Power Electrics install super silent set at Avon Fire and Rescue

Power Electrics (Bristol) Ltd. has just completed the installation of a 100kva generator into Avon Fire and Rescue Headquarters in Bristol. The super silent set will ensure the site remains fully operational should a disruption to the power supply occur.

Avon Fire and Rescue covers an area of 134,753 hectares, and a population of almost 1,000,000. It provides fire fighting, fire safety and rescue operations to Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Unitary Authorities.

With responsibility for such a wide area it is vital that the hub of Avon Fire and Rescue's operations is not affected by a power failure. The new generator will be used to maintain IT connections and part of the management structure at the headquarters.

Power Electrics also service and maintain a generator that was installed when the station was built in the 1970s. This generator provides backup to the station itself which is the main fire station in the area.

"We have always found Power Electrics to be extremely reliable," says Terry Osmond, Property Services Manager at Avon Fire and Rescue. "As a company, they're dedicated to offering the best service possible, this is a real strength for them and one which is very important for us."
