Thread Content
The power distribution room has three floors: the first floor is for low voltage, the third floor is for high voltage, and the second floor is divided into two rooms – one serves as a cable compartment, while it is not clear whether the other room can be used as a production office
It is generally not allowed to set up offices in the power distribution room, as there is high voltage present there, and strict control over who enters and exits is necessary to ensure safety. Even in multi-story distribution rooms, each floor should be dedicated to electrical facilities and should not be used for other purposes. It should be determined whether an office can be installed next to the cable tray based on local regulations and safety requirements. It is recommended to consult the relevant work safety supervision and management departments. .
