Installation Instruction
RTU232 Standard Cubicles
Delivery, unloading and unpacking Delivery
The apparatus cubicles are delivered as:

 Empty cubicles
 Individual cubicles fitted with apparatus
 Several cubicles interjoined to from an integral
unit
Individual cubicles are supplied protected with a

plastics cover and firmly attached to a pallet.
Integral units are supplied supported on beams, pro-

tected with a plastics cover and firmly attached to a
pallet.
Accessories which are not installed in cubicles are

delivered in wooden boxes (crates).
Goods for export are packed in special export pack-

ing.
Unloading
The instructions apply to both packed and unpacked

cubicles.
Exercise great care when unloading and moving cu-

bicles.
As a rule, it is simpler and more convenient to move

cubicles by means of a forklift truck.

Lifting eyes be given to the following:
 Individual cubicles are to be provided with lifting

eyes on top.
 Lifting slings are affixed, by means of shackles,
in holes of the beams and the length of the slings
is to be adapted so that the angle between the
slings does not exceed 60.
 The support beams of integral units are pro-
vided with holes in which tubes or round bar can
be inserted to constitute attachments for the lift-
ing slings.
 Use a piece of wood or the like to keep the slings
apart.
Unpacking
Check the consignment against the accompanying

packing list to ensure that the correct items have
been delivered. Any complaints are to be remitted as
soon as possible to ABB in order to avoid delays in
the commissioning.
If the cubicles are not to be installed immediately after

their arrival, they are to be stored in clean, dry and
dust-protected premises. The plastics covering
should be left in place as protection.
Avoid fixing marking labels or like on painted sur-

faces. If such remains in place too long, the color will
be blemished.
In cubicles fitted with a heating element, the latter

should be switched on the same day as the cubicles
where unpacked in order to avoid corrosion.

RTU232 Standard Cubicle Positioning of cubicles
Free space above the cubicles
The distance from the top of the cubicles to the ceil-

ing, the lower surfaces of beams, ventilation ducts
etc., is to be at least 150 mm.
(At busbar- and cable entry from above the distance

also depends upon type of cable and connection
way.)
Distance from walls

Fig. 1: Free space above the cubicles
The distance from the rear panel of cubicles to wall
must be at least 40 mm.
The distance from the sides of cubicles to wall must

be at least 40 mm.
If a hinged frame or a front door, of an end cubicle in a

row, is to be opened fully without making contact with
the adjacent wall, the distance from the wall must be
increased:
- -At the hinged (left-hand) side of hinged frame
Fig. 2: Distance from walls the distance must be increased to 500 mm.
- -At the hinged (right-hand) side of door the dis-
tance must be increased to 300 mm.
Alignment of cubicles
The cubicles are designed for positioning on a flat

and thoroughly levelled-off base to necessitating any
additional measures.
If the base is not sufficiently levelled-off, the cubicle

frames will become skewed and it will be difficult to
open and close the cubicle doors.
Chocking up cubicles
Free-standing and interjoined cubicles must be

chocked up at suitable points with shims or the like,
between the bottom beams and the floor surface.

Each cubicle is provided with six clearance holes to

enable interjoining of cubicles by means of bolts and

Before they are interjoined the self-adhesive foam

External cables in cubicles Installation
Attachment rails are located on the right- and left-

hand wall of the cubicle or an the left and right side of
the mounting plates for securing the external cables.
Number and position of the rails depends on cubicle
layout.
Relieving stresses on cables
The attachment rails have two types of holes for the

purpose of securing cables by means of bunching
straps.
If a cubicle incorporate an anchor rail at the far bottom

of the side, cables can be attached to this with the aid
Fig. 15: External cable arrangement in a standard of cable holders.
cubicle (example)
Connection
The cables are to be stripped at a position immedi-

ately before the level of the terminal devices of the re-
spective groups. The cable cores, from the stripped
portion to the point of connection, are to be installed
in a suitable manner and, when necessary, secured
with bunching straps to the cubicle frame. Cable
cores running between different group levels can be
installed in the cable ducts.
It applies generally that the stripped ends of cable

cores must be adapted to the terminal to which they
are to be connected. If the length of the stripped end
is too short, the core insulation may become trapped
under the terminal clamp resulting in inferior contact
or the stripped end will not be adequately affixed in
the terminal. If the stripped end is too long,
Fig. 16: Cable securing possibilities in cubicles
flash-overs to adjacent conductors can occur.
Concluding work
Before voltage energizing
Remove all cut-off ends of cables and stripped-off in-

sulation.
Remove all grease and dirt.
Check to ensure that no tools and unused installation

materials have been left in the cubicles.
Vacuum clean the cubicles.
