Emerson Network Power Grows On-Site 24/7 Battery-Support Offering in U.S. with Expanded Capabilities and Mobile Service Units

Emerson Network Power (Emerson) has announced a number of expanded battery services delivered by its Electrical Reliability Services business. While the company has provided battery services to data-center, utility and industrial operations for decades, its recently expanded capabilities are said to offer customers a more comprehensive battery-management solution for protecting their emergency power systems.

The expanded services include capacity and load testing, battery charger maintenance, battery replacement and regular preventive maintenance programs. To help provide these capabilities to customers locally on a 24/7 basis, Emerson has invested in new Mobile DC Power Services units located strategically across the United States. These custom-engineered units allow DC-system maintenance to be performed on site with all the necessary power and safety equipment conveniently located in the mobile unit, thus ensuring a reliable temporary power source in conducting required system maintenance.

“Our new mobile units add a unique offering to our already robust line of battery services,” says Tom Nation, Vice President and General Manager for Emerson Network Power’s Electrical Reliability Services. “They are packed with state-of-the-art technology that allows for the most accurate, repeatable and safe DC system maintenance, and they ensure there is no downtime or interruption to our customers’ businesses.”

According to the company, in addition to continuous operation, customers who take advantage of the expanded service offering will also see increased battery life and backup time; maximum system reliability; improved compliance with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); and reduced overall maintenance costs.
