Poultry Farm

This Poultry Farm wanted to add 2 additional chicken coops on the premises.

Where: North West Province

Background:

The supply transformer could not accommodate the additional load. Although this was a very successful farmer, the upgrade of his electrical supply would be so exorbitant which made the ROI not so attractive.

The Power Factor on this Farm was very low and therefore installing a 100 kvar PFC panel allowed us to free up sufficient capacity on the supply transformer to add 2 additional coops of 50,000 chickens.

Cost: R30,000
The resulting turnover and profit resulted in a return on investment of under 2 months.

ROI: < 2 Months
