Power Distribution Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs and installs electrical power distribution for commercial and industrial buildings, coordinating HV and LV supplies with the heating, cooling and on-site power plant it delivers.
Power Distribution Belfast reflects BSH Limited's electrical engineering discipline within a whole-plantroom project. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems as required — and the electrical distribution is what connects each service to a safe, coordinated supply.
Because BSH carries the mechanical and electrical scope of a plantroom together, power distribution is specified as part of the same package: switchgear, distribution boards, cable routes and protection are designed alongside the boilers, chillers and CHP rather than left to a separate electrical subcontractor.
On a pre-packaged plantroom the distribution is part of the off-site build, wired and tested in a controlled environment so it is ready to connect on arrival rather than first-wired on site under time pressure.
Coordinating HV and LV with the plant
Power distribution covers the HV intake and LV distribution that feed a building's heating, cooling and on-site power plant. On a combination fuelled system this includes the supply to CHP generation, the electrical feeds to chillers and pumps, and the coordination of on-site power against imported supply so the plant runs as one system.
Specified with the plant, not after it
Because BSH's consultancy specialisms include electrical industrial power supplies HV & LV, the distribution is part of the same engineering package. Protection settings, interlocks and cable sizing are designed with the mechanical plant rather than added after it is installed.
Built into a pre-packaged plantroom
Where the plantroom is pre-packaged, the distribution panel and wiring are built and tested during off-site fabrication, so on-site commissioning is rapid hook-up and verification rather than first-time wiring under time pressure.
Commercial applications
Where this service applies
- Commercial and industrial plantroom power distribution
- Buildings combining CHP generation with imported supply
- Projects needing HV and LV coordination with mechanical plant
- Pre-packaged plantrooms with factory-tested distribution panels
Benefits & considerations
What to consider
- Distribution specified with the plant, not after it
- HV and LV capability in one engineering package
- Protection and interlocks designed with the mechanical plant
- Factory-tested distribution for rapid on-site commissioning

How BSH can help
Problem
When power distribution is designed separately from the mechanical and electrical plant it serves, the electrical supply is sized without real knowledge of how the CHP, boilers and chillers will actually run together. Cables are over- or under-sized, protection does not match the real load profile, and the interface between on-site generation and imported supply is left to resolve during commissioning, when it is costly to change.
Reaction
Facilities managers and building owners need power distribution designed with the plant so the whole system is coordinated from the intake onwards. A distribution scheme retrofitted to uncoordinated plant never quite matches the real demand and leaves the operator managing electrical interfaces by trial and error.
Solution
BSH designs and installs power distribution as part of its combined mechanical and electrical delivery, so HV and LV supplies are coordinated with the heating, cooling and on-site power plant from the outset. Because the right distribution strategy depends on your building and plant, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your power distribution project.
