Measurements for MCC Buckets

Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to determine the size or space of your Motor Control Center (MCC) buckets. It explains how bucket units are measured in spaces and how to calculate the space factor by measuring the vertical height of the bucket and dividing it by 6.5. The video demonstrates examples of how different measurements correspond to specific space factors, such as a one-space factor for 13 inches and a five-space factor for 32 inches. For further assistance, viewers are encouraged to contact their local ES& account manager or automation specialist.

Takeaways
