  • LOCATION: France
  • YEAR: 2024

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Powering two 90 kVA converters, 250 meters apart using existing ducts

CUSTOMER NEEDS

Use existing ducts and do not open new trenches

CUSTOMER NAME 

Limoges Airport

OUR SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED

Create a 3200 V network, consisting of a step-up/step-down transformer unit. The 3200 V voltage allows the cable sections to be reduced to a minimum, using three 6/10 kV 1x6mm² airport cables.

MATERIAL USED

One indoor step-up substation, 160 kVA 400 V / 3200 V with a permanent on load switch departure
One watertight transformer, IP68, MODULO transformer 160 kVA 3200 V / 400 V
One outdoor cabinet, receiving the watertight transformer, cabinet equipped with one low voltage circuit breaker

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

SMALL CROSS SECTION CABLE ALLOWING THE USE OF EXISTING DUCTS

WATERPTIGHT (IP68) AND CORROSION RESISTANT TRANSFORMERS, OFFERING A LONG LIFETIME

NETWORK PERMANENTLY PROTECTED UNDER VOLTAGE
