28、proper installation, operation, and maintenance of panelboards rated 600 volts or less. These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment, nor to provide for every possible contingency regarding installation, operation, or maintenance. It is recommended that work desc

29、ribed in this set of instructions be performed only by qualified personnel familiar with the construction and operation of panelboards and that such work be performed only after reading this complete set of instructions. For specific information not covered by these instructions, you are urged to co

30、ntact the manufacturer of the panelboard directly. In the preparation of this standards publication input of users and other interested parties has been sought and evaluated. Inquiries, comments, and proposed or recommended revisions should be submitted to the concerned NEMA product section by conta

31、cting the following: These recommendations will be reviewed periodically and updated as necessary. Senior Technical Director, Operations National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 900 Rosslyn, Virginia 22209 Publication PB 1.1- 2013 revises and supersedes PB 1.1-2007

32、. This standards publication was developed by the Panelboard and Distribution Board Product Group of the LVDE Section. Product Group approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all Product Group members voted for its approval or participated in its development. At the time it was approv

33、ed, the Product Group was composed of the following members: Eaton Corporation.Pittsburgh, PA GE Industrial SolutionsPlainville, CT Hubbell, Inc.Orange, CT Milbank Manufacturing CompanyKansas City, MO Penn Panel allow a space of 3 feet between the ceiling and cabinet unless an adequate fireproof shi

34、eld is provided. 4.8 SPACE AROUND THE CABINET When selecting a location, provide sufficient access and working space around the cabinet (see Section 110.26 of the National Electrical Code). The width of the working space in front of the panelboard should be at least 30 inches, or the width of the ca

35、binet, whichever is greater, and this space should not be used as storage. The working space should have adequate lighting and a minimum head room of 6 feet 6 inches. 4.9 MOUNTING OF CABINET The cabinet should be reliably secured to the mounting surface. Do not depend on wooden plugs driven into hol

36、es in masonry, concrete, plaster, or similar materials. (See Section 110.13 of the National Electrical Code.) PB 1.1-2013 Page 6 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 4.10 FLUSH MOUNTING IN WALL In walls of concrete, tile, or other noncombustible material, install the cabinet so that it

37、s front edge will not set back more than 1/4 inch from the finished surface. In walls of wood or other combustible material, cabinets should be flush with or project beyond the finished surface. (See Section 312.3 of the National Electrical Code.) 4.11 UNUSED OPENINGS IN CABINET Effectively close un

38、used openings in the cabinet to provide protection which is substantially equivalent to that afforded by the wall of the cabinet. 4.12 GROUNDING OF PANELBOARD CABINETS Ground the cabinet as specified in Article 250 of the National Electrical Code. When the cabinet contains service equipment, it is n

39、ecessary to bond the cabinet to the grounded (neutral) service conductor. PB 1.1-2013 Page 7 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Section 5 INSTALLATION OF CONDUIT AND CONDUCTORS 5.1 CONDUITS INSTALLATION Conduits should be installed so as to prevent moisture or water from entering and

40、 accumulating within the enclosure. Provision should be made to protect conductors from abrasion in accordance with Article 312 of the National Electrical Code. 5.2 KNOCKOUTS REMOVAL Knockouts should be removed as follows: IMPORTANTRemove knockouts, ONE AT A TIME, alternating INWARD and OUTWARD. 5.2

41、.1 First StepRemove Center Knockout Remove center knockout INWARD. 5.2.1.1 Screwdriver Blade Place screwdriver blade against point farthest from tie and strike INWARD (Figure 1). Bend back and forth to break tie. 5.2.2 Next StepRemove Rings Remove rings ONE AT A TIME without straining remaining ring

42、s. 5.2.2.1 Pry First Ring Pry first ring OUTWARD with screwdriver midway between ties, using pliers flat against box under screwdriver (Figure 2). Bend ring sections OUTWARD with pliers, then back and forth to break ties (Figure 5-3). 5.2.2.2 Second Ring Remove second ring INWARD by striking screwdr

43、iver (with blade against point midway between ties) then breaking ring sections inward and back and forth to break ties. 5.3 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ARTICLE 300 Refer to the National Electrical Code, Article 300 for proper wiring methods. See 6.7 for making proper connections. 5.4 CONDUCTOR LENGTH

44、 Keep conductor length to a minimum within the wiring gutter. Excessive conductor length will result in additional heating and may result in overheating. However, conductors should be long enough to reach the terminal location in a manner that avoids strain on the terminal. 5.5 EXERCISE CARE Exercis

45、e care to maintain the largest practical bending radius of conductors; otherwise the insulation may be damaged and terminal connections may become loosened. Deflection of conductors shall comply with NEC Section 312.6. PB 1.1-2013 Page 8 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 5.6 NATIONA

46、L ELECTRICAL CODE, SECTION 725.136 Refer to the National Electrical Code, Section 725.136 for the separation requirements for conductors of Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control, signaling and power-limited circuits.

48、ion 6 INSTALLATION OF PANELBOARD 6.1 PROPER STORAGE Store the panelboard in a clean, dry place located so that mechanical damage from work personnel in the area is not likely to happen. 6.2 UNPACKING Care should be exercised in unpacking the panelboard to prevent damage and loss of instruction mater

49、ials and loose parts. 6.3 INSPECTION Check for shipping damage and check to make sure that the panelboard is the correct one for installation in the cabinet. 6.4 CARE Care should be taken to protect the panelboard internal parts from contamination during the installation process. 6.4.1 Cleaning Clean the cabinet of all foreign materials. If parts at connection points are spattered with cement, plaster, paint, or other foreign material, remove the foreign materials with great care to avoid damage to the plating. CAUTIONHYDROCARBON
