Don't Let Surge Protection Systems Leave You in the Dark
Stand-by Power: Complete Power Assurance for Your Critical Operations
Ensure Operational Continuity with Stand-by Power
Power surges can be unpredictable and, while they may only last for a fraction of a second, they can trigger protective shutdowns or outages that can paralyse your operations. Production lines can be brought to an abrupt halt, IT systems can crash leading to data corruption, and critical automated processes can fail. Beyond immediate disruption, repeated power events can significantly reduce equipment lifespan, increase operational downtime and ultimately damage customer relationships.
Reliable stand-by power solutions work together with your surge protection systems to provide complete power assurance. DC chargers and battery tripping units keep switchgear systems live, enabling UPS systems to deliver backup power to equipment when needed. Furthermore, by maintaining live switchgear throughout an outage, PB Design solutions ensure seamless continuity once the external power source becomes available again. A comprehensive stand-by power strategy, must include the facility to continue to handle an internal power source
Together they maintain stable power delivery to ensure your operations continue uninterrupted during outages to prevent costly equipment damage and downtime. Explore our Power Assurance solutions below to see how we keep your operations going while protecting your bottom line during surge-induced outages.

The Role of Stand-By Power in Surge Protection
What happens when a power surge leads to a complete power outage? Power surges, though brief, can cause complete power loss resulting in significant disruption, equipment damage, and financial losses. While surge protection helps shield against voltage spikes, a comprehensive Power Assurance strategy, including DC chargers and battery tripping units, is crucial. Learn how effective stand-by power solutions help businesses maintain critical operations.
