WHAT MAKES THE WB E-POD DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MODULAR POWER SOLUTIONS?

 

  • We offer a true one-stop shop, plug and play package, from initial specification through to installation and ongoing maintenance. It is all managed in-house by us.
  • A fully, factory acceptance tested product prior to delivery to site, vastly reducing lead time
  • A dedicated production facility
  • We are completely vendor neutral. We offer complete flexibility of design, providing products rated and selected by the client to meet their specific site needs.

SWITCHGEAR POD

The e-POD switchboard container is the heart of the system and will be designed to totally reflect the power distribution requirements of the site and application. The e-POD concept provides the space and flexibility of design to accommodate all power distribution options be they 100% generator / UPS support for the load or a mixed essential non-essential distribution arrangement.

The switchgear POD has fully segregated MV and LV areas which are cooled or ventilated as required. The transformer and RMU area of the switchboard POD has fan assisted cooling and weather louvers. The ventilation system for RMU and transformer space is via the double louvered access doors. The louvres are suitably sized to ensure that there is adequate makeup air into the space. The cooling air is mechanically extracted via a single louvre.

  • FIRE SUPPRESSION

    Fire suppression equipment can be installed in all e-Pods, built to client specification. The selected fire suppression system can either be sourced locally or centrally as required.

UPS POD

Each “UPS e-POD” can include a UPS(s) rated to meet the specific requirements of the project. UPS packages typically come complete with high quality, stand mounted 10 year design life batteries offering a full 10-minute end of life autonomy or to meet the project requirements. The battery system also includes a battery circuit breaker and string isolation.

As a vendor neutral solution, the selection of UPS(s) manufacturer is open for the client to choose. As with all other aspects of the e – POD packages WB are able to both advise and draw on their group of top global manufacturers to find a solution to meet the requirements of the specification. WB would typically look for a high efficiency double conversion UPS design which completely isolates output power from all input power anomalies, and delivers 100% conditioned, perfect sine-wave output, even during severe power disturbance. Space is available in the container for either a single or parallel redundant UPS.

The battery system, which will be housed in a separate temperature controlled area can be complimented with full DC protection as well as inter tier protection/ isolation and battery monitoring systems. Where required all ancillary services within the WB e-Pods can be supported by a smaller UPS with integral bypass, battery circuit breaker and 10 minute battery system.
