Installation Services
Complete installation of auto recloser systems and medium-voltage switchgear, from structure preparation through to integration with your existing network.
We provide complete installation services for auto recloser systems and medium-voltage switchgear. That covers the physical installation, everything electrical behind it, and the work of making the new equipment part of the existing network rather than an island sitting next to it.
All installations are carried out in accordance with industry standards and to the client's specification. Where a utility or municipality has its own standard for pole mounting, earthing or labelling, we work to that.
What installation covers
Included in a standard installation
- Pole mounting and structure preparation
- Electrical wiring and termination
- Voltage transformer installation
- Control cable installation
- Communications setup
- Earthing and protection systems
- Integration into existing networks
Details that decide whether an installation lasts
-
Earthing done properly
A surge arrester with a long earth lead protects far less than the same arrester correctly earthed. Lead length and earth quality change the protective margin.
-
Control cable routing
Control cables carry the signals between the switching module and the control cabinet. Poor routing invites induced interference and mechanical damage.
-
Structure preparation
Pole and structure condition gets checked before mounting, because equipment rated for 30 000 operations outlasts a compromised structure.
-
Communications from the start
Setting up communications during installation rather than afterwards avoids a second site visit and a second outage.
-
Network integration
New equipment has to coordinate with the protection already on the feeder, not just work in isolation.
-
Working to your standard
Where you have a house standard for labelling, earthing or terminations, we install to it.
Next step
Installation scope depends on the site: pole or plinth, existing infrastructure, access, and whether an outage window is available. Tell us where the equipment is going and what is already there, and we will scope the work and quote it.
