Emergency and Standby Diesel Power

Thousands of companies find themselves without power each year for any number of reasons: From extreme weather conditions 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 carry on 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.

How does standby power work?2025-07-16T18:14:05+01:00

The generator is connected to your electrical system with an automatic transfer switch. When the power goes out, the switch detects the outage and signals the diesel generator to start. The switch then disconnects you from the grid and connects to the generator.

Can you supply the switch gear as well?2025-07-16T18:14:43+01:00
