shentongroup, has launched a
range of standby diesel generators
and control systems that meets the
life safety requirements of BS
EN8519: 2010. Called
PhoenixPower, the generators are
available in sizes from 20 to 800kVA
and have been developed to provide
secondary power for ‘Life Safety’
and fire-fighting systems.

The PhoenixPower range differs
from many standby power solutions
by being specifically designed to
meet BS EN8519. Switching from
mains power to the PhoenixPower
generator or secondary mains supply
is carried out automatically by the
PhoenixControl changeover panel,
which is designed for dual mains
sources and meets the new standard.

It ensures continuity of supply to fire
fighting lifts and other essential
equipment.

Electrically and mechanically
interlocked to ensure the isolation of
the two supplies, the PhoenixControl
has indicators to show the supply
and switching status to the generator
as well as a key switch to facilitate
testing.
