Purchasing coordinated product solutions from
Schneider Electric simplifies short circuit current rating
(SCCR) compliance and offers convenience and design
flexibility. It also:
• Simplifies installation
• Reduces the product’s footprint because the fusible
switch is removed
• Eliminates the need to stock fuses
• Helps to ensure the installation will perform as rated
• Promotes safe practices; personnel won’t need to
reach inside a panel’s energized interior
• Schneider Electric can provide you with the select
combination ratings for our tested product and
equipment solutions that meet the applicable
installation codes and product standards
Industrial Control Panels
Article 409 of NEC NFPA 70 requires that industrial control panels (ICPs) and all components inside meet a defined
SCCR. It recognizes that ICPs may be constructed and installed in applications covered by other articles in the NEC,
such as Article 440 for air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, Article 610 for cranes and hoists and Article 670
for industrial machinery Article 409 impacts panels intended for general use and that operate at 600 V or less.
