Electrical system upgrades
When considering switchboard and electrical service upgrades, particularly for installations involving generators and automatic transfer systems (ATS), it's essential to prioritize safety, efficiency, and compliance with relevant standards. Here’s our structured approach to ensure a successful installation and operation:
-
A switchboard is an assembly of panels that distribute electricity to various circuits. It houses circuit breakers, fuses, and switches. A generator provides backup power during outages. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The ATS automatically switches the power supply from the mains to the generator when it detects a power failure.
-
We ensure that all installations comply with AS/NZS Standards and energy safe, which set the standards for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection. We use equipment that is all certified
-
We Conduct a load analysis to determine the total power requirements of the facility. This includes identifying critical loads that must remain powered during an outage. We choose a generator that can handle the calculated load with a margin for future expansion.
We use factors like starting wattage for motors when sizing. If a facility requires 50 kW of continuous power and has several motors that require higher starting power, consider a generator rated at 60-70kW to accommodate those surges.
-
The ATS should be integrated into the electrical system to monitor power supply continuously. It should be capable of detecting outages and transferring loads seamlessly. We recommend Regular testing and maintenance of the ATS and generator. We Schedule routine inspections to verify functionality and compliance.
-
Upgrading switchboards and installing generators with ATS enhances the reliability of electrical systems, reducing downtime during power outages. Businesses can maintain critical operations without interruption, which is vital in sectors like emergency services, and manufacturing.
-
We can train staff on the operation of the ATS and generator, including emergency procedures. Maintain detailed records of all installations, inspections, and maintenance activities for compliance and auditing purposes.
