The mains electrical distribution system feeding any electrical installation must be considered as the heart of the electrical installation.
With the ever-increasing demands being made on the country’s electrical mains distribution systems, and even with more energy saving devices and equipment being used to bring power consumption down to a minimum, it is still paramount that there are careful and specific design calculations considered when designing a new electrical installation, or even when just making an addition to an existing electrical installation.
Professional expertise is required to calculate the size of the electrical supply that is required, what type of protective devices are needed for each circuit and how these circuits are to be distributed efficiently and safely.
With electrical safety equally as important as functionality the mains distribution system whether it be a standard distribution board providing lighting and power circuits to a commercial project or
large switch panel powering a large distribution centre, safety is paramount. Shock prevention must be maintained and the risk to life must be removed with devices which in the event of a fault, disconnect the circuit from the power source in a fraction of a second.
In the design of a mains distribution system, we have electrical installation design software to ensure electrical distribution systems comply with current regulations and where possible carry a certain level of future-proofing. Electrical loading is designed into the system to reduce the risk to industry and disconnection devices are designed to protect life.
As every installation can be different and have different uses, allow us to design, supply and install the right system for your current needs while factoring in what you might need in the future.
