thank u, but
This is a substation, not a factory for metal casting !!

That is the best cable work, that I have seen. It is a really big WOW, mighty fine workmanship.

ps: I enlarged the pictures by 500%.

Is the contractor or engineer did not notice this case ?

If I had designed it I would have slung ladder rack beneath the concrete (?) roof beams and installed the cable on the racks, with lighting slightly below the racks on either chains or conduit droppers. If labour is cheaper than material then maybe this way makes sense.
RE: 33/11 kv substation
Are there more than 4 bends per run?
Do you have a high resolution picture we can see?
Very interesting....

If you are certain that installation is cable could you tell us what type it is - I've never seen any cable of that type. Even mineral-insulated types tend to be plain copper sheathed, not tinned and certainly not galvanised. My guess is that it is conduit but if you can demonstrate otherwise I'm more than happy to be wrong.
RE: 33/11 kv substation
It looks like someone who is new to this field might have designed.
RE: 33/11 kv substation
After looking at the bottom photo, top right that maybe conduit using some type of flex only at the bottom of the concrete beam. Also the five (conduits) with flex runs also seems to be conduit to the wall. Following the runs in the top photo down to the where each run drops off. Also seems like the same is true for 3 runs in the top photo, top, far right.
Granted, I am not informed about IEC wiring standards as I should be. My experience is with the NEC wiring standards.

In have no idea what type of cables they are. As I stated in my first posting of this thread, I would have used cable tray.
Hopes this posting clears up some of the questions about why I stated that it was all cables. Now I believe that there is some conduit included.

Do we know where in the world this installation is located? Is it possible that we are looking at aluminium-sheathed cable?
