A power interruption changes both the storage problem and the temporary-unit setup. Confirm whether safe building power is available, when utility service may return and whether generator support is practical.
Start here
- Follow facility safety procedures and do not energize damaged circuits.
- Record outage time, temperatures and utility or electrician updates.
- Confirm whether the permanent refrigeration, the building service or both are unavailable.
- Identify a placement area where temporary power, exhaust, fuel and security can be managed.
Facts to confirm before dispatch
- Unit electrical load and starting requirements
- Generator capacity, fuel plan and safe placement
- Cable route and connection by qualified personnel
- Noise, exhaust, operating hours and site security
- Transfer plan when permanent power returns
