SWICHGEAR PANEL BASE FRAME STRUCTURAL DESIGN CALCULATION

HT SWICHGEAR FOUNDATION BASE CHANNEL LAYOUT

HT SWICHGEAR WITH CABLE TRENCH LAYOUT

Length of Cubical = 1000 mm
Width of Cubical = 850 mm
( Impact load As per YN1V300031-TAY Notes Number
Weight of Cubical = 2000 kg 5)
= 20 KN

Cable trench Span = 1400 mm

Swichgear Panel is simply supported over cable trench wall , heaviest part of the swichgear is resting completely on floor,
The part resting on trench wall is having load about 500 kg only considering conservatively .
Even we have consider that full load of Swichgear panel occur at trench section only for design purpose .

Length of channel supporting Cubical = 1.4 m

As per ABB Swichgear Skid arragement , each Cubical has been supported by two No's of ISMC 75 Channel section .
Hence ,
Load on each channel = 10.0 KN

Uniformly distributed load UDL = 7.14 KN/m (10/1.4)

Maximum Bending Moment W x l^2 / 8 = 1.749 KN-m

Yeild strength of structural steel = 250 N/mm2

STAAD GEOMETRY

LOAD APPLICATION

FACTORED LOAD ( 1.5 )

 MAXIMUM BENDING STRESS FOR FACTORED LOAD

MAXIMUM DEFLECTION AT CENTER

RESULTS

1.0 Maximum bending stress in channel section = 126.32 N/mm2

Allowable bending stress in steel (0.6 x fy) = 150 N/mm2

Hence safe

2.0 Maximum Deflection in channel = 2.29 mm

Allowable deflection = 7.78 mm

Hence safe

CONCLUSION

With reference to above proven calculation , Swichgear Pannel with existing frame will be mounted on simple
support of cable trench without any additional channel support
