POWERING PARADISE
C-TEC ’ s life-safety systems have been installed in an exclusive resort in the Maldives for use when mains power is not available .
Formerly a melon plantation , Velaa Private Island is a high-end holiday destination with 47 guest villas , a Michelin-starred restaurant , nine-hole golf course and a private submarine .
The resort is located in an area prone to adverse weather conditions , and often must be reliant on diesel generators rather than mains . C-TEC ’ s high-performance EN54-certified switch-mode power supplies have been installed to power the life safety systems on the island when necessary .
With deep discharge battery protection and EN54 compliant reporting of battery impedance faults , the BF362-5 units are supplied in durable metal boxes and include singlepole volt-free changeover relays that switch for any fault condition .

Working with main contractor SDC , Munro Building Services was tasked with the mechanical and electrical installation for the three-storey , 40,000 sq ft building , which has capacity for at least 600 people on a hot-desking / agile working basis . The company chose Unitrunk ’ s RIS ( Rapid Installation System ) EasyConnect cable basket to aid faster installation of power , data , security , fire alarm and building management system cabling , both under the raised access floor and within the exposed soffit of each storey . EasyConnect was also used to link power supplies on each floor via risers .
In addition to the EasyConnect basket used at high and low level , Munro Building Services also used Unitrunk ’ s single compartment trunking to link the power supply to the distribution board from the risers , provide power networks in the corridors and deliver power distribution on each storey .
