    Mounting Heights

    Mounting heights of electrical devices are influenced by and must beclosely coordinated with the architectural design. However, there areindustry standard practices followed by architects as well as code andlegal requirements, such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)guidelines. The following recommended mounting heights for electricaldevices provide a good guideline in the absence of any specific infor-mation and are ADA compliant.

    62 Electrical Engineers Portable Handbook

    1.7 TYPICAL EQUIPMENT SIZES AND WEIGHTS

    Tables 1.6 to 1.11 provide typical equipment sizes and weights to assistin the preliminary design and layout of an electrical distribution system.The reader is cautioned that this data is only representative of industrymanufacturers and should consult specific vendors for detailed infor-mation.This information could prove useful in determining initial spacerequirements and weight impacts for structural purposes.

    1.8 SEISMIC REQUIREMENTS

    The design of seismic restraint systems for electrical distribution equip-ment and raceways is usually done by a structural engineer through per-formance specifications by the electrical design professional. It istherefore necessary for the electrical designer to be generally familiarwith the seismic code requirements and the seismic zone that are applic-able to a project. Figure 1.12 will serve as an introduction.
