Industrial Electrical Installation Services in Ghana

What Industrial Electrical Installation Services Cover

Industrial electrical installation services cover two distinct but interconnected categories of work that together form the complete electrical infrastructure of an industrial facility.

The first category is the wiring of the facility itself. This covers the installation of all fixed wiring from the incoming supply through the high and low voltage distribution system, through motor control centres and distribution boards, and out to every final circuit serving lighting, power outlets, and fixed equipment across the facility. Every cable, conductor, containment system, and protective device forms part of this permanent electrical infrastructure.

The second category is the installation of electrical equipment within that infrastructure. This covers the physical installation, connection, and commissioning of motors, generators, transformers, control panels, automation systems, HVAC equipment, compressed air systems, conveyor drives, process machinery, and all other electrically powered equipment that the facility operates.

Mega Solution Electrical Engineering delivers both categories of industrial electrical installation services in Ghana as a complete, integrated service, ensuring the wiring infrastructure and the equipment it serves are engineered and installed to work together as a reliable, compliant system.

Industrial Electrical Installation Services: What Mega Solution Provides

Mega Solution Electrical Engineering Ltd provides a comprehensive range of industrial electrical installation services across all stages of a facility’s lifecycle.

High and Low Voltage Power Distribution Installation

Mega Solution Electrical Engineering designs and installs high and low voltage power distribution systems for industrial facilities, covering incoming supply arrangements, main switchboards, transformer installations, power factor correction systems, and low voltage distribution to motor control centres, distribution boards, and final circuits throughout the facility.

Power distribution design for industrial facilities requires detailed engineering calculation. Engineers calculate maximum demand, apply diversity factors, size busbars and cables for the full fault level of the installation, and specify protective devices that provide discrimination at every level of the distribution system. Discrimination means that in the event of a fault, only the protective device immediately upstream of the fault operates, leaving the rest of the facility in service.

Motor Control Centre Installation

A motor control centre (MCC) is a centralised assembly of motor starters, protective devices, and control equipment that manages the starting, stopping, speed control, and protection of electric motors across an industrial facility. Mega Solution Electrical Engineering installs motor control centres for all sizes of industrial installation, from small facilities with a handful of motors to large plants with hundreds of driven loads.

MCC installation covers mechanical fixing and levelling of the enclosure, connection of incoming supply and outgoing motor feeder cables, installation of motor starters, soft starters, and variable speed drives, wiring of control circuits, and commissioning and testing of every starter and protective device in the assembly.

Industrial Wiring and Cable Installation

Industrial facilities require cable management systems that protect cables against the mechanical damage, heat, chemical exposure, and electromagnetic interference that industrial environments generate. Mega Solution Electrical Engineering installs steel wire armoured (SWA) cables, mineral insulated cables (MICC), and PVC and XLPE insulated cables in cable trays, cable ladders, conduit, and ducting systems specified for the environmental conditions of each area of the facility.

Cable installation in industrial facilities also requires correct segregation of power cables, control cables, and instrumentation cables to prevent electromagnetic interference from power circuits affecting the signal quality of control and instrumentation systems.

Emergency lighting installation covers the installation of maintained and non-maintained emergency luminaires, central battery systems, and the testing and certification required by L.I. 2008 and BS 5266, the standard for emergency lighting in buildings.

Earthing and Lightning Protection Installation

Industrial facilities generate high fault currents and carry sensitive process control equipment that requires a stable earth reference voltage to operate correctly. Mega Solution Electrical Engineering designs and installs industrial earthing systems that meet both the safety requirements of L.I. 2008 and the functional earthing requirements of the facility’s process control and instrumentation systems.

Lightning protection installation for industrial facilities covers the installation of air termination networks, down conductors, and earth termination systems in accordance with BS EN 62305, protecting the facility’s structure, electrical infrastructure, and process equipment against direct lightning strikes and induced surges.

Inspection, Testing, and Certification

Every industrial electrical installation Mega Solution Electrical Engineering completes undergoes full inspection and testing in accordance with L.I. 2008 before the installation enters service. Testing covers insulation resistance, continuity of protective conductors, earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation, prospective fault current measurement, and functional testing of all protective devices and control systems. Mega Solution Electrical Engineering issues an Electrical Installation Certificate on satisfactory completion, confirming the installation meets the requirements of L.I. 2008.
