“Our first exhibition of the year; Bournemouth Care show was a great Success”
The event took place 26-27 March at the BIC, Bournemouth. The show is dedicated to providing education, products and services for those running organisations responsible for the care of older or disabled people.
From minor incidents to major disasters, there is no doubt this event will have a financial impact on your business. To evaluate the cost to your business you need to work out the following:
Regardless of how robust your disaster recovery plan is, the success of its implementation will depend on the team that is responsible for it.
Structure your team by ensuring your selected member’s skills match the areas of responsibility. Below is a list of the key team members required and what they should be responsible for. In every case, there should be a primary and secondary member, both of whom will need to be equally briefed.
Shentongroup will be taking Power Call to the Bournemouth Care Show at the BIC on the 26th & 27th March 2014!
See below for the address.
Come and see us at stand W210 in the Windsor Hall; which is on the right-hand side as you come through from the Solent Hall. Here we will have a life size example of the connection panels so you can see exactly what Power Call involves, as well as lots of info about Power Call. Les Chapman (Sales & Technical Support) and Phil Chilton (Business Develpoment) will be on the stand to answer any questions you may have, and are offering a chance to sign up to a Power Call contract on the day.
When creating your disaster recovery plan, pre planning is vital. Follow these 3 steps to ensure you have all the elements to design a robust disaster recovery strategy.
According to AXA Insurance, 80% of businesses affected by a major incident, either never re-open, or close within 18 months.
Having a robust disaster recovery and business continuity plan, minimises this impact on the business and ultimately, the customer. Therefore, not only is disaster recovery planning important for you, it is important for your customers.
There are many terms that we come across every day in the power industry. Some are acronyms and others are industry terms. For the obvious to the ambiguous here are our thoughts.
This will be a post that we’ll update every time we think of any others. And if there is anything you’d like us to add just get in touch…
Below is a step by step guide to working through the processes.
Application Process
Step 1. Obtain the formal application document. Your local DNO may have their own preferred document, so you should contact them and ask for it.
G59 Embedded Generator Regulations
G59 is the regulation surrounding the connection of any form of generator device to run ‘in parallel’ or ‘synchronised’ with the mains electrical utility grid (National Grid). The regulation has its roots in Ofgem rules, and is administered as the Energy Networks Association Engineering Recommendation G59/2-1 “Recommendations for the connection of generating plant to the Distribution System of Licensed Distribution Network Operators – Amendment 1”.
This is relevant for all power generation, including combined heat and power units as well as generators being used for peak-lopping, or grid parallel use, greater than 16A per phase. For anything below this the Engineering recommendation G83/1-1 applies.
In years of doing projects with G59 protection shentongroup have often come across some popular myths, so we seek to dispel them here:-
“ I don’t need G59 Protection unless I intend to export power to the grid”.
Wrong. If you have any form of generator where the output is connected to the electrical systems in your building, and thus to the grid, you must protect it with a G59 relay device.
