At HFGC Energy and Power Solutions Limited, we specialize in providing a wide range of energy and power solutions to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to delivering high-quality products and services that exceed customer expectations. Our scope of work includes the following:
1) ASSEMBLY OF LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR
A low-voltage switchgear assembly is a combination of low-voltage switching devices, along with associated equipment for controlling, measuring, and signaling, all connected together with internal mechanical and electrical interconnections and structural parts. The assembly can include components such as circuit breakers, switches, fuses, contactors, and other devices that are used to control and protect electrical circuits. The assembly process involves selecting the appropriate components and arranging them in a way that meets the specific needs of the application. Here are examples of low-voltage switch-gears we assemble here in Nigeria;
A) Distribution Boards :A main distribution panel is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure1. It is used to control, distribute, and monitor the electricity supply in the facility. The panel is made up of components such as circuit breakers, fuses, relays, contactors, transformers, and more. It also houses connection points for wiring and other devices. The main distribution panel is used to control, monitor, and distribute energy from the main power source to the various electrical loads in the facility. It is the main point of control and is the most important part of the electrical system. The main distribution panel has different configurations depending on the application required by our client. These include;
I) Main Distribution panel
II) Auto Mains Failure/ Auto Transfer Switch III) Sub Distribution Panel
B) Synchronization Panel: A synchronization panel in an industry is used to synchronize multiple generators or power sources to ensure a continuous and stable power supply. The panel is designed to meet critical aspects of power system requirements, including uninterrupted or flashing restoration of power supply, along with protection for the generators and circuitry. Synchronization panels can work both manually and with an automatic synchronizing function using a programmable logic controller (PLC) for two or more generators or breakers. These panels are commonly used in heavy energy-consuming industries such as oil refineries, petrochemical refineries, steel mills, mines, cement factories, food processing, multi-storied residential colonies, hospitals, malls, hotels, and telecommunication sectors. The synchronizing panel can be attached with other applications to minimize space, maximize efficiency and made more economical. These include;
I) ON Grid Synchronizing Panel
II) OFF Grid Synchronizing Panel
III) Synchronizing Panel With AMF Function
IV) Synchronizing Panel With Distribution Board
C) Power Factor Correction Panel: A Power Factor Correction (PFC) panel is a device that is used to improve the power factor of an electrical system in an industry. Power factor is the ratio of active power (kW) to apparent power (kVA), and it represents how efficiently electrical power is being used. A low power factor indicates that a large amount of reactive power is present in the system, which can result in increased energy costs and reduced system efficiency.
A PFC panel works by compensating for reactive power and improving the power factor ratio. It does this by using capacitors to provide reactive power to the system, reducing the amount of reactive power that needs to be supplied by the utility company. This can result in reduced energy costs, improved voltage stability, and increased system efficiency.
In summary, a PFC panel is used in industries to improve the power factor of an electrical system, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced energy costs.
D) Motor Control Centers: A Motor Control Center (MCC) panel is used in large industrial and commercial applications to control motors from a central location. These panels are designed to ensure efficient and safe operation of electric motors, making them an integral part of various industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and utilities. MCC panels provide a centralized system for power distribution and control, and can include components such as circuit breakers, switches, fuses, contactors, and other devices that are used to control and protect electrical circuits. They can also include features such as pushbuttons and indicator lights to provide additional control and monitoring capabilities.
2) DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF POWER SYSTEMS
The design and construction of power systems is a complex process that involves many different stages and considerations. HFGC Energy and Power solutions, an expert in this field specializes in this field and would typically begin by conducting a detailed analysis of the customer’s needs and requirements. This would include factors such as the size and type of the facility, the expected electrical load, and any specific operational or safety requirements.
Based on this analysis, we will develop a detailed design for the power system. This would include the selection of appropriate equipment such as generators, transformers, switch-gear, and control systems. The design would also take into account factors such as the layout of the facility, the location of electrical loads, and the routing of cables and other components.
Once the design has been finalized, we move on to the construction phase. This would involve the installation of all of the necessary equipment and components, as well as the testing and commissioning of the power system to ensure that it is operating safely and efficiently.
Throughout the entire process, we work closely with the customer to ensure that their needs are being met and that any issues or concerns are addressed in a timely manner. The end result would be a reliable and efficient power system that meets the customer’s needs and expectations.
Our team of experts use the relevant design tools and software to ensure no stone is left unturned while providing the best solutions to our clients and making sure all regulations and specifications are being used to the fullest.

For example, breakers are tested to ensure that they can interrupt the flow of current within the specified time and under the specified conditions. Protection relays are tested to ensure that they can detect and respond to faults within the required time frame. Current transformers are tested to ensure that they can accurately measure the current flowing through a circuit. Voltage transformers are tested to ensure that they can accurately step down high voltages to lower levels for measurement and control purposes. Power transformers are tested to ensure that they can efficiently transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another. Testing of electrical equipment is typically carried out using specialized test equipment and procedures. The specific tests that are performed will depend on the type of equipment being tested and the standards and specifications that it must meet. Some common tests include insulation resistance testing, dielectric withstand testing, and functional testing.
C) Commissioning : Commissioning of electrical equipment is an important process that ensures that the equipment has been installed correctly and is operating as intended.
