MV Distribution Board Replacement
High-Voltage Switchgear Upgrades
Medium Voltage (MV) distribution boards form the core of industrial power grids. Replacing legacy or underperforming switchgear is critical to maintaining operational safety, preventing severe arc flash hazards, and avoiding costly facility downtime.
At Motionproof , we specialize in the engineering, safe decommissioning, and complete replacement of medium voltage assets across Kenya and East Africa.
Critical Replacement Factors
-
Arc Flash & Safety Mitigation: Modernizing legacy switchgear with arc-resistant casings and gas-insulated systems drastically reduces electrical fire and injury risks.
-
Modern Load Sizing: Upgrading to advanced Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCBs) or Gas-Insulated SF_6 switchgear ensures your distribution boards handle heavy industrial startup currents without tripping.
-
Smart Grid Integration: Installing boards equipped with intelligent metering and protection relays simplifies fault detection, saving hours of troubleshooting and operational downtime.
Our Core Engineering Workflow
-
Electrical Audit: A rigorous assessment of site footprints, protection coordination, and load profiles to design custom-tailored distribution blueprints.
-
Precision Integration: Safe decommissioning and expert installation of the new MV switchgear, ensuring secure busbar coupling and control cabling.
-
Commissioning & Testing: Strict pre-activation checks including insulation resistance, contact resistance, and relay coordination verification ensuring 100% regulatory compliance.
Motionproof is a premier engineering contractor headquartered in Kenya, providing expert MV/LV power distribution, industrial electrical installations, and building services (MEP) across the East African region.
