Mugen Euro motorsport experts enlisted the services of E.P.E.S to carry out the installation of the HV equipment for a new power supply. This came about after, Mugen Euro relocated their research and development centre at the end of 2013. E.P.E.S. seamlessly worked with their sister company Bowers Electricals who supplied all the equipment for the project.
“Moving to the new premises was a huge industrial challenge for us but it has also been an opportunity to take advantage of the latest available technologies by installing the most up-to-date dynamometers and control equipment, as well as markedly improving the facilities for our staff and visitors,” he said.
E.P.E.S installed two bespoke 1500kVA Bowers BEST range transformers for Mugen Euro, as well as overhauling the company’s current 1600kVA unit and building and installing three LV distribution boards and new HV switchgear for the whole site.
The eight-week project saw the EPES/Bowers team take care of every element, from connecting the local electricity provider to the site boundary, to digging trenches and carrying out all civil engineering works.
“Our experienced engineers provided a full turnkey offering and in this case provided Mugen Euro with manufacturing, overhauling, refurbishment, installation, testing and commissioning services,” commented Michael Bowers, CEO of E.P.E.S. “Having all of these elements managed by one team meant that Mr Toyoda and his colleagues could concentrate on their fascinating projects with the confidence that their new site was being professionally managed.”
