Essential electrical supplies installed into basement of Central Bristol Hospital.

Design Considerations:

• Replacement of 2 x 800 kVA oil filled transformers with 2 x 1,600 kVA air cool transformer
• New LV switchboard and package substation Assembly
• Re-cabling of all existing supplies with back up supply for essential medical services
• Installation constraints due to intensive care units and critical life support requirements
• Services such as X-rays kept to be available at all times
• Stringent NHS regulations to be complied with.
• Design and selection of stand-by generator back-up
