and equipment of same kind and type shall be selected for equivalent functions. The interchange ability must be guaranteed.
5.2

Tagging
All components, equipment and installations shall receive the respective tagging plates,
labels, etc., which have to be of extremely durable material resistant against the environmental conditions. Tagging plates or labels on fronts of enclosures shall be fixed with
screws.

DC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

DC power supply shall be installed in cabinets where necessary or required by project.
DC power supply designed for other parts of the project (ICT, SCADA etc.) must be carefully coordinated.
Each 24V DC power supply shall consist of the following main parts:

converter,

distribution board.

DC power supply will be equipped with one or two redundant converter supplied from the
230/400V low voltage switchgear. (number of converters should depend on their duty).
During normal network conditions the DC consumers will be supplied via the converter
circuit connected to 230VAC UPS network. Therefore no additional batteries are required
for 24VDC system

Mimic Panel
For the DC power supply a coloured mimic panel shall be provided. The mimic panel/diagram shall show the main power circuit with all necessary switch positions, device
symbols and important alarms.
All measuring instruments shall be allocated to the respective symbols of devices. The
signals which are incorporated in the mimic panel may not be indicated on the indicator
boards.

7.2.4

Remote Monitoring
For remote monitoring to station control system the following signals shall be wired on
terminal strip:

failure feeder of converter,

summary alarm of the converter,

The transfer of the mentioned signals shall be carried out via potential free contacts.

7.3

Distribution Board
For each DC power supply a distribution board shall be provided.
The distribution board shall be located in a separated part of the converter cabinet. If the
cabinet is not sufficient for distribution board installation or if inside of the cabinet there is
no space, a separate cabinet shall be foreseen.
The distribution boards shall be equipped with 2-pole miniature circuit breaker, sized according to the requirements and with the respective terminal stripes. For future extension
each distribution board shall have at least 20 % full installed spare and further 20 %
spare place to install additional devices.
