The Challenge
The site electrical requirement was 1 MVA. Due to infrastructure capability, the DNO only supplied 250 kVA and deficit to be supplied on later date. It was proposed to provide an electrical generator to provide deficit electrical supply until DNO can supply 1 MVA.
The challenge was to provide electrical design which accommodates both generator and DNO electrical supplies with future proofing of removing generator electrical supply
Problem Solved
SYEDENG provided an electrical design for a switchboard which accommodates an electrical generator and DNO supplies. SYEDENG future-proofed the design by allowing de-coupling of the generator electrical supply and implementing full use of DNO 1MVA supply on a later date.
