A failed transformer at an automotive plant was exactly the kind of challenge that Sunbelt Solomon’s emergency response was designed to meet. And the Sunbelt Solomon team came through with a solution that saved the day and kept temporary operating costs as low as possible.
The Client:
A re-rent partner offering services including major power and HVAC equipment, this client has been a go-to electrical equipment services company across the US for the past 25 years. They are an experienced team, dedicated to providing excellent customer service and high-quality equipment.
The Challenge:
The call came in over the weekend: a Florida-based automotive plant specializing in the development and production of complex metal and hybrid structures was experiencing a power outage because of a failed transformer. They initially requested a mobile generator to get them back online quickly and to keep things running reliably until they were able to source, deliver, and install a new transformer – not a quick job in the current climate.
Our Approach:
As soon as we received the call, the Sunbelt Solomon team leaped into action. The first order of business was to connect the plant manager with one of our trusted partners – this partner made a site visit to the plant, assessed the situation, determined the equipment requirements, and later partnered with Sunbelt Solomon’s field service team to install the temporary solution that Sunbelt Solomon provided.
Although the initial request was for a generator, the Sunbelt Solomon team determined that a temporary transformer would be a more cost-effective and sustainable solution. We worked with our project partner to source and install a 2500kVA 27.6kV-600V transformer, 130 feet of pre-terminated 28kV teck cable, and 50’ of LV camlok cable.
The Result:
Thanks to Sunbelt Solomon’s quick response and solid working relationship with our partner, we were able to provide a cost-saving solution that allowed the auto plant to resume their operations in a timely manner.
