New contract with NEC Sudan 

Lucy Switchgear has secured a contract for over £1 million to supply Automation products and services to the National Electricity Corporation (NEC) of Sudan.  This contract forms part of a continuous investment programme by NEC in the automation of their 11 and 33kV distribution networks.  Automated SABRE ring main units, incorporating the Gemini-RTU 2, will be installed on the 11kV cable network around the capital Khartoum, together with the remotely controlled load break switches, sectionalisers and auto-reclosers in the surrounding overhead networks.  The service component of the package includes intense training by Lucy Switchgear on product installation and commissioning.  All automated locations will be linked to the Control Centre in Khartoum through the GSM mobile phone network with the deployment of the DNP3 communication protocol.
