I have a substation with some 6.6kV, 22kV and 415V LV switchboards. Due to space constraints, I am considering installing a 6.6kV Neutral Grounding Cubicle of the diesel generator of the substation directly beside a row of LV switchboards. However, my only concern if it is okay to have MV and LV boards directly next to each other. Are there any regulations that disallow such arrangement? Are there any other concerns like EMF? Or what additional measures I can take to mitigate these issues?

Would appreciate any ideas/ comment from all...
 
If you look on some switchgear manufacturers sites you’ll find they make combined panels incorporating LV, MV and transformers in the same panel. I don’t like the arrangement but if needs must then there seems no problem with it.
Have a look at http://www.ellison.co.uk/packsub.htm to see what I mean.
