Hi All,
I've seen low-voltage switchboard being used to automatically transfer from Source A to Source B(double-ended unit substation).
Can a Medium Voltage switchgear be designed to switch between 2 or 3 medium voltage sources? I don't see why not, but wanted to get other opinions. In this scenario, a MV Metal Clad switchgear would act as a distribution point to feed LV switchgear and LV MCC downstream. The MV Swgr would be fed from redundant feeds.
Thank you for your input.
