HARRL Supplies MV & LV Switchgear for a Copper-Cobalt Mine Project in Zambia

HARRL (Jiangxi Huanlin Group Co., Ltd.) supplied a coordinated package of medium- and low-voltage switchgear for a copper-cobalt mining, processing and smelting project in Zambia's Copperbelt region. The equipment was delivered in multiple phases over 2023, reflecting the customer's sustained confidence in HARRL as a switchgear supplier for mining in Africa.

Project background

Copper-cobalt operations in Zambia run continuous, power-intensive processes across mining, ore processing, and metallurgy. Any interruption to the distribution system directly affects production, so the project required reliable, fully tested switchgear across both medium- and low-voltage levels.

Because the build-out proceeded in stages, the customer needed a supplier who could deliver consistent, compatible equipment across several procurement phases — not just a single shipment.

The HARRL solution: coordinated MV & LV switchgear

HARRL supplied the project's core distribution lineup across multiple contracts:

• Medium-voltage switchgear — KYN28-12 (12 kV) metal-clad switchgear for the primary distribution level.
• Low-voltage switchgear — GGD distribution switchgear for process and auxiliary loads.
• Phased delivery — supplied in several batches across 2023 to match the project's construction schedule.
• Standards: designed and routine-tested to IEC 62271 (switchgear) before shipment.

Sourcing both MV and LV switchgear from a single manufacturer ensured electrical and mechanical compatibility across the system and simplified the customer's procurement and logistics.

Engineering and delivery capability

Delivering equipment to a remote mining site in Central Africa across multiple phases demonstrates HARRL's strength in manufacturing consistency, export logistics, and long-term project support. Every batch arrived factory-tested and ready for installation, helping the customer keep a complex, multi-stage build-out on schedule.

That a single client returned to HARRL for repeat supply is itself a strong endorsement of HARRL's quality and service.
