Emergency and Standby Diesel Power
Thousands of companies find themselves without power each year for a variety of reasons: from extreme weather to unfortunate accidents. If power is cut without warning, it usually means no heating or lighting, no IT, internet or security systems.
While this is inconvenient for a short period of time, losing power for 24 hours or even longer can be expensive or even dangerous. This is why standby and emergency power generator systems are increasingly in demand.
When your mains electricity supply fails, make sure you have a standby power generator to pick up the full electrical load for your building or site. This will prevent disasters and guarantee business operations continue as usual.
Midas can supply either a hire or customer purchase option for a standby generator; both options also come with our 24/7, 52 weeks of the year call-out service if ever needed.
Working with our trusted partners, Midas can also offer a full turn-key solution with regards to installing ATS (Auto Transfer Switches) to ensure a safe and reliable redundancy solution to your incoming grid supply.

Standby Power Benefits
Standby power systems are designed to provide seamless backup power when your main power supply fails, minimising disruption to your operations.
These systems work by connecting a generator to your electrical infrastructure via an automatic transfer switch. In the event of a power outage, the switch immediately detects the loss of mains electricity and signals the generator to start. It then safely disconnects the property from the grid and transfers power to the generator, allowing essential systems to continue running without interruption.
A key component of any reliable standby power solution is the switchgear and associated infrastructure. Midas works closely with trusted partners to supply all necessary equipment, connectivity, and certification required for a safe and compliant installation. This ensures that every aspect of the system is professionally managed and fully aligned with industry standards.
At the core of the system is the standby diesel generator itself. Typically permanently installed, this type of generator is designed to automatically activate during a power failure, supplying consistent, dependable electricity to homes, businesses, or sites. By combining intelligent switching technology with robust generator performance, standby power solutions provide a dependable safeguard against unexpected outages.
