OUR SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED

Studies carried out in collaboration with the engineers of FOSTER WHEELER and PESPEN led to the creation of substations, each substation supplying a single-phase network transformer. The maximum distance between one substation and one well is 4km. The 3200 V 10+10 mm² cable is buried and the transformers are installed in a pit, sheltered from bad weather and vandalism.

MATERIAL USED

Six outdoor step-up substations, equipped with 230 V / 3200 V single phase watertight transformers. Six watertight, IP68, step-down transformers, to be installed in a concrete pit. Six concrete pit fitted with a safety interlock and regulatory signs. 21 km of 3200 V concentric two poles cable.
