Eaton Electric Limited - Eaton makes light work of distribution
at Orsett Hall
 Ability
to work with the electrical contractor in developing solutions to
the energy metering and lighting control needs of a new
multi-purpose conference and function centre helped Eaton win the
order for electrical distribution equipment and lighting controls
for the new Orsett Hall Hotel Pavilion near Grays in Essex.
A gross floor area of just over 500 sq m, dictated the need for
metering of principal loads to account for energy use. This would
have added considerably to the cost if the boards had been specially
built to incorporate separate metering of lighting and small power
loads.
However, Eaton offered the contractor, Essex Electrical Services, a
split load meter pack which sits below two of its Memshield 2
distribution boards to provide separate metering of supplies to each
board. At Orsett Hall there are two 200A 24-way TPN boards, one
serving lighting loads and the other serving single-phase and
three-phase loads including ring circuits, air-handling plant,
kitchen equipment etc. In addition to the price advantage of using a
ready-made meter pack, there was an installation advantage in that
the two Memshield 2 boards are fed by a single incoming cable via a
rotary disconnect switch.
Eaton was also able to provide a cost-effective solution to lighting
control needs in the Pavilion using its Studio 2 and Studio 3
dimming systems. The lighting installation includes a mixture of
high-frequency compact fluorescent lighting and low voltage tungsten
halogen downlighters. The main function area, the 300-seat Grahame
Thomas Pavilion is used for a variety of purposes including wedding
receptions, christenings, dinner dances and school proms. This
called for a flexible lighting control scheme. The Pavilion is also
designed so that it can be sub-divided into two separate areas.
Eaton drew up a scheme that offers four different pre-determined
lighting “scenes” in each area. A simple key-operated switch allows
these to be operated as a single integrated system or as two
systems. Special care had to be taken to avoid problems with colour
mis match between the CFL and LV lighting when dimmed. In addition a
control, linked to the fire alarm system, brings all lighting up to
maximum power in the event of a fire alarm.
Elsewhere in the installation, Eaton supplied a 400A changeover
switch at the main supply position to allow for the later addition
of an emergency generator. There are a number of Glasgow
fuse-switch-disconnectors and Exel switch-disconnector-fuse units
and two smaller Memshield 2 distribution boards in the complex.
Eaton wiring accessories were also specified for use throughout the
building.
Trig Hales, Project Manager with Essex Electrical Services, says “We
normally use Eaton MEM equipment if we can because it is reliable
and we get excellent service from their Area Sales Engineer, David
Rayner. In this case he helped us satisfy the requirements for
energy metering and provided a suitable lighting control scheme.”
EES is at Unit 3 Thurrock Commercial Centre, Juliet Way, Aveley,
South Ockendon, RM15 4YD (Tel: 01708 869252).
The new Orsett Hall Pavilion was originally planned to open in May
2008 alongside the 17th Century Grade 2 listed Orsett Hall Hotel.
But after fire destroyed the Hotel in May 2007 the construction
programme was bought forward. The Pavilion was opened in November
2007. A new 40-bed four-star hotel, in the style of the old Orsett
Hall Hotel, is now being built.
