Auxiliary wire gutters application

[Dale001289]

Has anyone out there ever installed an auxiliary wire gutter on the incoming section of a MCC due to insufficient space for underground stub ups into the MCB?

I just done one that had too many to make in a neat row. I had a piece of galvanized sheet metal bent to fit under the MCC. It was only three sides just to cover the conduit.

Buck I am having trouble visualizing exactly how you did this.
Did the auxiliary gutter attach directly underneath the MCC at the MCB section? Did the stub up conduits attach to the gutter?
Would you happen to have a sketch that shows how you did it? Did this pass inspection with the electrical inspector? Thanks for your feedback

Are you looking to mount the gutter section under the MCC to make more room for the conduit entry?

Actually I was hoping to mount it right next to the MCB incoming section vs underneath the building but I am open to suggestions.

This particular one mounted to the wall. So, I had sheet metal bent the same size as the MCC. With lips on the back side to fasten it to the wall.
It was three sides one front, two sides. No top no bottom. The sides had lips for holes to fasten to the wall.

Ok I get it now. My application is slightly different. Instead mounting to the wall I plan to mount directly to the floor next to the MCC. Thanks again
