Abstract

Currently the Hotel Santa Clara has an installed load of 1600kVA, which is supplied by the local network operator ELECTRIFICADORA DEL CARIBE S.A. E.S.P. The hotel is fed through a medium voltage network that enters the premises underground at a voltage level of 13.2kV ​​(circuit CHAMBACU 7). It passes through a configuration of medium-voltage cells isolated in air from which the Hotel Santa Clara and three other buildings adjacent to the hotel are fed, that is to say that the hotel houses in its facilities areas of easement in which equipment is found that are owned by ELECTRIFICADORA DEL CARIBE SA E.S.P ... Once the stage of the medium voltage cells has been passed, the electrical transformers of the project are fed through protection cells with HH fuses isolated in air, the project currently has three transformers, one of 800kVA; 13.2kV ​​/ 440V and two 400kVA transformers; 13.2kV ​​/ 208V (See Annex 1), from which the power supply of each of the project's electrical loads is derived. In addition to the above, it has two power plants which provide partial replacement to the Hotel Santa Clara. As noted in the previous description, it is evident how robust the hotel's electrical infrastructure is, this added to the importance of the hotel, make sure that the electrical network is safe, and reliable, and also have the spaces suitable according to the electrical requirements. For the above and starting from the point that the hotel facilities have been in operation for more than 20 years without having undergone any remodeling (Annex 3.), it is necessary to perform some consulting work which will allow to determine the state of the equipment of the electrical substation and the main electrical networks to general boards in order to determine in what conditions the hotel is currently operating under Colombian regulations. In addition to the above, it must be taken into account that it is clear that equipment and electrical networks complied with their useful visa cycle. This, together with the obsolescence of the technologies used in 1995, means that the electrical substation and the main electrical infrastructure of the hotel do not be according to the needs of the same
