Electrical Panel GAD

Low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies are combinations of switching devices, controls, and protections. They are rated based on transformer or load ratings and constructed indoors with IP-42 or higher protection. General arrangement drawings show the front, top, bottom, and side views to illustrate feeder and component locations and ensure adequate maintenance access.

Switchgears and Control gears ASSEMBLY

Low-voltage switchgear and control gear assembly (ASSEMBLY) is a combination of one or


more low-voltage switching devices together with associated control, measuring, signaling, protective,
regulating equipment, etc., completely assembled under the responsibility of the manufacturer with
all the internal electrical and mechanical interconnections and structural parts.
Rating - The Switchgears (Power Control Centers), Control gears (Motor Control Centers) & Power
cum Control gears( PMCC) are rated for the upstream transformer rating full load current with 10%-
20% margin or rated to load current with 10%-20% margin for 415 V system and for HV system the
manufactures standard rating to select as per voltage, current and short time rating ex, 400 A, 630 A,
1000A, 1250A, 1600A,2000A & so on
Construction – Switchgears and Control gears are normally located indoors with IP-42 ( min) and
with form 4B construction( LV control gears). The feeder’s construction is typically are fixed type or
fully withdrawable type. The LV switchgear is metal-enclosed construction.
Metal-enclosed power switchgear- A switchgear assembly completely enclosed on all sides
and top with sheet metal containing primary power circuit switching or interrupting devices, or both
with buses with insulators, connections, control, and auxiliary devices. Access to the interior of the
enclosure is provided by doors or removable covers, or both.
Insulators are mainly SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound)suitable up to 80KA and DMC (Dough
Moulding Compound)Suitable up to 25KA.

Assembly GAD – General Arrangement Drawing
The general arrangement layout of an electrical panel will aid in your understanding of the panel's
essential elements, including the locations of the panel's essential feeder, starter, and other electrical
switch gear on the panel board. It is clear how the feeders are configured. We may also say that the
panel's feeder position is shown. This sketch serves as the basis for the creation of an electrical panel.

Any electrical panel's general arrangement drawing is composed primarily of the three items listed
below.
1. Front view (Elevation)
2. Bottom and Top views (Plan)
3. Side view
Front View or Elevation refers to the image that is seen when you stand in front of a panel and gaze at
it. The image that will appear in front of your eyes while viewing a panel from above is referred to as
the top view, and the image that will appear when viewing the panel from below is referred to as the
bottom view. And side view refers to the image that results from viewing something from the side.

It is crucial to initially take into account the installation location for the panel as well as the
measurements that must be included in the drawing when generating the general arrangement
drawing for the electrical panel. For you to open the door and do the necessary maintenance and
operation duties, the location where the panel will be installed needs to have enough space in the
front and back.

Information from GAD
Apart from the views, the GAD shall provide the following information for a particular Assembly :
1. General Information – Legends, Fabrication & Painting details, Assembly details, Wiring
configuration, and Testing of assembly.
2. Forms of construction & IP rating.
3. Dimension of the panel with all compartmental details.
4. Elevation, Top/ Bottom View & Side View.
5. Switchgears, Meters, Indicating Lamps, Operating handles/knobs & Selector Switches.
6. Mimic Diagram.
7. Cable Entry.
8. Rectangular Bus bar sizes.
9. Bus duct end flange connection details.
10. SLD.
11. Details of feeders, Switchgear type and rating, Feeder naming, Busduct connection details & Cable
connection details.
12. Bill of Materials (BOM).
13. SLD of Power, Metering, Protection & Indicating circuit.
14. SLD of Control Circuit.
15. Terminal Details – Marshalling Unit.
IP Rating
IP rating stands for “ingress protection rating.” This international standard lets you tell how effective a
light (or another item) seals against moisture and dirt. The IP rating features two numbers indicating
protection against solids (like dust) and humidity.
