Specialist in switchgear interlocking,
Fortress Interlocks recognises that
creating a simple interlocking
scheme is critical; no one wants to
work with a system that is too
complex to follow, operators will
simply look for shortcuts.
In many power distribution projects key interlocks are often left to the last minute to source and fit, which can result in confusion on-site during final commissioning. Larger projects also have the added complication of multiple switchgear suppliers who, unless key interlocks are specified, often supply their standard product which can be awkward and unsuitable. Involving Fortress in the initial stages of designing the interlocking system saves time and money via custom built key interlock systems that are safe and, in many cases, very simple
