Networks



11 KV Networks

  • New Networks:

New networks and feeders have been developed for the following reasons:

· Normal increase in electrical loads

· Meeting industrial needs of electricity

· Meeting needs of new commercial and residential buildings

· Enhancing connectivity between stations

· Distributing loads between stations

· Enhancing power supply in areas where it is weak

Main Projects:

  • Al-Baqa'a project of installing 11 kV overhead network, 1.5 km long; to enhance the resilience of Al-Baqa'a citizens who suffer from Israeli Occupation.
  • Al-Bouireh Project of installing 11 kV overhead network, 1.5 km long; to enhance the resilience of Al-Bouireh citizens who suffer from Israeli Occupation.
  • Installing 11 k.V underground networks for new buildings in Al-Mahawer, Eissa, Al-Duhdah, Aqabet Taffuh, Housing Bank building- Halhoul, Khallet Al-Magharbeh and Abu Di'jan areas.
  • Al-Tarbia Street Project of converting a-900m-old overhead network to underground, and connecting it to Al-Hussein Station; to expand the street and rehabilitate the area by Hebron Municipality .
  • Diwan Al-Jabari Street Project of converting 750 meters of overhead network to underground .
  • Installation of ring switches in different cables to increase efficiency and control.



Rehabilitation of 11 kV Old Networks

HEPCo adopts a decision of converting overhead networks to underground -especially near private and public properties and main streets-; because underground networks are less likely to be affected by external atmosphere and weather conditions.

In addition, in line with Hebron Municipality's decision of rehabilitating and expanding some streets in Hebron, HEPCo has converted some overhead networks to underground, rearranged its grid, used ring switches to connect cables and re-installed distribution transformers. Main projects are:

  • Al-Moqata'a Project of converting 400-meters of overhead network to underground.
  • Al-Tollab Street Project of converting 2 km of overhead network to underground.


Low Voltage Network

HEPCo technical teams have installed and maintained several low voltage networks in order to provide the best services to customers. The following are main projects:

  • Strengthening/ rehabilitating low voltage networks.
  • Converting old, single and small overhead networks to twisted cables suitable for electrical load.
  • Redistributing electrical loads between phases.
  • Strengthening power supply.
  • Installing new feeders.
  • Rehabilitating streets such as Abu Di'jan, Doirban, Tal'at Shuqair, Ibn Battuta and Al-Oddeseh Streets.
  • Relocating electrical poles and changing networks' direction for public and private benefits, and based on customers' requests.
  • Installing networks that customers pay its cost.
  • Increasing power factor of low voltage networks.



Maintenance of Medium Voltage Networks

HEPCO maintains medium voltage networks periodically by replacing/removing harmful and damaged ones, and changing their insulators. In addition, HEPCO conducts a yearly field check during September to prepare medium voltage poles for autumn and winter; and to wash insulators and remove all that stuck to networks like kites, wires and ropes.


Preparing Charts

This unit has the following tasks:

o Locating electric poles based on street schemes.

o Planning for excavation works and installation of cables.

o Setting direction of electrical networks.

o Implementing field surveys of HEPCo needs.

o Drawing schemes using AutoCAD software.

o Following-up excavations by coordinating with relevant institutions like telecommunication company, police and others when implementing road, water and sewage services .


Achievements of Civil Work Section

  • Installation and removal of electric poles of low voltage networks.
  • Installation and removal of street lighting poles.
  • Supporting the technical team in drilling works of underground cables and any other work.
