4.18 SITE SUITABILITY & EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY - Is there any conflict with backup generators?
<p>The <strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(129,177,33)! important">power</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,39,118)! important">Perfector</span></strong> will optimise the mains supply to a building, so will be installed upstream of the LV distribution. It should not therefore affect or be affected by any backup generators that may be installed, as these will only come on stream if the incoming power supply fails. The only real consideration is the threshold at which the backup generators come on. They are often triggered by a drop in the supply voltage, so it is possible that if their control panels are not adjusted they will try to come on once the site is re-energised after the <strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(129,177,33)! important">power</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,39,118)! important">Perfector </span></strong>installation, as they will interpret the new lower supply voltage as a sign of an imminent failure. This can be avoided very simply by adjusting the nominal voltage level on the generators' panels to 220V before re-energising the site. Our engineering team will advise the electrical installation contractors of these considerations in advance of the installation.</p>
