Mimic Panel

Turn the overloads down dat'll shed the load

Move the monitoring equipment to the lounge, much more comfortable.

Mimic panels are a dying technology, most people have gone to SCADA systems with flat screen monitors as HMIs or DCS systems with monitors (depending on size). A system of our size and scope is probably a better candidate for a SCADA system, Invensys/Wonderware has packages that specifically address the needs you stated, as does Siemens with their WinPM Power Monitoring system. I would start there.

thankyou very much for your kind help.

Kind Regards

know or calculate for the maximum permissible load demand of each circuit of the switchgear(s) and with the appropriate calculation of short circuit and overload protection ratings and proper overload settings on the breaker(s),select and use that breaker(s) to protect your load or for your automatic load shedding.

So if a switchgear is overloaded,as you described above,based on your settings,the breaker would trip automatically.
