How a Power Generator Works for Condominiums

Generators for condominiums operate in standby mode with an automatic transfer switch that monitors the power grid and activates the equipment when it detects utility failures. They keep hallway lights, elevators, intercoms, electric gates, and complete electronic security systems running. They offer special security for elderly residents who rely on elevators. Renting is more advantageous than buying: it eliminates high acquisition, installation, and maintenance costs, leaving only fuel supply.

Telemetry. A measurement system essential to energy technology

Telemetry is a remote measurement system (“tele” = remote + “metron” = measure) that monitors generators in real time. Key benefits: equipment geolocation control, operational parameters monitoring (voltage, power, current, temperature), immediate dispatch of technical teams, remote corrections to normal operating conditions. Tecnogera has an Operational Control Center (CCO) for EaaS (Energy as a Service): swift data collection, structured predictive maintenance, accurate historical reports, reduced failure rates, increased equipment availability. An essential system for remote areas with unstable energy supply, ensuring maximum performance through continuous 24/7 monitoring, anticipating root cause issues.

Temporary Power and Climate Control in the Food Industry

The food sector grew by 2.08% in 2018, totaling R$ 656 billion in revenue. Industries require controlled climate conditions for perishable preservation and temperature control for products like chocolate. Tecnogera provided a solution for Danone’s Distribution Center with a 1400 kVA power generator, 3,200A transfer switch, and 1,500m of cables. Energy security prevents losses in the food production chain.

Load bank for testing diesel turbo generators

The load bank for testing diesel turbo generators is a high-standard system that prevents issues related to the activation of the power generator equipment. This device can be reactive or resistive, capable of performing quality tests on power sources with complete safety and without compromising electrical voltage. The equipment is essential for verifying the safety and performance of turbo generators, conducting precise measurements of power, voltage, current, and other critical parameters.

Understand what dielectric strength is and how it works in materials

Dielectric strength determines the maximum voltage insulating materials can withstand before failing, which is crucial for the safety of electrical installations. Tests expose materials to voltages from 5-400 kV to identify breakdown points. Insulating oils in transformers require special attention, as their strength varies with moisture and carbon contamination.

Electric shock: know what it is, causes, and how to avoid it

Electrical safety guide reveals that 86% of people have experienced shock, mainly from appliances and showers. Main precautions: do not overload outlets with adapters, install child protectors, check appliance voltage (110v/220v), avoid use in damp environments, keep wiring in good condition, do not use “gatos” (illegal connections), change bulbs with the circuit breaker off. In case of shock: provide medical assistance, do not touch the victim, turn off power or use dry insulating material to move them.

What is a manual power generator?

The manual power generator is operated by a crank instead of automatic start, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through internal engines. Ideal for hospitals, schools, and supermarkets that rely entirely on electrical power. Key advantages include mobility (small size, some with…

How does a power generator work?

A power generator is an essential piece of equipment that meets energy needs during power grid failures, serving as a primary or backup source. It offers advantages in security (ensuring operational continuity and alarm systems), agility (quick automatic response), and versatility (applicable in hospitals, industries, airports, events). To choose the right one, consider emergency or continuous use, available physical space, access to the power grid, and fuel type (diesel or gasoline). Tecnogera offers customized TurnKey solutions.

Types of Transfer Switches

The transfer switch is one of the most crucial devices in a power generator, maintaining safety control by executing functions that ensure operation and energy supply. It is essential for activation, such as immediate switching or interruption of external electrical signals. Types include manual with disconnect switches for manual source selection, automatic open…

What is the purpose of an electrical cable protector?

Safety is paramount in electrical installations to prevent serious accidents and equipment damage. Electrical cable protectors ensure that power is distributed correctly without causing issues. They shield against external factors like cigarette sparks or matches that could ignite fires. Solutions include ablative coating, metallic corrosion protection, and junction boxes that organize installations and simplify maintenance.
