S 2 The UPS is approved as per exchanges earlier. Info Info
The new UPS will not replace the old UPS. Replacement of the old UPS is not in the scope. The location of
the same will be covered under a separate drawing. A new AC distribution board will be provided in
between the UPS and the DCS cabinet with two spare feeders. Similar construction will be followed in this
S 3 distribution board as that of the panels incorporating the comments above where applicable. The new AC Info Info
distribution board will be designed to a breaking capacity of 25 KA.
