SPECIFICATION FOR RMU
The Server Consolidation & Upgrade as well as the Enterprise Storage Systems (ESS)
projects are intended to introduce new high-end servers and storage devices to be hosted
within the Port-Harcourt Data Centre to enable it function as the EPG regional data center.
This means that the computing infrastructure for new high-end servers running SAP for
Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN) as well as Shell EP companies in Africa, would reside in
the PH Data Centre and hence make the Centre the EPG/African regional hub.
Alongside this server consolidation project, the Port-Harcourt Data Centre utilities upgrade
project was initiated to address the problem of unreliable and inadequately sized utilities
(electrical mains and standby power, air conditioning and fire detection) of related utilities
and therefore jeopardize the realization of the EPG regional hub, if utilities related to the
Data Center are left in their present condition.
The scope of the utilities upgrade has been driven by the growth in load of the Port-
Harcourt Data Centre and the requirement to provide clean, and reliable power supply to it.
This specification is for a Ring Main Unit. RMU-06 will replace the obsolete existing one in
ring C between sub-station 5 and sub-station 8A. The RMU shall have two outgoing
transformers feeders. The power rating of both connected Transformers is 500kVA.

two Network Switch Disconnectors with a rated current of 630A and two transformer
feeders. The rated current of the transformer feeders shall be at least 200A. Transformer
protection shall be established with protection relay. The Short-time withstand current shall
not be less than 20kA and the current peak withstand must be at least 50kA.
For maintenance purpose Earthing switches must be available for earthing the network
and feeder cables. The RMU must have facilities to pressure test RMU phases, the
network and the feeder cables.
