Generator Hire & Connection

All clients will have the need at some time for a full isolation of their HV network, be it for a maintenance visit to service HV Switchgear or other power equipment or to allow the installation of additional transformers and switchgear etc.

There is always the unthinkable possibility of a major problem occurring such as a cable fault or transformer failure, although an E.P.E.S maintenance contract or service agreement can help towards preventing this scenario.

Whatever the situation should you need to have an isolation you may wish to keep certain supplies energised by the use of temporary generation.

At E.P.E.S we do not have our own hire fleet of generators but we have substantial experience of working with highly reputable generator hire companies who give us preferential rates. These companies are familiar with our site operations and will work with us to help the client.
