SWT installed a 1.65MVA standby diesel generator, able to deliver 1320KW of power. The 12 cylinder Perkins engine is housed in a 40ft sound attenuated and weatherproof canopy. SWT engineers provided an 11kV Medium Voltage fully synchronised seamless power transfer solution allowing routine, non-disruptive testing and eliminating break before make plant return from generator power (following a power failure).
