Stack Configuration Guide
Configuration Instructions
1. After designing a system one-line, you are
now ready to layout your electrical room
using the enclosed switchgear and control
stacks configurator.
2. Based on system electrical requirements,
choose the appropriate low voltage or
medium voltage available configurations
from the stack configuration guide.
3. In an effort to minimize footprint, select the
nearest available Stack Number that meets
breaker capacities. Use remaining space for
fitting the appropriate controls as desired. The
control and breakers definitions are included
on the following pages.
4. Once the paralleling switchgear system has
been configured, please refer to the enclosed
dimension table for overall lengths, widths,
depths and weights.
