Transformer Upgrade & LV Network Improvement – DT-2779

Transformer Upgrade & LV Network Improvement

Project Completed - Q4 2025

Universal Guard was engaged to resolve voltage instability and capacity issues on the DT-2779 network. Through detailed system analysis and design, the project includes upgrading an existing 315 kVA transformer to 500 kVA and installing an additional 315 kVA unit. Long LV runs were reconfigured to reduce voltage drop and balance load distribution.

Key Deliverables:

  • PowerCAD-based voltage drop analysis Concept and detailed design (SLDs, site plans, conductor schedules)
  • SafeGrid-compliant earthing system
  • Project permitting, cost estimation, and full documentation

The upgrade enhances network reliability, capacity, and future demand readiness in line with AS/NZS 7000 and NSP standards.
