Pacific
Electrical equipment for Pacific Island utilities.
Transformers, switchgear, lines hardware, cables and metering for island power networks, specified for coastal and cyclone conditions and delivered from New Zealand and Australia.
Supplying island networks
Delstar supplies power utilities, independent power producers and contractors across the Pacific Islands: Fiji, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Pitcairn Islands, Norfolk Island, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Palau, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands. Island networks are small, isolated and exposed to salt, heat and cyclones, and every delivery travels by sea, so equipment has to be right the first time and built to last.
Built for island conditions
- Corrosion: coatings, galvanising and stainless steel fittings specified for marine environments up to corrosion category C5.
- Cyclones and heat: poles, crossarms and fittings matched to high wind loads, and equipment rated for high ambient temperatures and humidity.
- Standards: 50 Hz equipment to IEC and AS/NZS, and 60 Hz equipment to ANSI and IEEE for networks that use them.
- Small and hybrid grids: equipment for diesel, solar and battery networks, from generation and grid connection through to the meter.
What we supply
- Transformers: pole and pad mounted distribution transformers, power transformers, voltage regulators and oil treatment plants.
- Switchgear: ring main units, reclosers, load break switches, MV switchgear and LV switchboards.
- Lines hardware: poles, crossarms, insulators, drop-out fuses and surge arresters.
- Cable accessories and cables and conductors: terminations, joints and MV and LV cables.
- Metering: single and three phase smart and prepay meters with STS, communications, AMI systems and meter test equipment.
- Substation equipment: disconnectors, earth switches and surge arresters.
Delivery and support
We coordinate sea freight, consolidate orders into full containers where possible, and prepare the shipping and customs documents. Our engineers can install and commission equipment, test and assess existing assets, and train local crews, with spare parts and support through the life of the equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Does Delstar supply electrical equipment to Pacific Island utilities?
Yes. Delstar supplies transformers, switchgear, lines hardware, cables, cable accessories and metering to power utilities and contractors across the Pacific, from our offices in Auckland and Queensland.
Can equipment be built for coastal, tropical and cyclone conditions?
Yes. Equipment can be specified for marine corrosion up to category C5, with heavier coatings, stainless steel fittings, sealed tanks and enclosures, and lines hardware matched to cyclone wind loads and high temperatures and humidity.
Do you supply to IEC, AS/NZS and ANSI standards?
Yes. We supply 50 Hz equipment to IEC and AS/NZS standards, and 60 Hz equipment to ANSI and IEEE standards for networks that use them, so new equipment matches what is already in service.
Do you supply prepay electricity meters for island networks?
Yes. We supply single phase and three phase prepayment meters with STS token entry, smart meters with plug in communications modules, and the head end and vending systems that run them.
How is equipment shipped to the islands?
We coordinate sea freight from the manufacturer or from New Zealand and Australia, consolidate orders into full containers where possible, prepare the shipping and customs documents, and deliver to port or site.
Can you help with installation, commissioning and testing?
Yes. Our engineers can install and commission equipment, carry out testing and condition assessment, and train local crews, or support your own team remotely.
