Case Studies & Common Application Scenarios
Grocery Store
Situation
A chain of grocery stores have experienced storm related power outages. Each outage jeopardizes the cold and freezer sections, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in spoiled product; unexpected labor fees to restock shelves and significant loss in revenue.
Solution
The cost of a traditional emergency generator response runs between $4,000 and $6,000 per outage for temporary electrical connections, materials, etc. The installation of a Tap Box eliminates the associated labor costs and reduces the timeframe for the restoration of power from hours to minutes, ensuring your business is back up and running in no time.
International Equipment Manufacturer
Situation
This customer requires an occasional 50 Hz source of power for their final testing prior to the export of their machinery. Due to the random need for this level of power, the customer is seeking a temporary solution.

Solution
The Powertron Tap Box allows for a temporary 50 Hz generator to be quickly and easily connected, providing the right amount of power to their test bay for the final "burn in" prior to shipment. When the testing is complete, the temporary generator is removed and the site returns to normal.
Commercial Office Building
Situation
This facility has a code required, diesel generator to back-up normal electrical equipment along with the elevator, fire pumps, etc. The large diesel generator requires annual load bank testing to assure maximum performance when required.
Solution
The Powertron Tap Box simplifies the connection of the load bank, minimizes the labor and reduces the time required for the testing. Ultimately, saving the owner money on their preventative maintenance.
