Supply Upgrade From 2 X 800kVA To 2 X 1600kVA HV & LV Systems
Our client is one of the larger hospitals situated in the west midlands. They offer a variety of services from accident & emergency to maternity.
The Challenge
During the summer of 2016, Johnson & Phillips were requested to supply 2 1600kVA transformers and 2 2500A main switchboards interconnected to fit a predesigned switch room. This system also included Dynamic PFC and Auto Changeover.
Due to Johnson & Phillips’s belief in carrying stock, we were able to supply both transformers without delay. The main switchboard presented a challenge due to the space available in such a small designed switch room along with the stability of power due to the CT, MRI & radiotherapy equipment being supplied.
The Solution
Johnson & Phillips fully supported the Hospital trust’s requirements and were able to design a switchboard of 2 x 2500A Interconnected into a ‘U-shaped’ formation with front access. This switchboard also included thyristor-switched power factor correction to support the dynamics of the Radiotherapy and CT Scanning Equipment.
The Results
Our engineers carried out the following:
- Supplied Amorphous Core Transformers.
- Designed and Manufactured the LV Switchboard.
- Provided full design and scope.
- Moved with the continued changes of the project.
- Delivered the full solution on time.
- Provided the full installation.
- Tested and Commissioned.
- We provided a full In House HV and LV Solution.
