Internal MV circuits
From Electrical Installation Guide
Internal MV circuits are dedicated to the supply of the secondary MV/LV substations dispersed in the installation. They are three typical principles commonly used for this purpose Fig. D11:
- Single feeder
- Dual feeder
- Open ring
Fig. D11 – Single feeder, Dual feeder, Open ring
Comparison of these three typical principles of internal distribution is given Fig. D12.
