I'm doing a hospital switchgear line up with a generator that has 2206 amp output at 120/208v, 3 ph. It is designed by an EE in California. He has me connecting 8, 4" conduits with 4, 600kcm in each. The splice box on the generator is about 18" square.
So, what I need is a cost effective design that I can present to the EE that will be installable. I can't get the 8, 4" conduits in the splice box let alone terminate 32, 600kcm copper conductors.
I suggested locomotive cable that would be far more flexible and easier to handle and had far greater current carrying capability, but it's not UL listed so the EE rejected my plan.
Does anyone out there have some ideas?
