Standby diesel generators

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.
