Pre-Commissioning LV HV Systems by Oakes Power Services Ltd

by Daniel Oakes | Managing Director | Oakes Power Services Lts

uploaded by Chris Dodds | Sales & Marketing Manager at Thorne & Derrick 

Pre-Commissioning, also known as “Pre-functional Testing,” is an essential step in the installation and implementation of Low & High Voltage Electrical Power Systems – this process ensures that all components and cable accessories of the system are functioning properly and safely before the system is put into operation or “Commissioned“.

High voltage systems are critical to the operation of many industries, including utilities, manufacturing, data centres and commercial buildings. These HV systems are responsible for distributing and transmitting electrical power, and any failure or malfunction can have serious consequences, including injury, property damage, and loss of revenue.

Commissioning is a comprehensive process that involves testing and verifying the performance of all components in a high voltage system. This includes electrical and mechanical components, such as transformers, switchgear, protective devices, and control systems. The commissioning team will also verify that the system meets all safety and technical standards, and ensure that it is properly grounded and bonded.

In addition to ensuring the safety and reliability of the system, pre-commissioning can also identify potential issues and improve the overall performance of the system. This can save time and money by preventing costly repairs, mal-operation and downtime in the future.

Oakes Power Services is a leading provider of commissioning services for Low & High Voltage Electrical Power Systems – their team of experienced professionals have extensive knowledge and expertise in testing and verifying the performance of these systems using the latest tools and technology to ensure that your system is safe and operational

Oakes Power Services provide ongoing support and maintenance to keep LV HV power running smoothly.

By partnering with Oakes Power Services for your commissioning needs, you can have peace of mind knowing that your network is in good hands.

Remote Cable Cutting Tools from Klauke

Remote Cable Cutting Tools

Thorne & Derrick | Distributed from Stock | Approved Supplier | UK & Export Sales

The first remote-controlled cable cutter with blade position sensor from Klauke ensures armoured/unamoured LV MV HV cables are completely and cleanly cut, safely.

The 18V battery-powered hydraulic cable cutting tools ESG105RMCCFM and ESG65RMCCFM were developed in collaboration with experts from the utilities sector to find a method to cut electrical cables safely and remotely up to 70 metres.

In contrast to overhead power distribution systems, it is not always possible to trace underground cable systems, making it difficult to guarantee a voltage-free condition.

The ESG105RMCCFM (up to 105mm diameter cable cutting) and ESG65RMCCFM (up to 65mm diameter cable cutting) manufactured by Klauke are battery powered hydraulic cable cutting tools with a remote control feature to allow the user to maintain a safe distance whilst cutting cables in the following voltage classes; LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage) and HV (High Voltage).

The remote cable cutting tools have an extremely wide cutting range and are convenient to with an ultra-lightweight design. The tools give the user confidence that everything is under control thanks to the new Klauke remote control with optimised operating elements.

The integrated LEDs display the current connection status of the tool and notify you at any time about the cutting process.

The cutting tools continuously check the position of the the patented blades. When the blades fully overlap, the tool gives out a visual and acoustic cutting confirmation from the remote control.

Cutting Tool

Features & Benefits

• End position detection – visual and acoustic cutting confirmation from the remote control when the cutting operation is complete
• Ultra light design – low weight (6.0kg or 10.5kg), the tool is very user-friendly and portable
• Cable fully under control – the closed design keeps the cable safe and protects adjacent cables
• Fixing eye – for supporting the tool in confined areas or spaces in both onshore and offshore locations
• Bluetooth® connection – for connection with the i-Press® app
• Fixing ring – for depressing operation button in remote mode
