Integrated power solutions company, Scorpion Power Systems, is providing architects, builders and electrical contractors with a unique method of meeting fire safety Building Regulations with a new Phoenix Dual Mains Automatic Changeover Panel.
Launched specifically for buildings with duplicate power supplies, the Changeover Panel automatically switches mains electricity from one supply to another, in the event of a fire or mains power failure, to ensure continuity of supply to fire fighting lifts. The Phoenix Dual Mains Automatic Changeover Panel has been specifically designed to meet Building Regulations B5 and Section 20 of the London Building (Act) Amendment Act 1939 and BS 5585-5 Section 4 relating to fire precautions in the design, construction and use of buildings.
Electrically and mechanically interlocked to ensure the isolation of the two supplies, the Phoenix Dual Mains Automatic Changeover Panel is backed up by both electrical supplies, so that if there is a break or loss of power it is recognised by the Changeover Panel, which mechanically switches over the supply.
