What is the correct answer for the Electrode configuration selection for typical electrical equipment. my thoughts are below:
Panelboards (VCB)
Distribution boards (VCB)
Switchboards (VCBB) 20/20/20 in
Switchgear (HCB)
Typ. Transformers (VCB)
F/NF Disconnects (VCB)
UPS-PDU-RPPs (VCBB)
ATSs (VCB)
 
You are not using typical abbreviations so what is VCB, HCB, and VCBB?
These are terms from Arc Flash analysis that define the orientation of the conductors in relationship to the affected worked.
v is vertical, h is horizontal and b is barriered.

Think of the bussing in a normal panel board. The bus bars are vertical, they don't point at you. But in a switchgear cell they the breaker connection stabs, in the cell, point out at you horizontally.
