1.3.0 Mounting Heights for Electrical Devices
Mounting heights for electrical devices are influenced by and must be closely coordi-nated with the architectural design. However, there are industry standard practices
followed by architects as well as code and legal requirements, such as Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. The following recommended mountingheights for electrical devices provide a good guideline in the absence of any specific
information and are ADA compliant.

1.8.0 Introduction: Typical Equipment Sizes,Weights, and Ratings
Tables 1.8.1 through 1.8.7 provide typical equipment sizes, weights, and ratings to
assist in the preliminary design and layout of an electrical distribution system.The reader is cautioned that these data are only representative of industry manu-
facturers and should consult specific vendors for detailed information. This infor-
mation could prove useful in determining initial space requirements and weightimpacts for structural purposes.

1.9.0 Seismic Requirements
The design of seismic restraint systems for electrical distribution equipment andraceways is usually done by a structural engineer through performance specifications
by the electrical design professional. It is therefore necessary for the electrical
designer generally to be familiar with the seismic code requirements and the seismiczone that are applicable to a project. The following will serve as an introduction.
