1.1.4 Transport division

The switchboard is normally split into several transportable divisions (less than 3000mm recommended). Each such division is equipped with hoisting angle steel on its canopy for transportation and installation purposes. All interconnecting wiring between switchboard divisions is provided with plug connectors, which allow easy assembly after transportation and setting up.

The switchboards are equipped with foundation frame (standard 100mm channel steel), which allows to either directly weld or bolt on vessel deck (Material for fastening is not included in the scope of supply).

1.1.5 Bus bars

The bus bars are made of electrolytic copper with high conductivity which has sufficient current-carrying capacity for continuous operation and feeder’s power distribution. Standard bus bars are of bare copper- not insulated and not coated. Insulated bus bars tin-coated bus bars are optional (to be specified in Scope of Supply for actual project). Bus bars and bus bar isolators are designed for withstanding mechanical strains created by electromagnetic forces during maximum peak short currents. Bus bar isolators are of moisture resistant type. For safety, the PVC transparent plates are provided to shelter the bus bars from where the electroshock hazard possibly happens, and the warning labels are stick on the protective plates.
