Zenith now has the capability to continue operating without any interruption, even under total electrical loss from the local utility company. Our customers expect us to answer their needs any time of the day and any day of the week. Having the ability to run the entire company during an electrical loss is a significant differentiator for our company. We have solved the problem by installing a powerful commercial-grade electrical generator.
The generator includes an automatic transfer switch. The switch senses the loss of utility company electrical power, starts the generator, and applies the electricity from the generator directly to all building circuits; all within seconds of losing the normal electricity!
The generator itself sits on top of a 1,325-gallon tank that can keep the entire company running for several weeks. Every Tuesday at 10:00am the generator automatically comes on for 10 minutes. This is a self-test feature to check the system that helps to keep the equipment in good shape through periodic usage.
Specifications of the generator as follows:
