Wonder how much this would cost to install nowadays using modern Panel Equipment

[Sam cook]

Have been working in a building installing emergency lighting. Was taken back by the size of the Main Intake Room. Biggest Intake Room I've ever been in!

Like to see other people's pics and experiences of any other interesting buildings etc.

Thanks
Sam

Nice compact job, what building is it?

 

[Bobster]

Just looks like a standard MCC.

The main cost is what form the MCC is built to and how much current and the KA rating the bars need to be. Looking at that photo, probably a type of form 4 with bars rated at 1600amp with a 50KA for 3 second rating. Cost is probably around the £80K mark. Considerably less if those compartments are just feeder sections and don't have motor starting equipment in them.

I done one last year for a BNO installation on an industrial estate and the equipment come to 25K and no where near the size of the one in the pic, probably a quarter of the size.

Looks Federal Electric.

Looks like an old Twyver Switchgear to me.

I think it is a Ottermill panel, with what looks like two transformer incomers and a bus-switch which are Castell interlocked. It is purely a switchboard from what I can see (no motor starters - just outgoing fused switches). I would say on todays prices you would be looking at about £150k for a switchboard of that size.

My thoughts around the 100k mark. It's one of 3 duplicate switch rooms with 6 transformers on site. Council building. Spot on rob and Andy 1960 with findings. Nice picture kenny Ken! The building has stayed true to form with little alteration within it. The air handling plant room is something else. We counted 105 bare dressed minerals into the control panel with no cross of cable in sight!
