SECTION 1
INSTALLATION
Supporting Foundation
The supporting foundation for the enclosure must level
and straight. Refer to the applicable enclosure outline
drawing included with the ATS for all mounting details
including door opening space.
If bottom cable entry is used, the foundation must be
prepared so that the conduit stubs are located
correctly. Refer to the enclosure outline drawing for
specified area and location. Provide cable bending
space and clearance to live metal parts. When a
concrete floor is poured, use interlocking conduit
spacer caps or a wood or metal template to maintain
proper conduit alignment.
Mounting
Refer to the outline and mounting diagram provided with
the ATS; it shows all mounting details and instructions.
Three cable spacers are included with 150, 200, & 230
amp transfer switches. When installing power cables,
run the cables through the cable spacers as shown in
Figure 1-1. Position the cable spacers within 1 inches
from the lugs.
