Manufacturing & Industrial Power Systems

Telligen Energy delivers heavy-duty industrial electrical engineering for Kenyan factories — power quality audits, protection relay coordination, Motor Control Centre and VFD design, active power factor correction, and grid-tied solar microgrids engineered to run safely alongside heavy motors. Critical PLCs and SCADA are protected by in-line industrial UPS so production never stops on a switchover.

Can solar really run safely alongside heavy motors?

Yes — that is precisely what the feasibility stage engineers. The PV array, inverters and controls are sized and configured around the motor fleet's inrush behaviour, so high solar penetration never destabilises production.

What stops one fault from blacking out the whole plant?

Protection relay coordination. Breakers are programmed for selective discrimination, so a fault trips only the affected circuit and the rest of the plant keeps running.

Why does the power factor bank switch off on generator power?

A hardwired interlock takes the PFC bank offline the moment the plant transfers to generator supply, protecting the generator's alternator from over-excitation and voltage instability.
