Some of the projects shipped from Rolla in January.

Thames Water MCC

This is part of a Motor Control Centre for Thames Water, incorporating dual incomers. The switch on the right has a larger than normal cabling chamber beneath to accomodate Utility Company C.T.'s, and also has an anti-tamper sealing facility. Drives are 90KW VSD Units.

Feeders for Cameroon Switchboard
Buscoupler for Cameroon
Multiple MCCB Feeders
ACB Buscoupler Unit

Both the above form part of an extension to a large brewery switchboard originally supplied in 2004 (6.5m long) and extended in 2005 (added 10.5m). This new extension adds a further 3m. The plant is located in Cameroon (West Africa).

Large rear external cable boxes

Ready for despatch - large rear external cable boxes (630A fuseswitches). This is part of a 6.4m long switchboard for a UK power station which also included multiple 2000A ACB incomers.

MCC for a food processing factory

A 12.8M long mixed Motor Control Centre and Switchboard for a UK based food processor. We fitted 3 off 2500A ACB's, 5 off 630A fuseswitches and 5 off 400A fuseswitches (all free issue to Rolla) for various drives and feeders.

The colour of this one makes it stand out!

Right Hand Side

Part of a Back-to-Back Motor control Centre for Thames Water. With a total length of 12.5m, using a back-to-back (or double fronted) arrangement allows twice as many drives and feeders to share one set of busbars compared to a conventional board. This is one of our standard arrangements which has an overall depth of 1000mm (instead of our usual 665mm). As well as having 3 incomers and a buscoupler, this board also incorporated automatic power factor correction and multiple variable speed drives, starters and feeders.
