Contingency Power
Understanding your contingency power connection needs
IDE has over 25 years' experience in designing power distribution solutions. With direct access to our skilled engineers, we can help you understand and specify solutions for generator connection.
Highest reliability components and switchgear
You need to know that, when it's needed, the contingency power can be relied upon. We use the highest quality switchgear in all our products, giving you confidence.
Site survey and installation
We provide site surveys to advise on positioning and power connection and switching requirements, and can also install if required.
Long term partnership
We innovate to suit the needs of our customers and can create bespoke products and services to match your capital and operational budgets.
We specialise in designing solutions that allow a quick connection to a back-up power source in the event of power failure or emergency shutdown. We can also supply temporary overlays when maintenance work is carried out on your facility’s existing switchgear.
