A hot panel doesn’t announce itself. It just runs 68°C, then trips at 2pm, then takes your PLC with it. In Athi River we found a 48Ω earth (need ≤5Ω), a neutral at 18A on a 10A cable and zero RCDs on a 30mA board — all ‘passed’ visually. One week: earthing 3.2Ω, PFC 150kVAR, 18 MCBs resized, 12 RCDs added. Penalties KES 120k/mo → 0, outage zero since, 32% energy saving on the 7-day log.
Dynatec is EBK and EPRA licensed, NCA Electrical, IEEE & BS 7671. We don’t just pull cable — we do load studies, 7-day logs, thermography and EBK stamps so you pass KEBS/NCA first time (95% pass rate). And we stay — 24/7 standby, 4h response for contract clients in Nairobi metro.
Kenya Power doesn’t forgive power factor. Neither does an arc flash. We fix both. Most plants oversize the genset and throttle, or buy PFC and never tune it. We right-size, then prove it under load.
The bill tells the truth. In our audits, 61% of factories in Nairobi Industrial Area pay 20–35% in KPLC power factor penalties they call ‘fixed cost’. It isn’t fixed — it’s a KES 90k–150k/month donation to KPLC for a 150kVAR capacitor bank you should have tuned. We log for 7 days, size PFC to 0.96 lagging, and guarantee penalty removal in writing. Most clients pay back the PFC in 4–7 months, then bank 30%+ savings every month after.
Safety is not a sticker. A 68°C hot spot on a 100A MCCB is 27°C over ambient — 2× the 10°C limit before you de-rate or replace. A neutral at 18A on a 10A cable is a fire in slow motion. We thermograph every joint under load, megger every cable (>100MΩ), test every RCD (30mA in 40ms), and log earthing quarterly (≤5Ω, we hit 3.2Ω in Athi). You get test certs, not a photo of a panel.
Backup is not a generator — it’s a sequence. ATS that takes 22 seconds instead of 8 seconds is 14 seconds of PLC reboot and product scrap. We do AMF/ATS sync in 8s, test under load with load bank, and failover drill at 2am if you want. Fuel, battery, coolant — we checklist it. When mains fails at 11:47pm, you don’t call us — it just works. That’s why Athi has had zero outage since install, and why their insurer cut premium 12%.
You don’t need more cable. You need the right cable, the right breaker, the right earth, and a file that makes KEBS nod. That’s Dynatec electrical — EBK-stamped, EPRA-licensed, load-proven, and on standby when you need us.

How It Works — No Surprises
From audit to handover in 4 steps
01
Log for 7 days — see it on paper
Clamp every phase at MCC/PCC (3-phase loggers), harmonic analysis, PF, earth (fall-of-potential), and thermography. You get a 15-page load report with graphs — neutral current, hot spots, PF by hour, earth value. No opinions, just data.
02
Design & stamp — EBK, BS 7671
EBK single-line, cable sizing with derating (temp, grouping, depth), PFC sizing to 0.96, MCC/PCC spec, earthing design (rods + mat + chem if rocky), protection coordination (MCB/MCCB type, RCD 30mA). Stamped, logged, filed.
03
Install & test — every joint, every cable
MCC/PCC/PFC/earthing/genset/ATS — installed by EPRA Class A electricians, megger, polarity, RCD, earth loop, thermography under load, load bank for genset (0–100% step). No energization without test cert.
04
Energize & stay — failover proven
Failover test under load (mains → genset 8s, back 5s), harmonics after PFC, training (LOTO, arc flash PPE, lockable isolators), 1-year service, quarterly thermography + earth test. Your file grows, not your risk.

Why You Called Us
If any of these sound familiar, we’ve seen it 200+ times — and fixed it.
These aren’t “occasional issues”. They’re the weekly cost you stopped counting. Each one has a KES value hidden in your bill, your stops log, or your audit file. We make it visible in the 1-day audit, then remove it.
!
KPLC power factor penalties 20–35% of bill — paying KES 120k/mo for a capacitor you don’t tune
!
Phase imbalance, hot MCCBs (68°C), recurring trips — thermal runaway you can’t see
!
Generator not syncing, ATS 22s, neutral overloaded — backup that fails when you need it
!
Earthing 48Ω (need ≤5Ω) — shock, PLC damage, and KEBS fail
!
No thermography, no test certs, no single-line — audit findings and insurer pushback
!
Motors throttling, no VFDs — 30–50% energy wasted on DOL starts
Deep Dive — The Work Behind the Promise
Not brochure copy. The actual work we do — so you know what “done” looks like.
01 — Power Distribution — MV/LV, MCC, PFC, Earthing
We size for Kenya, not for catalogue. Ambient 30°C, grouping on cable tray, derating per BS 7671 Table 4C1 — a 95mm² cable on a tray with 6 others at 40°C is not 95mm² anymore; it’s 68mm² effective. We derate, you don’t burn.
PFC is not a box — it’s tuning. Steps of 25kVAR, detuned reactors for harmonics (THD >15% needs 7% reactor), controller with PF target 0.96 lag. 150kVAR in Athi: penalty KES 120k→0, PF 0.78→0.96, current -22%, transformer headroom +18%. Earthing: rods + mat + chem (bentonite if rocky), test quarterly, target ≤5Ω, we achieved 3.2Ω. You get single-line EBK-stamped, cable schedule, PFC calc, and earth test — not a sketch.
02 — Control & Automation — PLC, SCADA, VFDs That Pay
A 37kW pump on DOL draws 6× inrush and runs 100% when you need 60%. Put a Danfoss/ABB VFD, add pressure PID, and you save 35–50% and soften starts — bearing life +30%. PLC (Siemens S7-1200/1500 or Allen Bradley CompactLogix) for interlocks, SCADA (WinCC/FactoryTalk) for trends, alarms, and OEE.
We don’t just program — we audit first. 7-day log shows which motors hunt, which run light, which trip on voltage dip. Energy audit + savings report: ‘Install 3× 22kW VFDs, save 18MWh/year, KES 540k/year, payback 9 months.’ Proven in Athi: 32% energy saving after PFC+VFD+correct sizing.
03 — Backup & Safety — Genset, ATS, UPS, and You Going Home Safe
Genset is not kVA — it’s load step, altitude (Nairobi 1,795m derates 10%), and sequence. 200kVA prime at 0.8 PF = 160kW, but step load 60% means you need 320kVA to avoid voltage dip >15% on motor start. We size with load bank steps 0–100%, test ATS 8s, and do mains-fail drills at 2am with your night shift.
Safety: RCD 30mA on 400V boards (40ms trip), RCBO where required, arc flash PPE Cat 2 (8 cal), lockable isolators, LOTO, and thermography every quarter. A 68°C breaker is not ‘warm’ — it’s 2× limit and we replace it before it arcs. That’s why zero LTI in 200+ energizations.
What You Get at Handover — No “We’ll Send Later”
A file, not a handshake. Your auditor will thank you.
✓
7-day load log + earth + thermography report (15 pages, graphs)
✓
EBK-stamped single-line + cable schedule + PFC calc + earthing design
✓
MCC/PCC/PFC/earthing/genset/ATS installed by EPRA Class A electricians
✓
Megger, polarity, RCD, earth loop, thermography under load, load bank test certs
✓
ATS failover 8s proven under load + SCADA trends + O&M + training register
✓
1-year service + quarterly thermography + 24/7 standby (4h response)
In Thika, that handover file passed NCA with zero observations. The previous contractor’s “handover” was a receipt and 5 audit findings. Which file do you want to hand your boss on day 23?

The Maths — What It Saves, What It Returns
This is not cost. It’s avoided cost — with a 2.7× pattern.
PFC 150kVAR costs ~KES 900k installed. Penalty KES 120k/mo → 0 = payback 7.5 months. After that, it’s KES 1.44M/year saved, every year, 10-year life = KES 14.4M. Current efficiency 78% → 96% also cuts current 22%, so your 500kVA transformer gains 90kVA headroom — no KES 3M upgrade needed.
Genset + ATS 200kVA from KES 1.2M (80kVA) to KES 4.5M (200kVA) — but a single 4-hour outage at KES 120k/hour lost output = KES 480k. Two outages/month = KES 960k/month risk. Athi had 4 outages/month before — zero since. Even one prevented outage per quarter pays the service. And insurer? They cut premium when you show EBK drawings + test certs.
We audit free in Nairobi metro for contracts >3 months because the numbers sell themselves. You’ll see the KES value of the 7 stops you stopped counting — on paper, before you pay.
What They Say — After We Left
“We paid KPLC KES 120k/month penalty and called it normal. Dynatec logged 7 days, sized PFC, and penalty went to zero in 30 days. Genset sync 8 seconds — we tested at 2am, it just worked.”
Operations Manager — Twiga Cement — Athi River, Power System
Our Guarantee — In Writing, Not in Words
Penalty removal guaranteed in writing for PFC — or we tune free until it is zero. Earthing ≤5Ω guaranteed, or we add rods/mat at our cost. ATS 8s failover proven under load with load bank, or we replace ATS free. 1-year service + quarterly thermography included.
