2 Substations each feeding a switch panel within the same room.....

Hi

I currently work at a site that has a 400A 3ph supply from one substation (on site)

I need to install another 200A 3ph supply from a different substation (also on site)

The original substation supplies a miniform panel in a switch room

Is there a problem installing a second separate miniform panel from the second sub into the same switch room?

So long as they’re identified I can’t see a problem. I’ve done the same with two substations feeding one switchroom with two different voltages, 433V and 525V. Like you I used Miniform gear.
One panel was a real pain in the bum, it had been ordered for another switchroom with top entry. I had to strip it down to the bare bones and rebuild it for bottom entry
