UniverSal CUtoUt overview
appliCation
The universal cutout is used in large freestand and oorstand
enclosures, i.e., Bulletins A21(S), A28(S), A34 and A4L3D.
Operator Adapter Kits are required in order to install the various
manufacturers’ hardware. Note that 400A (or greater) disconnect
switches and 600A (or greater) circuit breakers require the “Large”
or “High Amp” cutout and large handle. A 200A (or less) disconnect
switch and 400A (or less) circuit breaker require a small handle,
which is provided in the ABL kit for Allen-Bradley variable-depth
disconnect switches or the SITEL kit for Siemens (and select other
manufacturers) ex-cable devices. The “Large” or “High Amp”
cutout accepts the larger operating handle whose mounting hole
centers are 6.500-in. apart.
Universal cutouts are designed to house the following:
Allen-Bradley
•
Bulletin 1494F ange-mount disconnect switches and Bulletin
1494D ange-mount operators for circuit breakers
• Bulletin 1494V disconnect switches with ange-mount variable-
depth operating mechanisms and Bulletin 1494V ange-mount
variable-depth operating mechanisms for circuit breakers
• Bulletin 140U exible cable operating mechanisms for 140U
molded case circuit breakers
• Bulletin 140G exible cable and variable depth ange-mount
molded case circuit breakers
• Bulletin 1494C cable-operated disconnect switches with ange-
mount handles
• Bulletin 194RC cable-operated ange-mount handles for use with
the NFPA 79 compliant 194R IEC rotary disconnect switches
ABB Controls ange-mount variable-depth operating mechanisms
for disconnect switches and circuit breakers. Also the cable version
for circuit breakers.
Eaton Cutler-Hammer Type C361 disconnect switches and operator
mechanisms, and Type C371 circuit breakers and circuit breaker
operating mechanisms. Also Type SM safety handle mechanisms
and FLEX SHAFT handle operators for circuit breakers.
General Electric Type STDA ange handles and variable-depth
operating mechanisms for disconnect switches and circuit
breakers. Also SPECTRAFLEX cable operators for circuit breakers.
Siemens ITE MAX FLEX
®
ange-mount variable-depth operating
handles for disconnect switches and circuit breakers.
Schneider Square D
®
disconnect switches and circuit breakers
used with Class 9422 ange-mount variable-depth operating
mechanisms or cable mechanisms.
These enclosures will NOT receive Class 9422 bracket-mount
disconnect devices, Class 9422TG1 or TG2 devices.
Disconnect Enclosures with Universal Cutout
Universal cutout requires an operator adapter for the brand and type
of disconnect being used. See Disconnect Enclosure Accessories to
select the operator adapter.
ordering
The disconnect switch, operating handle and operating mechanism
must be ordered separately. See Technical Information in the nVent
HOFFMAN Specier’s Guide for wire bend space available when
various manufacturers’ disconnect switches are installed. Check
the enclosure dimension drawings to verify the chosen disconnect
switch will t in the enclosure.
All 24.12-in. (613-mm) and deeper enclosures require long
connecting rods to be ordered in place of short connecting rods.
