Switchgear & Motor Control Centres Manufactured in Nairobi for Kenya

Nairobi Power Engineers Ltd is Kenya's switchgear manufacturer, designing, building and type-testing low-voltage distribution switchgear, motor control centres, APFC capacitor banks and ATS panels at our 27 Baricho Road, Industrial Area factory in Nairobi since 1984. We serve Kenyan commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects from brief to handover, engineering each assembly to IEC 61439-1 & 2 and around the load schedule, site environment and operating priorities. KPLC-compliant single-phase, three-phase and CT meter boards, motor control, power-factor correction, standby transfer and maintenance are all supported from one engineering desk. We confirm scope, standards evidence, programme and delivery with the quotation, and keep drawings, settings and test records as part of the work.

Serving Kenya with IEC 61439 type-tested switchgear, motor control, power quality and technical electrical supplies — engineered from Nairobi to the wider market.

Frequently Asked Questions In Kenya

Practical answers to the questions buyers in Kenya ask before specifying or quoting.

We design, build and type-test LV distribution boards, MCCs, APFC banks and ATS panels at our Baricho Road, Industrial Area factory in Nairobi — assembled to IEC 61439-1 & 2.
Panels are designed and verified to IEC 61439-1 & 2 with KS 2573 applied where the project requires it. Meter boards are built to KPLC metering requirements. Confirm the compliance evidence your scope needs.
Yes. Single-phase multi-way, three-phase multi-user and CT metering panels are manufactured to current Kenya Power metering specifications.
Lead time runs from drawing approval; standard distribution boards are faster than Form 4b lineups with imported ACBs. We confirm the programme with the quotation.
