This section covers Series 5600 Motor Control Center availability during product obsolescence. All Series 5600 orders can be completely defined by price, catalog type, and modifications. Layout sheets and data sheets are not required for order entry.
The Series 5600 MCC was in production for more than 20 years. In 1970 it was first sold under the ITE Circuit Breaker/ITE Imperial name. In 1976 ITE Imperial merged with Gould Inc. The MCC was then sold with the Gould ITE name and later the Gould name. In 1985 the Industrial Controls Division of Gould Inc. was sold to Telemecanique Inc., and the MCC was renamed the Telemecanique Series 5600 MCC. Telemecanique, Inc., was acquired by Groupe Schneider in 1988, and in 1991 Square D Company was purchased by Groupe Schneider.
Provides transition from Telemecanique Series 5600 MCC to Square D® Model 6 MCC. The transition requires an extension on the first section of the Model 6 lineup. The transition section must be ordered with at least one Model 6 section, and cannot ship separately.
The ampacity of the Model 6 bus will be equal to or greater than that of the Series 5600 bus. 20 in. deep Model 6 can be spliced to 20 in. deep Series 5600. 15 in. deep Model 6 can be spliced to 15 in. deep Series 5600. 20 in. deep Model 6 can be spliced to 20 in. deep back-to-back Series 5600 (units mounted both front and back), with front only unit mounting on the Model 6 section(s). The transition section includes all required splice bars. (Reference Model 6 Motor Control Center Pricing Guide.)
