Dear all,
In one of my project, I find one PLC control panel near to the 33KV main power line, (only 70cm far), my system did not start yet, but the question is:
Is that power line going to affect my panel work, if yes, what is the solution?
CPU inside the panel is TWIDO, communication through RS-485 modbus line into main Premium PLC which it 300 meters far from this panel.
Not really a problem. Safety wise, most gear these days is metal clad at that voltage. Metal enclosed is still around but the cost adder for metal clad isn't that much. You said 70 cm and that's just about the required distance between the conductors and the casing on this kind of gear, so I'm assuming that you're either talking about the gear or the cable. The cable definitely should be the shielded variety (with a ground) for safety reasons. That's what you normally get when you buy medium voltage cable these days. Either way, I wouldn't recommend stepping on them but I work around 23kV, 7.2kV, and 4160V cables all day long. Never seen any problems with the electronic gear either. 70 cm is just about the distance that I'd normally expect to see for electronic gear around 33 kV switch gear such as protective relaying, power metering, and so forth. That stuff is not built to any different standards than standard PLC gear.
If it's not insulated or shielded, then the old rule of thumb would be at least 10 feet of separation between the conductor and yourself, vehicles, and so forth. I can't remember whether the distance is still 10 feet or goes up for a 33.5 kV system under the current IEEE recommendations and NFPA 70E. The 10 foot rule is for safety.
