Since 1993, Diesel Electric Services (Pty) Ltd has specialised in the design, manufacture, delivery, installation, commissioning and after-sales service of power generation equipment.
As a bespoke engineering, procurement and construction partner, our speciality is found in turnkey solutions, focusing on medium voltage infrastructure, backup power solutions, low voltage distribution and large power reticulation.
Diesel Electric Services is one of the only EPC’s that has a fully type-tested design at 50 kA, to IEC / SANS 60439.1 and a partially type-tested design at 70 kA, to the same standard. This coupled with the additional test required by IEC / SANS 61439-1/2/3, empowers us to issue a product that is self-certified to comply strictly to IEC / SANS 61439-1/2/3, as detailed in the standard.
We are currently working on various projects and have a continuous involvement and presence on site after completion, some of them on a daily basis, with regards to maintenance as well as daily operation of the plants.
We are convinced that the reason why we can offer the level of engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and after-sales service that we do, is solely due to the stability of our staff complement. This fact has enabled us to grow the company by knowledge transfer, incorporating the “old” school into the “new” school work ethic.
With experience in both diesel and gas-powered solutions, incorporating static UPSes when needed, our strength is in experience associated with site-specific projects.
Diesel Electric Services was awarded the turnkey contract for the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) to support critical power infrastructure. This contract included changes to the existing 400V distribution boards which was necessary to accommodate the new Uninterrupted Power Supply systems in accordance with IEC / SANS 60439 and 61439. Diesel Electric Services was also responsible for all the electrical cable infrastructure changes, supply and install of upgraded cabling to the Uninterrupted Power Supply and from the Uninterrupted Power Supply to the critical infrastructure load boards.
The specification required the supply of fully Modular Uninterruptable Power Supplies which effectively means that the several power modules sharing the load including the static switch module of the UPS can be replaced whilst the UPS is operational. With this modular approach, the UPS unit provide internal redundancy on the power modules. Should one became faulty, it will disconnect itself from the main bus and the load will be shared by the remaining healthy power modules. With regard to the battery technology, the system is supported by Lithium-Ion battery technology.
The uninterrupted backup power solution was successfully commissioned in May 2023 and has been maintained by Diesel Electric Services to date.
