Cold storage and refrigeration
Plan electrical starting, monitoring and continuity around temperature-critical operations.
Decisions before procurement
| Decision | What to establish | Evidence to bring |
|---|---|---|
| Simultaneous demand | Map compressor starts, fans, defrost and auxiliary loads using the actual sequence. | Load schedule and defrost/start sequence |
| Alarms and protection | Coordinate permissives, sensor failures and reset actions with the refrigeration controls supplier. | Interface schedule and alarm escalation |
| Recovery | Identify essential loads and staged restarts after power restoration. Electrical integration does not replace refrigeration-system design. | Backup priorities and restart sequence |
Your project brief
- Compressor/fan nameplates
- Defrost and simultaneous starting
- Temperature alarms and interfaces
- Backup priorities and environment
Confirm the actual supply and control voltage. Kenyan projects commonly specify 230/240 V single-phase or 400/415 V three-phase; the selected equipment must match the measured supply and manufacturer rating.
