Control center nomenclature
The numbers shown in parentheses in the following text refer to the
balloon legends in Figure 2.
The Eaton Freedom 2100 motor control center consists of one
or more totally enclosed, dead front, free standing structural
assemblies 90 inches high which are compartmentalized to house
individual control units. (2) With control units mounted in the front
side only, the structure may be 16 or 21 inches deep. For mounting
units back-to-back, the structure is 21 inches deep. Steel covers
(7) enclose the structure at the top, sides and at the rear of front-
mounted-only structures.
A vertical bus system installed in each vertical section is connected
to the horizontal bus to feed the individual control units. The vertical
bus is isolated by a full height barrier. (6) An optional labyrinth barrier
provides both isolation and insulation. An automatic shutter is Figure 1. Nameplate

concrete, the mounting bolts should be screwed in place and
remain until the concrete has hardened.

Joining compatible sections
If two more shipping sections are to be joined into an integral
assembly, or a section added to an existing installation, splicing of
horizontal bus, ground bus, neutral bus, and joining of the adjacent
vertical sections must be planned with the installation.
1. Remove the side sheets from adjacent vertical sections to be

joined. (These sheets will have been removed from factory-
assembled sections.)
2. The horizontal bus splice plates and connection hardware will be
shipped with the MCC attached to one end of shipping section.
Refer to Figure 4.
3. This method provides the most convenient access to the bolts,
and eliminates the need to remove the horizontal bus barriers in
that structure. Should the existing bus be oxidized, sand lightly
with a fine aluminum oxide paper.
m CAUTION
DO NOT USE EMERY CLOTH OR ANY ABRASIVE CONTAINING METAL.
4. Remove the upper horizontal wireway door from the structure

on the right side of the left-hand (LH) section, and remove the Figure 4. Splice plates attached to right-hand section
two-piece wireway barrier to provide access to the ends of the
bus in that section.
5. Move the section into place, aligning the upright structural
channels and bottom channels. Alignment of the section
with floor sills and foundation provisions will be facilitated by
removing the bottom horizontal wireway doors. Using the “U”
or “Z” type frame clamps provided, clamp adjacent front upright
channels together at the top, bottom, and approximate center
of the vertical structure. “U” or “Z” clamp placements must be
placed 4 inches (101.6 mm) above or below the drawout unit—
1/4 turn latch and unit interlock feature on the cover control
module; see details on page 28 bottom left-hand corner. This
operation will be facilitated by removing the vertical wireway
doors from the left-hand structure and one or more drawout
units from the right-hand structure. See Part 9, page 20.
6. If rear access is available, “U” or “Z” clamps should also be
used to clamp the rear upright channels together. In front-
mounted-only structures, this will require removal of the adjacent
back sheets. In a back-to-back-mounted structure, remove the
vertical wireway doors and one or more drawout units as above.
7. Secure the sections to the floor sills or mounting bolts as
provided for the installation.

Install insulated wire and cable at a temperature sufficiently warm to

prevent the insulation from cracking or splitting.
When more than one conduit is run from a common source or to a
common load, be sure to have each conduit carry conductors from
each phase and the same number of conductors per phase. If the
phase conductors are not distributed uniformly, eddy currents will
be generated in the steel between the conduits.
Locate conductors within the MCC to avoid physical damage and
to avoid overheating. Secure incoming power lines in a manner
adequate to withstand the forces that will act to separate the
conductors under short-circuit conditions. Use the cable ties
furnished in both horizontal and vertical wireways to support the
load and interconnection wire. Use a shielded communications cable
inside of flexible metal conduit to protect very low voltage signals
transmitted to or from a computer or programmable controller.
Lugs furnished with the MCC and its components are for Class B
and Class C stranding. Verify the compatibility of wire size, type, and
stranding with the lugs furnished. Where they are not compatible,
change the wire or lugs accordingly. If crimp lugs are used, crimp
with the tools recommended by the manufacturer.
Use care in stripping insulation to avoid nicking or ringing the metal.
All field wiring to control units should be made in accordance with Figure 15. Unit terminal blocks

systems require a terminal end cap to be installed on the line side.
1. Obtain FLA from motor nameplate. Replace the terminal end cap when replacing circuit breakers in
such units.
2. Multiply FLA by 13.
3. Set the cam to the highest trip setting that does not exceed the
calculated figure of Item 2. This is the maximum setting that
should be used.
4. Depress and turn the screwdriver adjustment counterclockwise

Pull-apart terminal blocks in the vertical wireway must be

disengaged (see Figure 30 and page 10) and wiring from the
unit to other units, to master terminal blocks or to load devices
must be disconnected before the unit is removed. Grasp the unit
as shown in Figure 31 and pull it outward. The first inch of travel
pulls the stabs free from the vertical bus, and the grounding clip
on the side of the unit frame is also disengaged.
To replace a control unit, position the mounting points on the unit Figure 30. Disengaging pull-apart terminal blocks
frame with the mating guide rails. Slide the unit inward until all four
mounting points are engaged, then move it inward with a quick
push. This movement easily overcomes the compression of the
stabs as they engage the vertical bus. With the unit in its correct
position, the quarter-turn latch is easily engaged by pushing inward
and rotating ¼ turn clockwise.
Figure 31. Withdrawing a unit

Detent position
For maintenance and test purposes, the unit can be partially
withdrawn (approximately 1 ½ inches) until the stabs are free of the
bus. In this position, the quarter-turn latch can be rotated clockwise
to engage the detent position slot; this will secure the unit to ensure
the stabs remain disengaged during maintenance. See Figure 32.
The latch can be padlocked in this position.
Operating handle linkage adjustment

Movement of the operating handle in the vertical plane should not
be restricted by the handle cavity at either the top or bottom to its
travel. Should restriction occur, eliminate it adjusting the length of
the operating linkage as shown in Figure 33. Depending on the
type of primary disconnect device contained in the control unit, it
may be necessary to lengthen or shorten the linkage.
Automatic shutter travel adjustment Figure 33. Operating handle linkage adjustment
When the optional labyrinth vertical bus barrier is installed in the
control center, a shutter is provided to automatically cover the stab
openings when a control unit is withdrawn. The shutter is opened
by engagement of the left-hand side of the control unit with the
shutter arm linkage attached to the left-hand vertical structural
members. When the unit is withdrawn free of the linkage, a
spring automatically moves the shutter to its closed position.
See Figure 34 and Figure 4.
With the control unit removed, the shutter should completely
comer the stab openings. If it does not cover the openings, use an
adjustable wrench to bend the link arm to the right until the shutter
covers the stab openings.
If, on re-insertion of the control unit, interference is felt between
the stab assembly at the rear of the unit and the shutter, the
engagement of the control unit with the shutter arm linkage is
insufficient to fully open the shutter. Use an adjustable wrench
to bend the linkage arm inward toward the unit to increase its
engagement with the unit. An inward bend of approximately Figure 34. Shutter arm linkage

head screw located above the operating handle will allow the door
to open. See Figure 36.
When servicing and adjusting the electrical equipment, refer to
the applicable drawings covering the specific motor control center
MCC and any other related interconnection drawings. Follow any
instructions that may be given for each device. A list of instruction
leaflets covering standard components is shown on page 31 of this
manual. Any of these leaflets may be obtained by contacting your
nearest Eaton representative.
General guidelines—The whole purpose of maintaining electrical
equipment can be summarized in two rules:
1. Keep those portions conducting that are intended to

be conducting.
2. Keep those portions insulated that are intended to be insulated.
Good conduction requires clean, tight joints, free of contaminants

such as dirt and oxides.
Good insulation requires the absence of carbon tracking and the
absence of contaminants, such as salt and dust that become
hydroscopic and provide an unintended circuit between points of
opposite polarity.

terminated with a crimp type lug that is attached to the control
component. When screw type lugs (marked CU/AL) are used with
aluminum wire, the joint should be checked for tightness every 200
operations of the device.
Wires and cables should be examined to eliminate any chafing
against metal edges caused by vibration, that could progress to
an insulation failure. Any temporary wiring should be removed or
permanently secured and diagrams marked accordingly.
The intended movement of mechanical parts, such as the
armature and contacts of electromechanical contactors, and
mechanical interlocks should be checked for freedom of motion
and functional operation.
Wrap-up. Check all indicating lamps, mechanical flags, doors,

latches, and similar auxiliaries and repair, if required.

equipment into service. Do not remove any labels or nameplates.
Restore any that are damaged.

m WARNING
ONLY INSTALL CLEARLY MARKED UNITS (BUCKETS) WITH
“ARC RESISTANT” LABEL IN FUTURE SPACES, USING INSTRUCTION
MANUAL 50-41929.
Install “U” clamps in the positions as shipped. MCC frames are

clamped together with four “U” clamps (4700A48H01) in the
front. MCC frames are clamped together with five “U” clamps
(4700A48H01) in the rear. There is one extra-long frame clamp at the
rear behind the horizontal bus (79-23866). If the MCC has limited
rear access, as with a bolted back-to-back MCC line, only install the
very bottom clamp and extra-long top clamp.
In cases where the “U” clamp will not fit in the front, e.g., multiple
1X units, a 839A681H08 screw may be used in the normal “U”
clamp position. The screw should be installed from the left structure
