Situated at Midgham near Newbury and the M4, Resource operates a sophisticated communications network from its headquarters and needed to ensure that its servers, IT equipment, satellite navigation system and telephones were always operational.
Having initially purchased a number of small generators to support the servers and computers, senior electrical engineer Jason Beecher decided this approach was inadequate to ensure that the company could still provide a high level of service during power cuts.
Scorpion suggested a 6 kVA UPS system to provide backup for 30 minutes. It is supported by a 165 kVA continuously rated diesel generator fitted with an acoustic canopy that reduces noise to 68 dB(A) at 7 m.
This generator is specifically made for the long-term protection of critical and sensitive equipment. The UPS is the first line of response to a power failure. The generator then takes over until mains electricity is restored. The generator’s auto-mains failure panel monitors the supply until it is stable, before shutting down and resetting.
