Any Pointers on electrical layout for a fabrication rig
Former Community Member
Trying to find the best approach to this problem has the cable trays between the sockets of the units will not cater for large cables above 25mm2 so was looking at having to change the design from a looping cabling system between Main sockets on each floor there are 4 floors in total on the rig to each Power Cluster.So that each Power Cluster have there own Power Supply cable going to them individually so we can look at cutting down the size of cabling to fit the cable trays.But to do this i'm after some electrical layout ideas from the Forum.The starting point of the electrical layout are 3 125A Sockets (ie.400v,230v & 115v) which have an interconnection at two ends (ie Left Side and Right Side) so there is a need for a change-over switch.Then from there on looking at adding a large distribution box for the individual cables to connect to the various sockets of the Power Cluster.
I've also just noticed that according to the diagram two of the rings are supplied with 400V at one end and 110V at the other... (although I presume that's just a slip of the pen).
The whole thing seems so unlikely (including needing three separate 400V/230V/110V supplies) - let alone the complete mis-understanding of how to wire a simple plug safely - I'm having difficultly believing it's actually been implemented like that. If it really has, starting completely from scratch would seem like a good option.
