Per NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines, a licensed electrician must install industrial DC (direct current) power wiring and connections. The risk of electrical shock is too great to ignore when the work is completed by an inexperienced individual. In many cases, your facility uses AC current. However, there are instances when you need DC power.

A DC electrical circuit requires a source (where the current enters the circuit) for your DC power. It also includes a return, which is the area where the current leaves or exits the circuit. It also involves a load, which involves the area that exists between the source and the return. Together, these components create the complete circuit that is necessary for operational safety.

Your AEI industrial electricians can assist you in determining your DC power wiring needs. They understand the importance of keeping your equipment properly powered. An electrical interruption can be costly. For proper installation of your DC wiring, please contact us today.

There is never a “Convenient time” to lose power and can be disastrous for any business. What you need is a Stand-alone generator with enough power to provide backup service for your business to keep it running smoothly, while enabling you to meet the demands of your customers. At AEI, we understand the need for a smooth and continuous source of power, and we have the experience to make sure you will.

The size of your stand-alone generator is contingent upon which pieces of equipment you want to be able to continue running once the regular source of power goes out. AEI electricians can assist you in determining which stand-alone generator system will meet the needs of your business. Moreover, they can guide your selection of a location within your facility for placement of your industrial-size generator.

Benefits of a Stand-Alone Generator
A stand-alone generator is essential if you want to keep your industrial business running during a power outage. It supplies your facility with the power you need to keep it operational so that you can continue to fulfill your commitment to your customers.

Your stand-alone generator is designed to transition your industrial facility from its normal power supply to the backup energy that is going to keep your facility operating as normally as possible under the circumstances. It does so with specialized controls that switch your power source from normal to backup, meaning you never need to worry about a lack of lighting or the loss of power. It kicks on automatically as soon as the power goes off, so you never need to stumble around in the dark searching for a manual control that turns it on and gets the power rolling again.

Blackouts and brownouts are not a matter of if, just a matter of when. So it’s important to be prepared, because you can be sure there is no good time to lose power. Don’t get caught without the power you need to keep your business functioning at normal pace. Acquiring a stand-alone generator can give you the peace of mind that your facility will continue to operate even when those around you don’t.
