OUR SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED

After a technical audit and taking into account the needs and requirements, we proposed the establishment of:

  • DISTRIBUTE ELECTRICITY FROM 6 SUB-STATIONS
    supplying 6.6 kV/415 V 32 kVA transformers using 6.6 kV – 3c x 35 mm² cable.

 

  • 400 V LOW VOLTAGE NETWORK
    Each transformer supplies 11 poles using 4c x 25mm² LV cable.

 

  • ENERGY SAVING IS ACHIEVED BY UTILIZING 6.6 KV DIMMERS.

MATERIAL USED

Substation Material
– 5 switchboards EP13 are each composed of one general incomer contactor, one dimmer incomer contactor, two feeder contactors for lighting supply and one feeder to protect an auxilliary 100 kVA transformer.
– 5 transformers type TER TT 100 kVA 6600 V/400 V.
– 10 dimmers type THR 500 kVA 6,6 kV.
