Abstract

A motor control center system is provided. The system includes an electrical enclosure having buses for routing electrical power to component units. The system also includes a component unit disposed in a compartment of the electrical enclosure. The component unit contains a component for managing a power supply to a load disposed outside of the enclosure. In addition, the system includes a ground element disposed along a support wall of the compartment, wherein the ground element provides a fused ground connection with a load terminal of the electrical enclosure when the component unit is withdrawn from the electrical enclosure.
