage incurred during
shipment. Any damage should be noted on the bill of lading (freight
bill) and the consignee receiving the equipment should notify
the freight carrier. FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE FREIGHT CARRIER

REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
After inspection, it is recommended that a plastic covering be used
to protect the equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, and damage until
ready for installation.
The switchboard should remain attached to its shipping skid until it
has been moved into its final installation position. Figure 1. Typical indoor lifting means
Handling
WARNING Lifting means

SWITCHBOARD IS TOP-HEAVY. USE CARE IN HANDLING.
Switchboards are top-heavy. Switchboard sections may weigh

more than 2000 pounds. Before moving or lifting, verify that the
equipment used to handle the switchboard is within safe limits of
its lifting capacity.
Switchboard shipping lengths will vary. Each shipping section is
bolted with lag bolts to heavy wooden skids that extend beyond all
sides of the switchboard.
Figure 2. Typical outdoor lifting means
DO NOT pass cables or chains through the holes in the lifting

means. Use cables or chains with hooks or shackles rated for the
load and weight of the switchboard shipping length to be lifted.
Prepare a sling and a spanner or spreader (see Figure 3 and
Figure 4). Eaton does not provide chain, cables, shackles, hooks,
spanner, or spreader.
EATON www.eaton.com 3
Effective May 2021

Chains/cables must be securely attached to hooks, eyes, and shackles,
and the spanner/spreader. Prior to lifting, check the security of the
rigging assembly. Use the crane to bring the assembly taut without
raising the switchboard from the floor.
Check the security of the rigging again. Make any necessary
adjustments before moving the equipment.
Slowly lift equipment to the minimum height from the floor required
to safely relocate it. Move the equipment to approximately 2 inches
above its resting place. Safely make a visual inspection of the
rigging. If necessary, return the switchboard to its original resting
place to make any modifications necessary to the rigging.
Forklifts
Spreader bar A forklift may be used for handling switchboards. Only personnel
trained for that equipment should operate forklifts.
Be sure that the ground surface is solid, and follow all safety
recommendations for operating the forklift. Be aware of wet
or slick floors and surfaces that can affect stopping and turning.
Check labeling on the switchboard packaging material for
additional information.
Verify that the forklift load and lifting ratings are within safe limits
for the weight of the switchboard being lifted.
Do not lift switchboard from the front. Damage to components,
such as breakers, fusible switches, and metering, can result.

embedded in a concrete floor or by using anchors designed for
this purpose.
Conduits, floor, and/or wall openings, such as busway or other
penetrations, should be located relative to the space shown on
the manufacturer’s drawings.
Refer to the NEC for installations in damp locations for
additional requirements.
The entire area around the switchboard should be thoroughly
cleaned of all debris.
Effective May 2021

Considerations for seismic
qualified installations
Switchboards that are “seismic qualified” require additional
considerations. Because electrical equipment is installed as part of
a system, pre-engineering layouts are critical in seismic applications.
When Eaton switchboards are marked as “seismic qualified,”
anchoring the switchboard is critical. Experienced engineers in
seismic requirements should select methods and techniques of 1 2
attachment and tested anchoring systems. Embedded concrete 3 4
anchors or steel attachments must be adequate to resist the forces 5 6
established by the local building code. Bolts of the proper grade of 7 8
steel must be correctly sized and torqued. The embedded anchors 9 10
must be correctly installed in accordance with the method specified 11
by the anchor manufacturer. Refer to seismic instructions in 12
TD01508002E provided by Eaton for more information.

Use caution and appropriate equipment and practices when moving
switchboard into its final position. Note: Switchboard A has a shipping split between sections 1 and 2. This is
depicted by “*” within the circle between sections.
CAUTION
Determine the switchboard orientation with the use of

manufacturer’s drawings and markings on the switchboard sections.
Switchboards may be shipped either in individual sections or in
two or more sections joined by the manufacturer (see Figure 7

as shown on the drawings, must be maintained (see Figure 10
and Figure 11).
Exercise caution while maneuvering top-heavy switchboard sections
into place. Switchboard sections must always remain in the upright
position during installation. Use care when moving the switchboard
so as not to damage the section, including the structural base and
frame. Some switchboards house sensitive components that can be
damaged by rough handling.
Prior to moving the switchboard sections into their permanent
position, make note of all obstacles including conduit stubs.
Implement a plan for safe transition and appropriate means to
Switchboard front view accommodate these obstructions. Take note of conduits entering
through the bottom of the switchboard, the rear of the switchboard,
and at the top of the switchboard to ensure appropriate clearances
Figure 10. Example of front- and rear-aligned switchboard from chassis, structure, cross bus, ground, neutral, and components.
Provide space for a minimum 1/2-inch clearance from the back of
the switchboard and any wall for front-accessible switchboards
installed indoors.
Refer to the NEC for required switchboard clearances.
When unpacking the switchboard, exercise care not to scratch or
mar the finish. Repair all scratches with touch-up paint, which is
available from Eaton. Remove shipping skids and all packaging
material. Remove any temporary shipping braces or spacers.
Remove lifting angles and associated hardware. Plug lifting angle

Retain roof cap(s) and associated hardware for reinstallation.
Keep roof caps and associated hardware in a clean and protected
environment to guard against damage while awaiting reinstallation.
There are two roof designs for outdoor switchboards: the flat roof
design and the sloped roof design.
The standard outdoor switchboard uses a flat roof design, which
does not require any sealant when the intermediate roof cap is
correctly installed in the field.
The optional sloped roof outdoor design also uses an intermediate
roof cap design. When a break occurs between sections for shipping

Attaching switchboard sections
The manufacturer has provided hardware with the equipment to join
switchboard sections. The hardware includes 3/8 x 1 inch carriage
bolts and 3/8 inch hex nuts with captive Belleville-type washer
(see Figure 13).
Holes are provided on the side of each switchboard section for this
purpose. Three holes are located on the side of each section toward
the front and back. Switchboards with deep designs, including rear-
connected switchboards, may have an additional three holes for
attachment on the center vertical section support (see Figure 14).

Electrical connection of
switchboard sections
Several methods may be used to make electrical connections
within switchboards. More than one of these methods may be
used in a section and/or switchboard lineup. These include bus splice Spacer
plates, factory-installed cable, and busway connections. Consult the
manufacturer’s drawings for details for each switchboard section.
Remove structure deadfront covers and side sheets as needed
to access switchboard chassis and components. Retain all cover
mounting hardware and covers for reassembly. Protect hardware
and parts from moisture, debris, and damage.
Splice plates
Splice plates are short pieces of bus bar that join the main
bus running horizontally through multiple section switchboards.
Depending on the configuration and alignment of the switchboard,
the splice plates used for the main cross bus may vary. These plates
may either be flat or “Z” shaped (see Figure 16 and Figure 17).
Figure 17. Spacer and level (no more than ±0.125 inches per
every 3 feet) foundation
Splice plates are used to attach the main horizontal bus between
switchboard sections or shipping splits. While maintaining the
correct phase orientation and sequence, install splice plates with the
carriage bolts and hex nuts with captive Belleville washers supplied
by the manufacturer. Refer to Appendix A, Table 2 for torque values.
Carriage bolts must align with the corresponding rectangular holes
in the fixed horizontal bus and the splice plates. If multiple splice
plates are used, install in the same sequence as shipped from the
manufacturer. The neutral (when furnished) and ground bus should
be connected in the same manner.
Inspect splices plates and main fixed horizontal bus prior to
installation. If there is any suspected damage, contact the
manufacturer immediately for replacements. NEVER ENERGIZE
