Project Summary

The Souk Qaryat is a mixed‑use development requiring highly reliable and optimized electrical power systems. DCPS Middle East was commissioned to conduct a comprehensive power quality assessment, inspection, and capacitor bank maintenance in the main electrical distribution panels to improve power factor performance and prevent electrical failures.

With increasing demand in electrical loads and challenges related to reactive power management, our team executed a thorough evaluation, corrective repairs, and testing to ensure optimal system performance and compliance with UAE electrical standards.

Scope of Work

Our team carried out the following key services:

✅ Power Quality Evaluation
• Thorough inspection of all capacitor banks serving critical electrical loads
• Verification of connections, labels, and overall equipment condition

✅ Testing & Diagnostics
• Utilized advanced multimeters and power factor testing tools
• Recorded voltage, current, and reactive power readings
• Assessed individual capacitor health and network performance

✅ Preventive & Corrective Maintenance
• Identified burnt and degraded cables in capacitor circuits
• Replaced damaged connectors and heat‑resistant wiring
• Tightened loose terminals and ensured secure connections

✅ Safety & Compliance Checks
• De‑energized circuits prior to physical maintenance
• Ensured compliance with safety guidelines (gloves, PPE, PPE boots)
• Power factor calibration to improve energy efficiency

Technical Highlights

📌 Capacitor Banks Serviced:
• EPCOS High‑Quality Power Factor Correction Capacitors
• Rated for industrial electrical panels and load balancing

📌 Tools & Equipment Used:
• Digital clamp meter / multimeter for accurate power measurements
