ACB drawing out space
ACB drawing out space
(OP)
Hi,
Is there any standard or documents available to get an idea of approximate front space required
for drawing out of ACB (low voltage) like for example-for 1600A ACB ,750mm space is required
infront of switchgear.
Now I would like to know 5000A ACB, what is the minimum distance required.
Thanx in advance.
regards
Abraham

space I should allow for
1)safe working
2)is some arc/shock hazard etc come into this picture to take away precious space of

I have no idea what code that would be in your un-named "middle east" country, but my experience is that code requirements such as this tend to be very similar across the world, chiefly because they are modified over time due to investigations over accidents, and those reonsible will look to other codes to find what appears to work best.

My thinking was this code design was based on old acb standards-not either on considering new electronic trip units or "maximum power,minimum volume concepts" prevalent in switchgear industry.Still question remains- is codes considers the worst case of lv circuit breaker rated acbs,ie 6300A+other consideration I just learned from experienced people like you

I add a meter + to the space given in manufacturer's literature.
