New MV/LV Transformer and Distribution System
From concept to completion Inspec Systems Ltd are proud to announce the successful commissioning of a new 1.6MVA MV to LV transformer for Vivergo Fuels Ltd, Saltend, Hull.
Vivergo Fuels Ltd manufacture bio-ethanol which is a renewable fuel additive providing a uniquely sustainable option of alternative energy helping to decarbonise road transport fuel whilst also supporting the agriculture sector. Inspec Systems are proud of their association with Vivergo on this and other projects and wish them all the success in bringing their plant online.
This new transformer provides a standalone power supply to an LV Motor Control Centre (MCC). This feeder supports the client’s investment in their biofuels plant, providing a future proofed distribution system considering capacity for planned and future investment.
We worked closely with the Client every step of the way, ensuring the highest standards in health and safety delivery, meeting their requirements, program and budget as part of their investment project. In doing so we took ownership and responsibility for:
- Safe delivery and HSEQ,
- Feasibility study with cost assessment,
- Front end engineering design (FEED) study with major equipment specification sheets meeting the client’s procurement requirements,
- Detailed design and engineering including:
- MV and LV cable calculations,
- LV/LV protection settings study and inter-trip requirements,
- Transformer earthing study and design
- Installation and testing including:
- Full cable point to point and inter-trip testing between LV and HV protection cubicles
- Secondary injection testing of Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) and Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) protective devices
- Primary injection testing of Restricted and Standby Earth Fault (REF and SBEF) Current Transformers (CTs)
- Torque testing of all terminations: HV, transformer and LV
- LV cable testing to BS7671 and HV cable testing including:
- Insulation resistance
- Pressure testing
- Phase rotation testing
- Transformer testing
- Earth pit and system testing
Client feedback throughout the project included:
