Panel changes over
August 1st 2008

Integrated power solutions company, Scorpion Power Systems, has upgraded its Phoenix Dual Mains Automatic Changeover Panel, which can now be incorporated with a building management system and fire control panel.

Also offered with a remote annunciator panel, enabling fire officers to see the status of alarms around a building, the Phoenix has enhanced monitoring facilities and can be adapted to meet individual designs.

The panel has been formulated for buildings with duplicate power supplies. It automatically switches mains electricity from one supply to another in the event of a fire or mains power failure to ensure continuity of supply to firefighting lifts.

Electrically and mechanically interlocked to ensure the isolation of the two supplies, the panel is backed up by both electrical supplies, so that if there is a break or loss of power it is recognised by the changeover panel, which mechanically switches over the supply. Comprising a 3-phase monitor to supervise loss of phase or under-voltage, the Phoenix dual mains automatic changeover panel includes a lamp indicator to show supply and switching status, and a key to facilitate testing.
