Electrical System Design

Electrical system design is a core part of PowerEarth’s service offering. From feasibility and concept through to detailed design, we can help you with new installations or upgrades for substations, cables and generator systems. PowerEarth’s designs are documented in clear construction drawings supported by reports outlining the design basis and its compliance with the relevant standards.

When it comes to setting up or upgrading a substation, cable, or generator system, electrical system design is crucial. Here at PowerEarth, we offer detailed feasibility and concept designs, clear construction drawings, and reports outlining the design basis and its compliance with relevant standards.

What is Electrical System Design?

In short, electrical system design is the process of planning and documenting the construction of an electrical system. This includes everything from the initial feasibility study to the final set of construction drawings. A well-designed electrical system takes into account the specific needs of the project, complies with all relevant standards, and is safe and easy to install and maintain.

Why Does Electrical System Design Matter?

There are several reasons why electrical system design is so important. First of all, a well-designed electrical system ensures that your project will run smoothly and efficiently from start to finish. Secondly, a well-designed electrical system will be compliant with all relevant safety standards – meaning that your asset will be safe for both workers and visitors alike. Finally, a well-designed electrical system will be easy to install and maintain, which will save you time and money in the long run.

Here at PowerEarth, we have years of experience in designing safe, compliant, and efficient electrical systems – so if you need help with your next project, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

PowerEarth has a long history of supporting our clients with system studies and protection systems. PowerEarth’s studies capability includes:

AC and DC Fault Studies

One of the most important things that PowerEarth can do for your business is AC and DC fault studies. These studies help to identify potential problem areas in your electrical system so that they can be fixed before they cause any damage or disruption. By identifying potential issues early on, you can avoid costly repairs or downtime for your business.

Load Flow and Voltage Drop Studies

Another important service that PowerEarth offers is load flow and voltage drop studies. These studies help to ensure that your electrical system is able to handle the demands placed on it by your business. By understanding the loads placed on your system, you can avoid problems like power outages or equipment failure.

Cable and Equipment Sizing and Specification

PowerEarth can also help with cable and equipment sizing and specification. This service is important because it helps to ensure that your electrical system is using the right size cables and equipment for the job. Using the wrong size cables or equipment can lead to problems like fires or shorts circuits.

Harmonics

Harmonics are another area where PowerEarth can help you to keep your business running smoothly. Harmonics are caused by the way that electricity flows through your system. If not properly controlled, they can cause problems like excessive heat build-up or damage to sensitive electronic equipment.

Protection Settings

PowerEarth can also help you to set up protection settings for your electrical system. These settings help to prevent damage to your system from things like power surges or lightning strikes. By having proper protection settings in place, you can avoid costly repairs or downtime for your business.

Arc Hazard Assessment

An Arc Hazard Assessment from PowerEarth can also help you avoid costly disasters. An arc flash is a type of electrical explosion that can occur when current flows through an air gap between two conductors. Arc flashes are extremely dangerous and can cause severe injuries or even death. A PowerEarth Arc Hazard Assessment will help you to identify potential risks so that you can take steps to avoid them.

Why Do I Need a System Study?

There are many reasons why you might need a system study. System studies provide valuable insights that can help you improve the performance of your electrical system, make investment decisions, understand the impacts of change, comply with safety standards or investigate faults.

How Can PowerEarth Help?

PowerEarth has a proven track record in delivering quality system studies on time and within budget. We listen to our clients to ensure we understand their requirements before commencing work. Our engineers have a wealth of experience in carrying out system studies and are up-to-date with the latest software tools and methodologies.

What Is Involved in a System Study?

The scope of a system study will depend on your specific needs. Typically, we will use computer modelling to simulate the behaviour of your electrical system under various conditions. This will allow us to identify potential problems and recommend solutions. We can also provide detailed designs for new equipment or modification to existing infrastructure.

If you need help understanding your electrical system or making investment decisions about changes or upgrades, then a system study from PowerEarth is the answer. We have the expertise and experience to deliver quality results that meet your needs. Contact us today to find out more.
