Power Electrics - Educated Choice . . . . .

Power Electrics has recently installed two generating sets at Bristol University on behalf of SEC Ltd, one of the country's leading Mechanical & Electrical contractors. The project required the provision of 2 x 1000 kVA standby power units to maintain power to the University’s Medical Science Facilities without the need to load-shed in the event of mains failure.
Bristol’s School of Medical Sciences comprises the Departments of Anatomy, Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Pharmacology and Physiology. Its main building is within the University precinct which includes allied departments in the Faculty of Science, and close to the hospitals of central Bristol. The five departments house about 100 academic staff and over 170 independent research fellows and postdoctoral researchers, in addition to about 160 PhD students.
The installation consists of two continuously rated PE 1000P1,1000kVA, 800kw 1390 Amps, 230/400 Volts, 50 Hz AC diesel generating sets running at 1500rpm. The, Insight 5000 auto start control panels are complete with automatic shutdown protection for:
 Low oil pressure
 High engine temperature
 Over/ under speed
 Over/under voltage
 Fail to start
 Overload
 High lubrication oil temperature and fire
The units are housed adjacent to the building in weatherproof acoustic containers, soundproofed to 55dBA @ 1 metre. The 10000 litre double skin fuel bulk tank is built to BS799 type 3.
PE’s fleet of generators range from 10 -1500kVa in single units and are custom designed to meet the demanding needs of both the rental and sales markets. Its service and parts departments ensure customers generators are maintained to the very highest standards and its transport fleet operates 24/7 across the UK, offering a truly national depot network.
