Chapter 3 Installing Conduit and Cable
Cable Bracing
The CENTERLINE MCC bus work system has been tested and is qualified to
withstand maximum short-circuit forces exceeding the short-circuit withstand
ratings for the MCC. Incoming line cables and outgoing feeder cables also
need to be supported to withstand the same short-circuit forces. Follow NEC
and local codes when bracing incoming and outgoing cables. There are many
sizes and types of cables, as well as different means that the cables can be
supported. Acceptable methods are shown on the following pages.
Securing Cables with Glass Tape
In this example, glass fiber-reinforced tape or glass filament tape is used. Make
sure the taping is continuous from the point the cables enter the MCC to the
point the cables are terminated. It is important that cables are wrapped several
times for additional strength. Draw up the cable slack during wrapping so that
individual cables are supported by the tape as a single mass.
