LV and HV Power Connections Up to 132kV
PSS Power works across low voltage and high voltage networks, supporting new connections, network upgrades and private electrical infrastructure throughout the UK.
Our teams manage the practical and technical requirements of LV and HV power connections, with capability spanning LV, 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV. Each HV connection is coordinated around the network, site and programme, through installation, testing, commissioning and handover.
Connecting Sites Safely
at Every Voltage
The requirements of a connection change with the voltage, network and environment. An LV supply for a smaller development calls for a different approach to high voltage connections serving major industrial sites, infrastructure or private networks.
PSS Power assesses what is needed at each stage, coordinating people, equipment and network requirements to create a clear route towards energisation. This gives customers experienced support across both LV and HV power connections, without losing sight of the wider project.
Our LV and HV Connection Capabilities
Our teams support the installation and commissioning of electrical infrastructure across multiple voltage levels.
LV Connections
Installation and connection support for low voltage systems serving developments, commercial sites and private networks.
11kV and 33kV connections
HV power connections incorporating substations, switchgear, cabling and associated electrical infrastructure.
66kV & 132kV connections
Specialist support for higher-voltage projects, including the installation, testing and commissioning of equipment and associated HV electrical infrastructure.
Substations and switchgear
Installation of substations, transformers, switchgear and protection equipment designed around the needs of the network and site.
More Than the Point of Connection
A successful HV connection depends on every part of the infrastructure working together. Cable routes, substations, switchgear, protection systems and earthing all need to align with the connection design and network requirements.
Our wider capability allows PSS Power to coordinate the supporting HV electrical infrastructure, drawing on in-house expertise across civils, cable installation, substations, overhead lines and commissioning. Customers gain one accountable team with a clear view of the complete connection.
Built Around your Network and Site
Some high voltage connections form part of a new grid connection. Others extend an existing private network, increase capacity or replace ageing infrastructure. The right delivery approach depends on the site, available supply, operational requirements and planned future use.
The Route to Energisation
Define the connection
Review the required capacity, voltage, site conditions, network requirements and programme.
Coordinate the design
Align the electrical design, equipment specification and supporting HV electrical infrastructure.
Install the infrastructure
Complete the cable, substation, switchgear and associated works needed for the HV connection.
Test and commission
Carry out the inspections, testing and commissioning required ahead of energisation.
Handover
Complete the agreed documentation and coordinate the final handover of the installation.
