Lighting Design, Connectors, Industrial Overhead Fan Installation (and More)
This electrical installation required mass planning and precision installation. From the engineered lighting plan, building strip-out, dismantling and moving industrial fans, installing light connectors, safety devices, power, data, to task lighting – we did it all.
Before commencing the month-long project, we prepared lighting schematics. Our team also dismantled huge industrial fans at the Chullora Australia Post site. The building was stripped back as the existing cabling and wiring were outdated.
Industrial Warehouse Electrical Installation
Industrial Fans and Lights
We installed a total of 42 lights in the warehouse plus six emergency spotlights. Three power factor (PE Cells) Photo electric cells and associated control wiring were installed, in addition to eight jumbo (40m) exits. The massive 8m industrial fans we dismantled were installed throughout the warehouse to assist with circulation.
Power Connections, Wiring and Circuits
An AC isolator was installed to allow the building users to completely disconnect the air-conditioning. Power was connected to the CO panel as well as installation of one communications outlet.
Distribution Boards
When we were stripping out the old electrical distribution boards (EDB), we found that some could be re-used. Two new EDBs were installed in addition to seven new circuits which were connected to the second EDB:
• 48 pole board with a 100-amp switch (EDB-1).
• 48 pole distribution board with a 225-amp switch (EDB-2).
Other circuits included six 3-phase and 23 RCD circuits.
Power and Breakers
We installed seven double power points in the communications room. 31 double power points (Clipsal S2000) were installed in the office as well as seven single-phase 20-amp AC isolators. A 15-amp breaker suitable for clocks, lights and small electrical items was also fitted to the office.
Data Points and Cables
15 double data points were fitted in the office in addition to a fibre link cable and two data cabinets. The two data cabinets/racks installed were a 45RU and an 18RU data cabinet.
Task and Emergency Lighting
23 new long lights covered lighting requirements for the office. Emergency lighting was provided in the form of five spitfire battery-powered emergency lights and an exit light. Six light switches and six motion sensors mounted throughout the office ensure easy control of lighting.
Engineered Lighting Designs – Schematics
For this project, we were given engineering plans to which we added electrical components. The plans were then forwarded to the builder.
Also, the As-Built Diagrams are provided to the client at the end of the project.
Supply: Large Industrial Fans – ‘Big Ass Fans’
The brand, ‘Big Ass Fans’ are often used in large industrial warehouses. The Australia Post site in Chullora had two 8m fans available so, we were able to dismantle those and relocate them to Brookvale.
