I have a block of flats, 9 floors, with 2 x supplies feeding the north and south side of the building separately. The supplies are 3 phase 500 amp head units. Each floor has a riser running through where the existing VIR cabling is run through conduit to ancient fuseboards. We are replacing the old fuseboards with new and looking at up-grading the cabling supplying new fuseboards on each riser for each floor. Each floor has 8 flats per side (14 per floor) which we will be running 3 core 25mm SWA to each flats meter and terminating.
The question is what is the best way to supply the riser cupboards fuseboards. I was thinking that we could run SWA from the basement supplies and taking the phase to every third floor. Problem is that there will need to be 2 x SWA terminations in each middle fuseboard.
Is there a better way of getting the fuseboards supplied, perhaps using busbar and if so any recommendations.
