Powercuts - #DontBeLeftInTheDark!

#DontBeLeftInTheDark


Everyone must at some point experiences a Powercut.  That moment when you stand like a statue, a pregnant pause in life with a horror look of OMG we've had a Powercut!   You start looking for candles that you have either pushed to the back of a cupboard or you hear the moans of Not my new scented Candle!

By the time you have that candles lit, you are trying to calm the kids because there is no Lights, No TV, No Play Station, no Hair dyers and You cant boil the kettle to have a cup of coffee to steady those rattled nerves.

You're looking out the windows and doors scanning if your neighbours power is also out and then the realization hits you that the people you hardly speak to are looking back at you!

This scenario makes me chuckle, but only because its only one of many that scenarios that could make your electric power go off and there are so many people out there that are totally unprepared for most emergency events.

But what if said that when the lights first went out and before you even had a chance to fumble your way through the back of the cupboard that you could have power restored, peace restored and you could put the kettle on for a cuppa ... Just because your could!

I can say and do this because we invested in Backup Power for our Home!  

When our TV and lights go off, I sit there during the pregnant pause and then Genny starts the lights come back on ..... then I walk to the kitchen and put the kettle on .... Because I can!

Also, when a Powercut happens at work, we NEVER have to say ..




Why?  Because we have Backup Power!

But the statement of

Do you know that there are articles on the internet as far back as 2008 stating that the UK will suffer more powercuts as the Grid fails - we are now in those times predicted and powercuts are on the rise everywhere in the UK.  Are we facing a Blackout Britain?  

Someone explain the weather too.  The UK are now naming storms which seem to be getting more fierce as they crash into our shorelines with devastating results.  These storms bring more rain inland and mass flooding occurs with life altering events.  We even have Tornado's!

People laugh at Doomsday Prepper or Preppers in general;  I say DONT!  Being prepared in case of an emergency is a sensible thing.  If your Power goes off for a long time How would you cope without what we consider Basic requirements, which most people take for granted.... That's when you realise that being Prepared for any situation would of been a sensible choice to make.  But understand this, some people dont want to be helped and will always brush information aside, because it will never happen to them!

You have probably already Invested in Double Glazing, Cavity Wall insulation, maybe even solar panel.... Now would be the time to INVEST in some form of BACKUP POWER for your Home and maybe even your Business.

Automatic Transfer Switches


Automatic Changeover Switch - ATS / AMF

There are many applications in which it is essential to be sure of swift and efficient changeover to generator power when the mains power fails. In these instances you need an automatic changeover switch so that very little time is lost in the changeover.
We supply a large range of 3 and 4 pole automatic transfer switches (ATS) from 25 to 2500 amp. We also stock a comprehensive selection of 3 and 4 pole dual power automatic transfer switches from 25 to 2000 amp, for applications where a secondary backup source of emergency power is required.
In the wake of utility power loss—and surge—the load in your house is at the risk of being damaged or fried. This is where our load transfer switch swoops in, and lets the electronics in your house feed on generator power when utility power dies; and switches back to utility again when it’s revived.
ALL PANELS ARE RATED AT AC1 SO IF YOU REQUIRE AC3 OR OTHER PLEASE CONTACT FOR A QUOTATION
The Blades Power 100Amp 3Pole Compact against the same panel yet standard sized!  Could possibly be the Best Compact on the Market!
As you can see the Compact is ideal for Homes as it can be fitted in smaller spaces.

Boats, Campervans - Fancy Abit of Wild Camping?



Inverter Changeover Panels

So you fancy abit of the Camping Wild?  

Out in the middle of nowhere, down by the river or in the dark woods - Let the Blades Power Transformer Changeover Panel help you out with that.

Well for one happy customer in Warwickshire, this little beauty is in transit today!

















12v d/c Inverter changeover panel in a steel cubical This panel has been designed to do the following - The idea is that you can plug into a generator or mains supply through your normal 240v mains plug on your Camper Van, Boat, Or Caravan, when you are at a location or campsite.

With a flick of a switch, for travelling or at a remote location you can draw 240v power to the same circuit from your 12V dc battery supply.

With this panel we would use a set of 20 Amp 3 pole changeover contactors and a  d/c inverter ( this can be altered to your requirement).  We have an option for a battery charger to also be installed so when you are plugged into the mains it can trickle charge your battery's back to full power (this is an additional option).


This item can be used for any 12v d/c requirement and we are able to manufacture the panel to your requirements - Other Sizes Available Please contact one of our sales Team.
