For equipment rated 1,200A or more, an entrance measuring not less than 24 in. wide and 61/2 ft high, is required at each end of the working space. Where the entrance to the working space has a door, the door must open out and be equipped with panic hardware or other devices that open under simple pressure.

Load: If it needs electricity to operate: rotate, revolve, move, heat or illuminate, it’s a load. Is a switch a load? Motors [process and building] Lights control cabinets contain a system of loads: PLCs, indicating lights, relays Characteristics and ratings: Single phase, three phase, frequency, [unit of power is KW or KVA] Voltage, amperage Enclosure types for different operational and environmental factors: Safety: Protective devices for transient voltages, voltage surges, overcurrent, overvoltage, and ground fault Enclosures for energized parts, raceways, insulators Control: On, off, and somewhere in between [vary voltage or current to control rotation or intensity] Monitor: Power: Always metered by the utility but instrumentation is used for individual monitoring of equipment or systems to determine efficiency Run time: to schedule maintenance Temperature: to determine potential problems
These elements are considered in all designs, though all may not be applicable. Without exception, project engineers need to know about the LOAD, the SOURCE, and the CONTROL, to ensure SAFETY, COMPLIANCE and provide for proper MAINTENANCE The LOAD can be building or 1,000; but each load receives the same thought process and evaluation to follow recommended practices, standards and codes. It’s all about protection of life and property.

Article 110 requires specific clearances around equipment based on voltage levels, and changes have occurred from the 2002 NEC. The requirement that equipment rated 1,200A or more had to be over 6 ft wide before an entrance was required at each end of the working space was removed. The argument for the change was that the size of the arc blast is directly related to the ampere rating of the equipment, and not the physical width of the equipment.
Based on the information provided and discussions that ensue, the early design decisions are made. Article 110 requires specific clearances around equipment based on voltage levels.

What are the options to control the load? What parameters should be monitored? Individual component devices are useful but only if they work in concert. Field devices must report to a command center where decisions are made and action taken. Someone watches a gauge or gauges and turns a knob or flips a switch based on the information displayed or the decision to open a value, turn on a pump, or raise a temperature is determined a multitude of feedback set points that are processed in nanoseconds. SCADA systems can monitor and control plant and process equipment to save clients time and money Verify system performance for regulatory compliance, energy cost savings, Anticipate schedule maintenance times – reduce unanticipated down times Equipment Temperature switches Ammeters, Voltmeters, KWh meters Phase monitors Under/overvoltage monitors Process Level transmitters/ switches Pressure switches Motorized valves
