Can the power distribution room and the automatic control room be built adjacent to each other? If possible, does the adjacent wall need a firewall? It would be best to indicate the source of the relevant provisions. Thank you!
It is allowed according to building codes, but not according to petrochemical regulations. Looking at your company’s projects, if they involve two key areas and one major project, I can tell you that it’s not possible. It must be moved out.
They cannot be in the same building; first, understand why they cannot be placed adjacent to each other. The transformers in the power distribution room have a strong magnetic field, which is used to prevent interference with the electrical signals in the control room. So, can they be placed together or should a firewall be installed?
