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.
if it was, I'd assume it would have built in induction genset, capable of running on anything from jet fuel or biodiesel to heating oil, with a foamed filled tank, to survive attempts to blow it up by taking pot shots at it. Such things almost exist, as field workshops, but they are more like interconncted bungalows and they arrive on articulated lorries with run-flat tyres, and this does not sound anything like it.
