About the Project
In centres treating chronic conditions, the electrical system must support treatment sessions that last for hours without interruption. Dialysis units and the water treatment plant that feeds them, infusion and monitoring devices and laboratory analysers can all be disturbed by brief outages or voltage fluctuations. IT infrastructure for patient records and imaging archives must also run continuously. Moscow’s cold climate turns heating and ventilation into critical infrastructure as well.
For a medical centre of this scale, the typical distribution is built on a two-section main board with a bus coupler, fed by two transformers. Sensitive circuits in treatment areas are supplied from a safety busbar backed by the generator and UPS, and rooms with patient-connected equipment use medical IT isolated systems. Power factor correction panels limit harmonics from power-electronic loads. Form 3b to Form 4a separation allows maintenance during treatment hours.
Devpan Scope and Switchboard Architecture
Devpan’s scope covers the low-voltage system from the centre’s main distribution to the boards serving treatment, laboratory and technical areas.
- Main distribution boards (DevPanel): 2 × 2,500 A busbars, 65 kA / 1 s, Form 3b – Form 4a, coupler and generator transfer.
- Motor control centres (DevControl): air handling units, heating plant pumps and water treatment motors.
- Sub-distribution boards (DevBox): treatment units, outpatient clinics, laboratories and the server room.
- Power factor correction (DevComp): detuned reactive power compensation.
- Lighting and power panels (DevPower): treatment halls, corridors and emergency lighting.

Devpan Products Used in This Project
Project-Specific Engineering Topics
Continuity of long sessions
Treatments lasting hours, such as dialysis and infusion, are protected by generator- and UPS-backed circuits.
Medical IT systems
In rooms with patient-connected equipment, isolating transformers and insulation monitors keep supply running after a first earth fault.
Water treatment supply
The plant preparing treatment water is planned in the same priority class as the treatment units themselves.
IT infrastructure
Patient record and imaging servers are fed from a separate UPS-backed distribution board.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the installed power of the Skolkovo Medical Centre for Chronic Diseases?
For a medical centre of this scale, the installed power is approximately 3,200 kVA, with a typical transformer configuration of 2 × 1,600 kVA. Main busbars are typically rated 2 × 2,500 A with 65 kA / 1 s withstand, supplied at 10 kV and backed by a 1 × 1,000 kVA generator.
What is a medical IT system?
It is a distribution arrangement using an isolating transformer and insulation monitor that raises an alarm on a first earth fault without disconnecting the supply, improving patient safety and continuity.
Why do harmonics matter in a medical centre?
Medical devices, UPS systems and drives generate harmonics. Left unfiltered, they can cause overheating, nuisance tripping and failure of compensation capacitors.
