Emergency Booster Set Inverter Replacement for Leicester School
When a booster set inverter fails, maintaining a reliable water supply becomes a priority, particularly in environments such as schools where disruption can impact hundreds of staff and students.
NT Cloke Pumps & Water recently attended a school in Leicester after a fault was reported on one of the site’s booster sets. Our engineers responded quickly to investigate the issue and implement a solution that would keep the system operational while a permanent repair was arranged.
The Challenge
Following a full inspection of the booster set, our engineers identified that one of the inverter drives had failed completely and was no longer operational.
A failed inverter can prevent a pump from operating correctly, reducing system resilience and potentially affecting water pressure throughout the building.
With the school requiring a reliable and uninterrupted water supply, a temporary solution was needed immediately while a replacement inverter was sourced.
Our Solution
Rather than leaving the site operating with reduced protection, our engineers supplied one of NT Cloke’s own stock inverters on loan, allowing the booster set to continue operating safely and efficiently.
This temporary measure ensured the school’s water supply remained fully functional while a quotation was prepared and the replacement equipment ordered.
Once the new inverter arrived, our team returned to site to complete the permanent installation and carry out a full recommissioning of the system.
Scope of Works
- Emergency attendance and fault diagnosis
- Identification of failed booster set inverter
- Supply of temporary loan inverter
- Continued operation of the booster system
- Supply and installation of new inverter drive
- Full booster set recommissioning
- Operational and safety testing
- Full service completed during visit
The Results
The temporary solution prevented disruption to the school’s daily operations while the permanent replacement was sourced and installed.
Following installation of the new inverter, the booster set was fully recommissioned, tested and returned to service with both pumps operating correctly.
Project Outcomes
✔ School water supply maintained throughout the repair process
✔ Temporary inverter solution provided immediately
✔ New inverter supplied and installed
✔ Booster set fully recommissioned
✔ Both pumps restored to normal operation
✔ Full service completed during the visit
✔ System left fault-free and operating efficiently
Why Fast Inverter Replacement Matters
Modern booster sets rely on inverter technology to control pump speed, maintain pressure and improve energy efficiency.
When an inverter fails, the effects can include:
- Reduced system redundancy
- Pressure fluctuations
- Increased energy consumption
- Potential loss of water supply
- Additional strain on remaining equipment
Having access to replacement stock and experienced engineers allows faults to be resolved quickly while minimising operational disruption.
