Designing Equipment to Support Your Customer’s Emergency Power Supply

Nobody wants to think about power outages. However, they can happen at any time – often when we least expect it. Whether it’s a natural disaster or a broken power line, not having an emergency power supply can lead to serious problems.

We both know how bad it is when the power goes out. Operations come to a halt and the clock keeps ticking as you face downtime and lost productivity. Every second without power adds up, and that’s when the real stress kicks in. On the bright side, the right power solutions can help you to stay prepared..

Since emergency power can make or break ongoing projects, we put a lot of care into engineering our equipment.  In this blog, we’ll share what we focus on when designing our power solutions. You’ll see how we center our efforts designing reliable, easy-to-use electrical equipment that can keep the power on when it matters most.

User-Friendly Features for an Accessible Emergency Power Supply

When a blackout occurs, emergency power equipment needs to start working right away. That’s why we keep our designs simple and easy-to-use. When facing an electrical crisis, the last thing anyone needs is complicated equipment that needs a manual to operate.

Here’s a few examples of our user-friendly designs in action:

• Quick Connect Switch (QCS): Our QCS has an easy-grip front-rotary handle with an integrated ABB switch that lets you open and close circuits with ease. When it’s time to turn the power on or off, simply turn the door-mounted rotary switch.

• Camlock Panel: Say goodbye to the hassle of cutting individual holes for Camlocks! Our Camlock Panels come in many configurations so that you can always provide your customers with what they need. Thanks to their ability to offer quick and easy cable connections, our Camlock Panels are often used in power distribution equipment like the Camlock Connection Box (CCB) and Generator Connection Box (GDS).
• TruOne Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS): This power distribution unit has sensors that automatically detect when the power goes out and switches the system from utility to emergency power. It also has dual-voltage sensing technology, so it can detect the voltage your system is using and convert to that level.

The Perfect Configuration for Your Emergency Power Supply

Every facility is unique, so we provide a variety of standard configurations that can be customized to fit different needs. We also offer custom designs available at your request. Whether it’s dealing with specific power needs, a special setup, or space constraints, our practical power solutions are made to help your customers find exactly what works for them.

If you need help with a custom unit, our talented engineers are here to help! We offer one-on-one consultations to understand your customers’ needs and ensure we design the perfect power solution tailored just for them. Your success is our priority, and we’re here to collaborate and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Here’s a few examples of customizations that we offer:

• Power Capacity Adjustments: Some facilities require a larger emergency power supply than others. We have plenty of experience adapting our standard power distribution units to meet unique power demands.
• Integration with Existing Infrastructure: If your customers want to add a backup power system to their permanent electrical setup, we have plenty of options to make that process easy. For example, our TruOne ATS comes with service or non-service entrances to integrate smoothly with their system’s existing circuit protection.
• Size and Space Considerations: We know space can be a bit of a challenge, which is why we offer power distribution units in a variety of Camlock Panel positions and mounting styles to suit their needs. For example, our Tap Box comes in both wall-mount and pad-mount options. And if your customers need even more flexibility, our units with cams can be customized with top, bottom, or side-mounted Camlock Panels.

Blackouts are never planned, and your customers can’t afford to wait when they need an emergency power supply. We know that quick access to the right power solutions is crucial for minimizing downtime and keeping things running smoothly. That’s where our stock availability comes into play.
