Regarding high-voltage power usage for equipment
Thread Content
In petrochemical projects, there are main substation buildings and substation rooms in the tank farm area. But the tank area and the high-pressure equipment located near it both draw power from the main transformer – can’t the power be supplied directly from the tank area? Are there any regulatory requirements?
It cannot be allocated from the tank area. Does not meet the standards. Class II explosion-proof area in the tank farm.
Most of the high-voltage electrical equipment is on the other side, and the power lines are long. Are there any ways to avoid this in the design, or does it not matter? Thank you
It can be supplied at the tank farm, and there are regulatory requirements, mainly regarding explosion prevention.
If it is supplied at the tank farm, your tank farm will have a combined high-voltage and low-voltage substation, which means that the incoming cables for the tank farm substation will be very large in size. . The overall transformation is designed to avoid constructing combined high-voltage and low-voltage substations in the irrigation area
It can of course be prepared in the tank area. First of all, the tank farm distribution room must be located within a safe area; this has nothing to do with explosion prevention ； Secondly, as mentioned above, if your tank farm distribution room is a high-voltage distribution room.
