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.
All the structure is,is a temporary structure used for Welding and Cutting Metal within a Oil and Gas enviroment and within it this contains an office with workbenches and all we are after is an idea as to the best approach to cabling up the structure with the loads that go with the unit, has best trying to cut down in size of cabling for ease of fitment to each Power Cluster has the idea of interlinking the power clusters with one big cable for the 400v system seems a tough job with regards to bend radius on the cables.So was looking at giving each Power Cluster there own Power feed if this desirable?.
