Uninterruptible power supplies (also called uninterruptible power sources, or UPS) allow you to bring reliable power and protection for all critical power applications. UPS systems up to 1200kva with bypass switchboards, extended battery cabinets, PDUs, and web-enabled power monitoring in order to have a constant power supply in situations and industries where backup and emergency power is often necessary. 

This protects the safety of your operation as well as protects against data loss or other critical power source mishaps. This can also provide a backup in case of power in terms of voltage falls below an unacceptable/usable level. UPS allows for custom full control system integration in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications.

Customization isn’t always necessary, especially when there is a prefabricated electro-center that’s been tested and proven to work with your business and/or industry. 

Prefabricated electro-centers are modular enclosures with pre-installed and factory-tested power distribution equipment. Using prefabricated electro-center buildings directly translate into both time and cost savings. 

Even with a pre-assembled unit like this, all design and engineering work is performed by us based on your specifications. The finished product is delivered to the site exactly built to your requirements. 

As required, a complete set of structural plans stamped by a professional engineer registered in the state of building placement is provided to you. We will provide state and third-party inspections prior to shipping the building as well.
