Power within the hour

Power support company,
shentongroup is ensuring that
essential services keep functioning at
Northern Ireland’s Wilson Group
Nursing Home’ Larne Care Home
should a powercut occur with
standby power provided by the
Powercall, power within the hour
service. Wilson Group originally
contracted with shentongroup when
the home was first opened in 2007
and has since renewed the contract
year on year.

Larne Care Home is already fitted
with a changeover switch and
generator control panel. In the event
of a powercut, Powercall’s nationwide
service can despatch a generator from
a local depot with a target of 1-hour
delivery time, and a guaranteed
maximum of 3 hours. Upon arrival
the delivery engineer connects the
backup generator and advises the
customer to switch the control panel
to the emergency power. An indicator
lamp is fitted to the changeover
switch to advise the customer when
the mains power is restored.
