Anyone know how much 3-section switchboards weigh?

1600A GFI MCB, 480V, with SPD

Thanks!

Contact the manufacturer and ask for a spec/cut sheet.

Could we guess by looking at your toe? :grin:

Yes! Only issue with contacting the manufacturer is that I don't know the actual equipment that is going to be purchased and used. I was looking for a rough estimate if anyone knew it off the top of their head.

Hard to tell you what something weighs if you don't know what it is, how about heavier than a squirrel and lighter than an elephant.

The breaker alone will be 200-300 lbs, the gear and buswork another 500 or so, but you need more details for any estimate of any value.

Enclosure type? Accessories? Just the 1600A breaker? Cable in/out or bussed? Etc......

Are you concerned about putting this weight on a wooden floor ?

Or on a wooden floor on the second floor, if thats the case then someone needs to get a structural engineer involved.

You could get your concrete apron poured specific with a higher PSI then the surrounding aprons.

Seems there's more to the question, but I always ask fifty questions any was, I don't usually type them out :grin:

Me too, sometimes it is that 51st question you forgot to ask that gets you burned.
