High voltage electrical work demands a contractor with the right gear, the right training, and the right Hydro Ottawa relationships before the job starts. Carleton Electric has done this kind of work in Ottawa since 1988. Our crews are at home around 4.16 kV, 13.2 kV, and 15 kV equipment.
Carleton Electric is a specialist on high voltage and medium voltage equipment, not a generalist with extra tools. Our crews carry the test sets, hot sticks, arc-rated PPE, and protective procedures the work requires.
- Medium voltage switchgear supply, install, and changeover
- High voltage transformer install, testing, and replacement
- Primary cable terminations and splicing (PILC, XLPE, Raychem)
- Substation primary and secondary work coordinated with Hydro Ottawa
- High voltage design build and turnkey delivery
- Live changeovers planned around weekend and overnight outage windows
Every high voltage job we take on starts with a written method of procedure, a single point of contact, and a Hydro Ottawa coordination plan. Switching plans are reviewed and our Hydro Ottawa coordination is locked in before the lift gate comes off the truck.
Switching plans are reviewed, hot work permits are in place, and arc flash boundaries are calculated before mobilisation. Live changeovers are rehearsed before the planned outage window.
If you are planning a medium voltage or high voltage project, send us the scope. We will respond with a sober assessment, a Hydro Ottawa coordination plan, and a real estimate.
