Electricity in Case of Emergency

Most of us do not know the importance of electricity until it's not available. Power cuts are not predictable, it could occur at any moment. Electricity plays an important role in all sorts of business. Especially in hospitals power cuts could create lot of problems. So, whenever there is power cut, the generator could prevent the loss. A Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Generally, generators have two main components.

1.Motor: Burns fuel (LPG, petrol or diesel) to supply power.
2.Generator head: Turns the power into electricity. The electricity generated by a generator is measured in terms of voltage and watts.
There are two basic types of generators. They are

STANDBY GENERATORS IN EDGEWATER: These are used to offset the harmful effects of power failures; they are installed permanently as an emergency power source for your business

. They are hard wired into an electric system with special circuitry that detects an outage and then automatically switches over to the standby power supply.

PORTABLE GENERATORS IN EDGEWATER:

These are usually used in places where there is no power from the local power company. These are sufficient for lighting and running appliances and they are less expensive.
Other types of generators, based on the fuel types are gas, LPG, diesel and natural gas generators.
