    Mv and Lv switchgear in the same switchroom

    Hello, We are in the uk and there is a proposal for a new switchroom to contain both 11kv and 415v switchgear. Are there any standards that say these should be in separate rooms or separated with a barrier of some kind as I understand that you do not want non mv qualified staff being able to...

    Cable sizing to bs7671

    Hello, In regards to cable calculations to bs7671. If we have a cable that needs to run through a duct bank for a small section of its run say 5m and the remainder >80m is in a subway. When we derate can we ignore the duct bank portion? Thank you

    Trimble (Amtech) question

    Hello, I have a question about diversity and load utilisation factor with Trimble software. Say we have a 3ph 400v 150kW load with 0.8 pf which gives 187.5 kVA and we also have a diversity of 0.8 and a load utilisation factor of 0.9. Applying these factors we will end up with a kVA of 135kVA...

    Data network extension to a field jb

    Hello, I have a question regarding the extension of a data network. If we have a building with a data network and we wish to extend this network to a field junction box that will then allow approx 5 temporary buildings to connect to the data network. Would we need a small outdoor panel with a...

    Extension of a data network

    Hello, I have a question regarding extending an existing data network to a new building. If there is only one data point required in the new building would a switch still be installed ? Is there another way to take the existing network to a connection point in the new building ? Thanks

    Cable grouping (circuits/cables)

    Hello, With regards to Trimble software for bs7671 cable sizing. I understand that a three phase circuit (No neutral) is one circuit and this can be achieved by 3 single core cables. Say for a “box” we have 5 single cables in parallel per phase (15 cables total) in Trimble for grouping purposes...

    Feeder pillars

    Hello, I have a question regarding feeder pillars. When are these units best used, is it solely based on length of cable run ( e.g to save long runs) or are there other factors to consider? Thanks

    extension of site data network.

    Hello, There is a project to put in a new building and we will have to tie into the existing data network. I know we will need to provide a new switch in the new building but my question is how to tie this into the existing site network? Would this be by fibre cabling to a spare port on the...

    Feeder cable sizing bs7671

    Hi, With regards to a feeder cable feeding a small building (bs7671) I have reading conflicting information on whether to use the diversified load or the undiversified load. Say building load is 150kw then after diversity (0.8)and load utilisation factor( 90%) this drops to 108kw. For the...

    MCCB electronic protection

    Hello, I am having some difficulty understanding the electronic protection functions of MCCBs. Does anyone know of any good material that explains LSIG and VE functions and when these can be applied. Eg just LSI, LSIG or LI. Also electronic VE. Thank you

    Isolator or protection.

    Good afternoon, I know this may sound like a very basic question. Say you have a transformer serving a main mccb panel, why can't the main switch of the panel be just an isolator? I've only seen the main switching device as a mccb or ACB on drawings. Would the protection device on the cable from...

    MCCB vs Fuse-switches

    Good morning, With regards to the use of fuse switches and MCCBs what is the process in selecting one over the other. I know they each have their advantages and disadvantages but does it come down to the load they are protecting? Thank you

    Gemu 1230

    Hello, Has anyone wired a Gemu 1230 (with no LEDs)before? We have a design that is showing both opened and closed limits and is using a 2pr cable. The 24v and 0v are linked in the field and both signals are coming back. These are wired to separate channels on a Siemens 6DL1131-6BL00-0PH1) DI...
