Can the power distribution room and the control room be in the same building?
The key is the size of the building. The power distribution room and the control room are in the same building; it’s not that it’s not allowed, as the regulations don’t prohibit it. We are in the same building.
We are in the same building, but not in the same room; we are quite far apart, otherwise there would be subsonic noises from the electrical room (the humming of exhaust fans or air conditioners).
It should be okay; we used to do it that way, but new projects require separation.
Ours is in the same building, with the control room upstairs in the power distribution room.
Yes, the control room is on the ground floor; it and the power distribution room form separate fire compartments. Refer to the petrochemical industry regulations for details, but in modern designs they are usually placed separately.
