DC DISTRIBUTION BOARD
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The distribution board shall be supplied complete with channel base, removable
bottom plates, grounding bolts, lock nuts, washers, etc. and cable glands as specified
hereafter. All unfinished surfaces of the steel panels and frame work shall be free
from adhering matter or grease. Suitable rust resisting primer paint shall be applied
on the interior and exterior surface of the steel housing followed by application of an
undercoat to serve as base and binder. The finishing coat on the exterior of the
switchboards shall be polished cellulose enamel, or dark battleship grey, evenly
spared to present a fine appearance, while the interior faces shall be approved with a
finishing coat of light grey paint to provide a contrasting background for the wiring
inside the cubicle.

A small quantity of finishing paint shall be supplied with each consignment or the
switchboards to enable the Employer to restore at site any surface finish which may
get damaged during transit.

Tripped breakers shall generate grouped alarm for indication in the plant control and
monitoring system.

All feeders to and from the cubicle assemblies will be cables. The assemblies shall
be accessible for the cables from above or from the bottom to each feeder via
separate cable compartment. If cables are mounted from above, dust protection
shutters shall be provided.
