Zambia Levy Mwanawasa Hospital Project - Ensuring Reliable 24/7 Power Supply for Critical Medical Facilities

Zambia Levy Mwanawasa Hospital Project - Ensuring Reliable 24/7 Power Supply for Critical Medical Facilities


In Africa, hospitals and medical centers face challenges such as unstable power supply, aging equipment, and insufficient operation and maintenance capabilities. Power outages may directly affect the operation of medical equipment and even endanger the lives of patients. We provide highly reliable and intelligent hospital power solutions to ensure the continuous and stable operation of medical facilities.

 

1. Core Challenges and Solutions

 

Challenge ① The original power distribution system was aging, with an average of 5 power outages per month, affecting the operation of the operating room

✅ Solution:

Replace the complete set of low voltage switchgear with integrated ATS automatic switching + generator control.

The operating room is equipped with a medical IT isolation power system.


Challenge ② Medical equipment has high requirements for power quality

✅ Solution:

Precision power distribution cabinet: with filtering and voltage stabilization functions, ensuring that sensitive equipment such as MRI, CT, and ventilators are not affected by voltage fluctuations.

UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply: Key operating rooms and ICUs are equipped with long-life UPS to prevent instantaneous power outages.


Challenge 3: High temperature, humidity and dusty environment affect the life of equipment

✅ Solution:

Dust-proof and moisture-proof distribution cabinet (IP55 and above), suitable for Africa's dusty and rainy season climate.

High temperature resistant components: Key components adopt industrial-grade protection to ensure long-term stable operation.


Challenge ④ Insufficient local operation and maintenance capabilities

✅ Solution:

Remote monitoring + local training: Deployment of intelligent power monitoring system (SCADA/IoT), remote diagnosis by domestic experts, and training of local electricians.

Preventive maintenance plan: regular inspections and infrared thermal imaging detection to detect hidden dangers in advance.

Achievements: 24-hour power supply, 40% reduction in operation and maintenance costs. Power supply reliability increased to 99.9%, and no surgery interruptions due to power problems occurred throughout the year.
