400A, Auxiliary Supply Panel

This panel was built to provide auxiliary supply in a 132/33kV Distribution Centre.  In view of the critical function provided, continuity of supply was an essential design aspect. The panel had 2 transformer incomer sources from two different 11kV networks.  One transformer was on standby.   Furthermore, a generator backup made up the 3rd source in the event that both transformers were lost. The interlocking and sequencing of the source supply was controlled by a PLC in addition to a manual override via a selector switch.

The switchboard has a Form 4 layout.  Circuit breakers and contactors are Schneider Electric and Allen Bradley PLC.
