and correct syntax is "electrical distribution cubicle drawer" or just "MCC drawer" - sounds like a combination of machine translation and bad spelling
Tony M Jun 6, 2013:
@ Asker Clearly as Meir has said, 'cubical' is an error for 'cubicle', which is a special kind of unit in electrical distribution, with a very specific translation.

The word order is slightly confusing, but I think it needs to be interpreted as 'the drawer in the cubicle (a kind of module) that forms part of the electrical distribution cabinet' — and the translation adopted needs to reflect all of that; in particular, there is a specific translation for 'cubicle' (readily found via some elementary research) and IMHO as an electrical engineer, it is VITAL to incorporate this into the expression used.

It is about MCC Motor Control Center - with plug-in drawers
and should read "cubicle" of course ("cubical" is off-course :-) )

cubical should be cubicle, I suppose
