The existing low voltage distribution boards (LVDBs) were not rated to withstand potential fault current when the supply transformers were in parallel. This meant that every time a transformer was to be taken out of service for annual inspection or maintenance, the LVDBs would experience an interruption to supply during a change-over between transformers.
The Nilsen WA High Energy team were engaged to remove the existing transformers and install new 1MVA dry-type transformers (providing less fault current and with the ability to be paralleled), eliminating the need for an interruption to supply.
Beginning preliminary works in April 2020, the project hit completion in June 2020.
