Conduit/feeders are fed/run to bottom-fed switchgear through the slab or floor.

Through the Slab

Conduits or feeders are embedded in the concrete slab during construction. Holes or sleeves are provided in the slab to allow the conduits/feeders to enter the switchgear compartment.

Gaining Entry

Access to the switchgear compartment is typically through removable floor panels or grating. The floor panels are lifted or removed to expose the conduit/feeder entry points. Conduits/feeders can then be installed, terminated, and connected to the switchgear.

Advantages of Bottom-Fed Switchgear: Reduced space requirements: Switchgear is located below the floor, freeing up valuable floor space. Improved cable management: Conduits/feeders are concealed under the floor, providing a cleaner and more organized appearance. Enhanced safety: Cables are protected from environmental hazards and potential damage.* Ease of installation: Conduits/feeders can be installed with minimal interruption to ongoing operations.
