Recent installations by Zest WEG
Generator Sets Division include six 2 000 kVA
generator sets at the Promenade Shopping
Centre in Mitchells Plain. Installed to provide
a total power back up solution, the system
incorporates a synchronising panel which
controls the medium voltage switching and
load sharing.
Involvement at the design stage saw
the provision of a bespoke generator set
solution to the V&A Waterfront comprising
13 smaller generator sets. These 630 kVA
sets have been installed in the parking areas
and the existing building and allow for the
dropping of a generator if it is not required
during low load periods.
Specialist application requirements
also form part of Zest WEG Generator Sets
Division’s market offering and the com-pany
was responsible for the engineering
of two super silent containerised gener-ators
that were installed on the roof top
of the Christiaan Barnard Memorial
Hospital. These sets synchronise with the
mains supply.
Generators for Silo 3, 4 and 5
Three 450 kVA generators were supplied
to the Silo 3, 4 and 5 Project on the
V&A Waterfront as backup power units.
These units are controlled by a common
synchronising panel and feed three different
change overs/buildings within the Silo
precinct, and this is also a good example
of providing a fit-for-purpose solution for a
large commercial complex.
Zest WEG Generator Sets Division
produces both stationary and mobile
generator set solutions from 10 kVA up
to 3 350 kVA at its well-equipped facility
in Cape Town. Integrated packages
include mechanical and electrical
manufacture and assembly as well as
electronic design incorporating in-house
control panel manufacture.
Included in the marketing offering is the
supply and installation of transformers,
cabling, bulk fuel systems and sound
attenuation with standby generators on
a turnkey basis, together with project
management, installation, commissioning
and maintenance.
