Hi,
I am an EIT and have been designing these systems for about 2 years and it came to me that I have never seen the internals of an actual trough and was wondering how the conductors coming in are actually tapped to the multiple tenants. I have searched the net for some sort of diagram but could not come up with one and was wondering if someone could give me some insight. Here's a scenario maybe to help with the explanation :smile:
3 Sets of 400kcmil conductors coming from a 3phase 208V transformer into a trough. There is a total of five tenants the trough will be feeding. Four tenants required a 100A service and One requires a 600A service. I have drawn out a diagram which can be seen here:
of what I believe could be the possible ways but again I am unsure of how the internals are worked. Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance
