Permanent Standy Power vs. Emergency Power Ready

When you experience frequent power failures, a permanent natural gas or diesel genset is the best solution. Whenever the utility fails, power is restored within seconds.

When the cost of a permanent generator is prohibitive and there is a need to restore power to critical areas, the Powertron^SM tap box is an economical and safe solution. You can be up and running within minutes from the time the portable generator is delivered, compared to the many hours it takes when no connection device is available.

• The Powertron^SM 400 amp and 800 amp tap boxes are pass-through devices used with a manual or automatic transfer switch
• The Powertron^SM tap box is ready to receive temporary power fast and safely with virtually no disruption to the operation of your business
