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 fireThe 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. 
Bristol
based Power Electrics, one of the largest providers of generating
systems in the UK, was recently commissioned by Southern Electric
Contracting Ltd (SEC) to supply two generators for the MOD site
on Ascension Island which were required to fulfil an urgent requirement
for a back-up power solution.The generator specification matched
Power Electric’s standard fleet generator perfectly and
they were able to provide the brand new FG Wilson sets ex-stock.
One unit was sold to the project and the other was put into the
fleet for temporary hire. Power Electrics delivered the equipment
to RAF Brize Norton where it was air freighted out to Ascension
Island by the RAF. One of the company’s senior electrical
engineers also made the trip to help install and commission the
equipment.For this requirement, Power Electrics, a main F.G. Wilson
distributor, supplied an automatic mains failure change panel
and two 135 kVA 3 Phase 400 volt 60HZ generator unit from the
manufacturers XD Rental Range specifically designed for the rental
sector. These robust generating sets are designed to meet the
rigorous requirements of fleet operators, with all the generally
up-fitted items included in the package as standard. They are
fully bunded to contain all spillages and have a 24-hour fuel
tank which comes complete with cleaning access, an internal fuel
fill point and internal baffles. The control panel houses all
the necessary metering and shutdown protections with LED indicators.
