480 V double-ended low-voltage switchgear

This double-ended low-voltage switchgear single line diagram shows two independent 13.8 kV sources transformed to separate 480 V bus sections. Each section has a 3200 A main breaker and supplies its own motor control center feeder. A normally open bus tie provides a planned transfer path when one source is unavailable.

Ce que contient ce dessin

Comprenez les décisions qui le sous-tendent.

01

Each 13.8 kV feeder has a dedicated 2000 kVA transformer.

02

Both 480 V mains are rated 3200 A and 65 kA.

03

The bus tie is normally open to avoid paralleling sources.

04

Each bus supplies an independent 800 A MCC feeder.

Use this topology for plants that need sectionalized low-voltage distribution. Interlocking and transformer capacity must be verified before closing the tie.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

Why is the bus tie normally open?

It keeps the two transformer sources separated during normal operation.

Can one transformer feed both buses?

It may during a transfer if transformer capacity and interlocking allow it.

What is an MCC feeder?

It is an outgoing circuit that supplies a motor control center.
