Greetings!

 

It's hot out there! That means the power grid is at its most vulnerable. Don't let a power outage wreak havoc with your business.

 

Even a short blackout, like the one experienced last month in parts of New York City can be costly for businesses if they are not prepared.

 

Power was restored in about an hour, but that did not stop the city from experiencing some of the chaos it endured during blackouts last year and in 2003.

 

Consolidated Edison said the blackout affected 136,700 customers in all, or more than 500,000 people. 

Suspensions and delays were reported along the city's subways because of the power failure. The Metro-North commuter railroad, which serves the northern suburbs, had to reduce the number of trains it was using, resulting in delays and crowded trains as the evening rush hour approached, said spokeswoman Marjorie Anders.

Last summer, about 174,000 people were affected by a blackout in Queens. Residents sweltered without air conditioners on some of the hottest days of the year, and estimated business losses ran into the tens of millions of dollars as stores were forced to throw out perished goods.

 

It doesn't take long for a power outage to become extremely costly for businesses.

High-voltage spikes occur when there is a sudden voltage peak of up to 6,000 volts. These spikes are usually the result of nearby lightning strikes, but there can be other causes as well.

 

The effects on vulnerable electronic systems can include loss of data and burned circuit boards. Power Solutions carries and stocks a complete line of Surge Protection and Power Conditioning from all of the leading manufacturers.
