Scheduled

Work Window: 24/08/26 8:00 UTC - 28/08/26 17:00 UTC
Duration in Days: 5 Days

Purpose of Project
UKPN isolation of 132KV Transformer NUTM T2 to carry out emergency Tap Changer fault repair.

Systems Impacted
No building impact is anticipated. All load will be transferred seamlessly onto 132KV Transformer NUTM T1 with no loss of power to customers.

Method of Procedure
The switching activities will be coordinated between UK Power Networks and Global Switch via telephone contact. All switching will be carried out by UK Power Networks to the Global Switch approved Method of Procedure to ensure a seamless operation when transferring load from one transformer to the other.

Work Permits:
This operation is carried out remotely by UK Power Networks and no permits are required.

Risk Analysis
The switching operations will be carried out by UK Power Networks Control and will be seamless to the Global Switch infrastructure. All switching operations are carried out upstream of London East incoming supplies and therefore the building will remain DRUPS/UPS/Generator backed at all times.

Mitigation Measures
No switching operations will be permitted unless both UK Power Networks and Global Switch are happy that the switching does not present any risk to the building load.

Back out Plan
In the event of an issue during switching Global Switch will request UKPN to abort activities to allow NUTM T2 to be returned to service. No back out is available once works have started.
