YOUR GO-TO GUIDE

Hello, Perth's business community! While we love talking about how to empower your business with electrifying solutions, today we're focusing on what happens when the power goes MIA. Yes, we're tackling power outages and what you should do when your business is left in the dark. 💡❌

WHY HAS YOUR BUSINESS LOST POWER?

Power outages can occur for a variety of reasons, from stormy weather to issues with Western Power's supply. Sometimes it's a simple fix; other times, it requires a bit more electrical muscle to get things up and running. Knowing the cause can help speed up the solution! Here are some common culprits behind those unexpected blackouts:

Weather-Related Issues: Thunderstorms, high winds, and even extreme heat can affect power lines and substations, leading to outages.

Equipment Failures: Sometimes, the equipment providing your power can fail. Whether it's a transformer blowing up or a fault in a transmission line, these are usually out of your control.

Scheduled Maintenance by Western Power: They may need to turn off your power temporarily to perform essential maintenance safely.

Human Error: Accidents happen. A car hitting a utility pole or construction work damaging underground cables can cut off your power supply.

Overloaded Systems: Particularly in the peak of summer or winter, the power grid can become overloaded, causing rolling blackouts to manage demand.

Localised Issues: Sometimes, it's as simple as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker within your own building. Check your switchboard when in doubt!

SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS

In the event of a power loss, your business needs to follow certain safety protocols. That means:

Keeping a battery-powered emergency lighting system (which we can install, repair and maintain if and when you need it)
Informing all employees and customers about the outage and safety procedures
Check the switchboard and ensure all RCD’s are in the “ON” position
Businesses with heavy machinery, limit access to these areas until power is restored
If the outage is caused by a storm, keep a safe distance from any downed electrical lines
