What is an Emergency Power System?
Emergency power systems provide backup energy during unexpected power outages, keeping essential equipment running and supporting crucial functions when the primary power source fails. These systems commonly include generators, batteries, automatic transfer switches, and uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems. Emergency power systems are essential for facilities where power disruptions can lead to safety risks, financial loss, or interrupted operations.
Maintenance Timeline for Emergency Power Systems
To ensure your emergency power system is fully operational when needed, regular maintenance is essential. A consistent service schedule maximizes performance and extends equipment lifespan. Our service technicians will come in and take care of the following:
- Monthly checks: Inspect battery levels, transfer switch operation, and fuel supply for diesel generators.
- Quarterly testing: Perform load bank tests and operational tests to simulate real outage scenarios.
- Annual comprehensive service: Complete a full inspection, including engine systems, control panels, cooling systems, and wiring.
What to Consider When Installing or Repairing an Emergency Power System
Choosing and maintaining an emergency power system involves several key considerations:
- Capacity requirements: Understand the total power your facility needs during an outage to select the right system.
- System placement: Determine where the system will be installed for safety, accessibility, and compliance with building codes.
- Fuel type and availability: Choose between diesel, natural gas, or battery backup based on cost, storage, and environmental concerns.
- Redundancy levels: Ensure your system can handle prolonged outages or support additional critical equipment if needed.
- Compatibility with existing infrastructure: Verify that the new or upgraded system installed for emergency backup power supply integrates with your current electrical setup.
