Common Generator Applications

Standby Power

Standby generators automatically start during a mains failure, keeping your operations running without interruption. Backup power systems can synchronise with the mains and ramp down smoothly when power returns, ensuring a seamless transition. This solution is essential for businesses that cannot afford downtime during unexpected outages.

Ideal for:

  • Hospitals
  • Data centres
  • Commercial buildings

Prime Power

Prime power generators act as the main power source when grid electricity is unavailable or unreliable. They are designed for continuous or extended operation, making them ideal for remote sites and off-grid facilities. This solution is perfect for businesses that need guaranteed power in challenging environments.

Ideal for:

  • Remote sites
  • Construction projects
  • Off-grid facilities

Peak Lopping

Peak lopping generators provide additional power when your mains supply reaches capacity. This prevents overload and is an alternative to costly grid upgrades, ensuring your site can handle high-demand periods efficiently. It’s a cost-effective way to maintain performance without investing in expensive infrastructure upgrades.

Ideal for:

  • Manufacturing plants
  • Large commercial sites
  • Events with high power demand
