Panel specification

The 5000A, 50kA panel, incororates 2 x 3200A 4P ACB incomers in parallel, with a 5000A bus coupler switch. The large LV switchboard, weighing in at some 8 metric tons (including 3.5 tons of copper bar!), incorporates 12 draw-out pattern Eaton Magnum range Air Circuit breakers, in excess of 30 MCCB's, and also some associated distribution & controls for site lighting.

The impressive switchboard is constructed in Cubic Modularsystem, in a 'back-to-back' configuration, with devices operating 'front access' on 3 of the 4 sides of the panel. The switchboard - critical to the tight timescale of the project -  was crane-lifted into position on site, completing a turnaround period of just 6 weeks from order to delivery.
