THIS FORM IS DESIGNED TO ENABLE THE FREE ZONE AUTHORITY TO INSTALL THE
CORRECT CABLE AND EQUIPMENT TO SERVE YOUR FACILITY. IT IS THEREFORE
REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED IN DETAIL BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL
ENGINEER/CONSULTANT SO THAT A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR INSTALLATION IS
PRESENTED.
THE TOTAL CAPACITY REQUESTED IN KVA AS ENTERED ON THIS FORM WILL BE
CONSIDERED AS YOUR FULL AND FINAL REQUIREMENT. A LATER AMENDMENT
THEREON WILL GENERALLY NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE AUTHORITY. IF, FOR SOME
REASON, AN AMENDMENT BECOMES NECESSARY AT A LATER STAGE, THEN THE
AUTHORITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REAPPRAISE THE PROJECT FOR ITS
ACCEPTABILITY/ADEQUACY OF LEASE TERMS. POWER WILL BE SUPPLIED EITHER AT
380 V, 3 PH + N, 50 HZ, OR, AT 11 KV, 3 PH, 50 HZ, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE AUTHORITY,
DEPENDING ON THE CONNECTED LOAD.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT GENERALLY IS AVAILABLE ONLY ON LONG LEAD TIME. THE
AUTHORITY THEREFORE REQUIRES THIS INFORMATION AT AN EARLY STAGE TO PLAN
ITS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND OBTAIN EQUIPMENT.
THE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION WILL ONLY BE MADE UPON COMPLETION OF THE
FACILITY AND A BUILDING COMPLETION CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED. POWER IS NOT
PROVIDED DURING CONSTRUCTION.
ALL ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVES ARE TO BE LISTED. THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT THE
CAPACITY OF THE SUPPLY IS SUFFICIENT WHEN STARTING DIRECT-ON-LINE DEVICES.
FOR EXAMPLE, STARTING OF MOTORS IS LIMITED TO DRIVES OF 22 KW CAPACITY ON A
150 KVA SUPPLY, WHEREAS FOR REDUCED CURRENT STARTING METHODS, THIS LIMIT IS
40 KW. THE TOTAL INSTALLED CAPACITY OF ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVES IS LIMITED TO
64 KW ON A 150 KVA SUPPLY, INCLUDING AIR CONDITIONING. IF THERE IS A
REQUIREMENT FOR GREATER THAN 22 KW FOR DIRECT-ON-LINE STARTING, OR
GREATER THAN 40 KW FOR REDUCED CURRENT STARTING, THEN THE CAPACITY OF THE
SUPPLY WILL HAVE TO BE OF SUITABLE HIGHER RATING.
IF SPACE ON THIS FORM IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO LIST ALL EQUIPMENT, PLEASE SUBMIT
DETAILS ON A SEPARATE SHEET.
FOR LARGER INSTALLATIONS, THE AUTHORITY SHALL BE CONSULTED REGARDING
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION MEASURES.
A SPECIMEN COMPLETED FORM IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR GUIDANCE.
IF CONTINUITY OF POWER IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE FACILITY IT
SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER TO PROVIDE SUITABLE STAND-BY
POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS IN THE EVENT OF RARE MAINS SUPPLY FAILURES.
THOUGH ALL EFFORTS WILL BE MADE BY THE AUTHORITY TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY
AND CONTINUITY OF POWER SUPPLY, IT WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY, IN
WHATSOEVER MANNER, FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING OUT OF AN UNEXPECTED
DEGRADATION/FAILURE OF THE POWER SUPPLY.

AUTHORITYS REGULATIONS AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS PER DECISIONS OF ABOVE
AUTHORITY.
