The costs of unplanned downtime

2x

electrical interruptions caused by extreme weather¹

$8,851 per minute

for electronic health record downtime²

$740,357 average cost

of a data center outage in 2016 (38% increase compared to 2010)³

Discover how you can avoid unplanned downtime

Decrease risk and cost by streamlining the design and build phases with productivity-boosting software and proven digital-power system architectures. Our design references to help you comply with local regulations and international standards such as IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-2, IEC 60364, IEC 60364-5-56 and IEC 62586.
In a selectively coordinated system, only the circuit breaker that directly supplies the overloaded/faulted part of the system will trip, limiting the service interruption to only the circuit experiencing the problem and not shutting down the larger portion of the power system. Use the latest software to optimize your installation design, calculate and size up your electrical components, and select combinations of circuit breakers that provide total selective coordination or optimized selectivity with cascading.
Complete visibility with insights about your electrical system performance enabling downtime prevention with a condition-based approach.

1) Operational intelligence: Easy-to-use power management software applications designed to help local personnel operate reliably and avoid disruptions.

2) Preventative maintenance: Maximize time between maintenance and avoid failure events with continuous equipment monitoring, analytics and advisory services to improve power availability and reliability.
Companies depend on clean, stable, and reliable power more than ever before. They expect their electrical systems to be self-healing and self-diagnosing to minimize the impact of faults and understand the root cause. When something out of the ordinary occurs, operators should be notified immediately with diagnostic info about the incident so that they may take decisive action to restore power quickly with minimal downtime.
