About the Project
In a hotel, the electrical infrastructure is the invisible part of the guest experience: room air conditioning and lighting, high-power kitchen equipment, laundry, pool and spa systems, lifts and hot water production all run at the same time. The load profile swings widely with season and occupancy. Because guests notice even a brief outage, faults must stay local and critical services must be picked up quickly by a standby source.
For a hotel of this scale the typical architecture is a split main distribution board of about 2 × 2,500 A fed by two transformers. Guest rooms, kitchens and mechanical systems are supplied from separate feeder groups. Motor control centres manage chillers, pumps and fan motors, while floor boards distribute power to the rooms. A generator of approximately 1,000 kVA carries lifts, emergency lighting, kitchen refrigeration and security loads, and compensation and lighting panels support efficiency.
Devpan Scope and Switchboard Architecture
Devpan’s scope covers the hotel’s low-voltage distribution, from the main board to floor, mechanical and lighting panels.
- Main distribution board (DevPanel): 2 × 2,500 A split busbar with coupler, 65 kA / 1 s, Form 3b – Form 4a, generator transfer.
- Motor control centres (DevControl): Feeders for chillers, pumps and ventilation fans.
- Floor and department boards (DevBox): Distribution for guest floors, kitchen, laundry and spa areas.
- Power factor correction panels (DevComp): Detuned reactive power compensation.
- Lighting panels (DevPower): Lobby, restaurant, facade, landscape and emergency lighting circuits.

Devpan Products Used in This Project
Project-Specific Engineering Topics
Occupancy-driven load profile
Load varies with season and occupancy; transformer and busbar ratings are chosen economically through diversity analysis.
Kitchen and laundry
High-power kitchen and laundry equipment is fed from separate outgoers so an appliance fault does not affect guest areas.
Guest comfort
Lifts, emergency lighting and critical refrigeration are supplied from a generator-backed priority busbar.
Lighting scenes
Lobby and restaurant lighting is managed from scene-controlled panels according to the time of day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the installed power for Concorde Hotel?
For a hotel of this scale the installed power is approximately 3,200 kVA, with a typical transformer configuration of 2 × 1,600 kVA. The main busbar is typically rated 2 × 2,500 A; the MV connection lies in the 10 – 34.5 kV range depending on the network, and the generator is around 1 × 1,000 kVA.
Why use an MCC in a hotel?
Mechanical system motors such as chillers, pumps and fans are controlled from one point, simplifying maintenance and integration with the building automation.
Which hotel loads does the generator supply?
Typically lifts, emergency and escape lighting, fire systems, kitchen refrigeration, reception and IT systems take priority.
