Relocating electrical panels to different location

[winnie]

Any chance to dig below the current UPS and get the needed additional space that way?

Could the necessary energy storage be separate?

Sounds like a wallyworld! They were moving walls for a rollout, but luckily, they were all overhead, so just put a wireway above the new ceiling. Walker probably has a floor wireway that could be cut in. They made pull boxes for right angle turns of floor duct.

Instead of cutting into the concrete, could you install a platform covering the above grade connections to new duct to moved panels? (Platform w/ removable top)?

A better solution may be to leave the wireway and raceways, remove the wall and just turn the panels around.

This is what I would do, and was about to suggest. (Honest!) It would save a lot of money in both material and labor.

With careful wire labeling and panel removal, and making templates for matching KO patterns in the trough, you could reuse the existing wires, panels, and breakers.

You might have to swap some breakers side-to-side for all of the original wires to reach their breakers.

They are OK to remove the wall and build new one. That is the story!

So the wall is still going to be needed just 3-4 feet behind the gear, Just build a free floating rack system and keep everything as is. then you can use the room behind your floating gear as UPS storage or for brooms

I have to wonder why the UPS can't go where they're suggesting the panels go.

Could it really be bigger than all of this equipment and its required working space?
