ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Electrical Design Issues: White Paper

Good day to all,

I have been asked to write a White Paper to address power concerns below, and I was wondering if there are any good thoughts or documents out there?

This effort was a result of numerous concerns that questioned whether design plans were sufficient to prevent damaging building and equipment, injuring personnel, and allowing communications equipment to be installed and tested in an efficient manner.

208/120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3Ø

(2 Siemens, S1 Panelboards, 2 panels each platform, 42 circuits, 150A MCB’s each, Panelboard restricted to 250A Max. by a 225A Main Service Panel Breaker)

Amps available 300 AMPS

Potential Shortfall: -400 AMPS for simultaneous equipment usage?

Thanks a bunch,
