Value Delivered
Forest Electric New Jersey (Forest NJ) executed a total transformer replacement while maintaining uninterrupted hospital power at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) in New Brunswick. We have completed a variety of projects at RWJUH, and our extensive knowledge of the building and its electrical systems was essential to this project’s success.
Client Objectives
RWJUH New Brunswick needed to replace two existing transformers after the units began failing operational tests. As the existing equipment was supplying critical and emergency power systems, RWJUH needed the new installation to take place without power interruption.

- Installation of two 7.5MVA transformers operating at 26.4KV
- Relocation of two existing 26.4KV pad-mounted switches
- Furnishing and installation of conduit duct banks to relocated switches and new transformers
- Furnishing and installation of 26.4KV primary and 4160V secondary feeder cables
