UKPN Approved Wilson Power Transformer for Data Centre

Hemel Hempstead Data Centre

Wilson Power Solutions is proud to support this data centre project by supplying our very first UKPN (UK Power Network) power transformers delivered to a data centre in Hemel Hempstead. The two 60/90/120MVA CER 132/33kV Wilson Power Transformers mark a significant milestone for the company and are designed to meet the rigorous standards of UKPN compliance, ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency.

The transformers are designed to support Continuous Emergency Rating (CER), which is suitable for load-balancing applications when one transformer can accommodate the full site load in cases of failure or scheduled maintenance.

Scope of Work

Two 60/90/120MVA CER 132/33kV Wilson Power Transformers

Data centres have become indispensable in this digital age, supporting our connected lives. These facilities are critical to businesses, governments, and individuals' lives, from powering cloud computing to enabling seamless online transactions. Data centres are power-intensive facilities that require uninterrupted electricity to operate servers, cooling systems, and other essential operations. A brief power outage can have significant consequences, from disrupted services to financial losses.

Supplying UKPN-compliant power transformers underscores our commitment to meeting the highest industry standards. Working with UKPN signifies that our products meet stringent technical and safety requirements, making them ideal for critical applications like data centres. This project demonstrates our ability to adapt to complex regulatory landscapes, providing customers with reliable solutions.

Our site team installed the transformer, including the mechanical erection, craning the transformer in position, pre-commissioning sweep frequency response test and fitting a range of ancillaries. The ancillaries include oil and winding temperature indicators, a magnetic oil gauge, a Buchholz relay and an oil-filled conservator, all fitted with alarm and trip contacts wired to a marshalling box. The marshalling boxes are fully designed and fitted in our Westland Square Leeds-based facility.
