Is your electrical mains unit causing intermittent faults, needing an upgrade in supply or seen better days? Caravan Park Electrical Services Ltd have just successfully completed another Mains Room replacement, this time in Devon.
A new Mains Panel was designed, manufactured and installed by CPES to consolidate all the electrical switchgear, cabling and earthing systems, bringing them together into one location creating a streamlined electrical system for the park. The park had worked with their existing mains supply for many years but as with all CPES’s developments we look to future proof the outgoing circuits, enabling larger supplies to be fitted for forthcoming pitch developments when required. This was achieved by installing a new 1600 amp bus bar chamber with a new 1250 amp main switch with separate outgoing earth leakage devices within the ‘design and build’ panel.
A recent requirement in the last few years has been the addition of surge protective devices within all mains electrical systems where required. Within the panel the parks PME and TT earthing systems were split internally to serve the park buildings and pitch supplies separately to conform with BS 7671. 1No. 400 amp and 3 No. 250 amp switches were installed for existing circuits and future expansion allowing each circuit to be protected with overcurrent and earth leakage protection. Each supply was monitored with a meter to analyse individual consumption along with maximum demand.
With the park’s doors currently closed due to Covid restrictions it seemed the opportune time to undertake this type of project creating less disruption due to the electrical supply been isolated.
CPES offer a turn-key service from design, liaising with District Network Operator when required, followed by the design, installation, test and certification of all their products to the latest electrical regulations BS 7671.
