Challenge
The operator of a coal-fired power plant in the Czech Republic required a reliable solution for interconnecting medium-voltage equipment within a technological system. Due to the outdoor installation, emphasis was placed on resistance to weather conditions, safe operation, and long-term reliability of the equipment under both normal and fault conditions.
Our Solution
IVEP supplied an outdoor connection cabinet of type CCO, designed for safe operation in the outdoor environment of a power plant. The cabinet construction was adapted to the demands of power generation applications, including sufficient mechanical strength and electrical robustness.
The equipment was finished in a distinctive yellow color, increasing visibility within the power plant premises and supporting operator safety during operation.
Technical Specifications
- Rated voltage: 7.2 kV
- Rated current: 630 A
- Short-circuit withstand: 25 kA / 1 s
Result
- Delivery of a robust outdoor MV cabinet designed for power generation applications.
- Ensured safe and reliable interconnection of equipment within the coal-fired power plant.
- Color design contributing to improved orientation and enhanced personnel safety.
- The equipment was delivered on October 22, 2018 and successfully commissioned.
IVEP Value
This project demonstrates IVEP’s ability to deliver both simple and highly specific medium-voltage solutions with a strong focus on quality, safety, and long service life — even in cases where the project scope is limited but operational reliability remains a key requirement.
